| ### FirstCut | ||
|
|
||
| **Edit the story before you edit the video.** | ||
|
|
||
| FirstCut is a browser-based narrative editor for dialogue-led footage: interviews, documentaries, podcasts and talks. It transcribes your footage, finds the storylines in it, and assembles a rough cut from a short brief (target length, format and rhythm). The cut is laid out as beats, clips and words, so you restructure it like a paper edit: move a beat, drop a clip, cut a sentence, or ask for a change in plain language. Every revision plays in the browser from your local files. | ||
|
|
||
| When the story holds together, export FCPXML and choose **File > Import > XML** in Final Cut Pro. The project arrives with the clips in story order, each with its source in and out points. The file references media by filename, so you may need to relink to your originals. Effects, titles, B-roll and extra camera angles are not part of the export. That is the work you do in Final Cut Pro. | ||
|
|
||
| - **What uploads:** your browser extracts the audio track and uploads only that for transcription. The video files stay on your disk. | ||
| - **What the AI does:** it selects and orders moments from the transcript. It does not analyse the picture, and it never generates images, video or audio. | ||
| - **Limits:** source files can be up to two hours each. It is a web app, not a native Mac app or a Workflow Extension. | ||
| - **Other exports:** Final Cut Pro 7 XML, CMX3600 EDL and OpenTimelineIO. | ||
|
|
||
| There is a free plan (30 minutes of media and 5 AI cuts, no credit card). Paid plans start at USD$15/month. | ||
