Official FAQ
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. FirstCut runs in any modern browser, on any OS. No desktop app, no GPU.
- Does it upload my video?
- No. Your browser extracts just the audio and uploads only that. The video never leaves your computer.
- Is this a video editor?
- No — it’s a pre-editor. It builds the first cut and hands off to Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut.
- Does it look at the picture?
- No — it works from the transcript. That keeps it fast, and it’s ideal for talking-driven video.
- What does the AI actually do?
- It chooses and orders moments from your own footage — it never generates images, video or audio. FirstCut is an independent product built on third-party speech-to-text and AI language models, and isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by their makers.
- What is it best for?
- Conversation-led footage: podcasts, interviews, webinars, courses, lectures, meetings.
