AI UGC video editor
The AI UGC video editor that edits your real footage
Upload the raw recording, retakes and all. CutUGC watches it like an editor would, keeps the best take of every line, cuts the dead air, frames it for 9:16 and adds the hook and captions. You get a short that is ready for TikTok, Reels, Shorts or a paid ad.
What a UGC edit actually needs
UGC works because it looks like a real person talking to the camera. The edit is what makes it watchable: a hook in the first second or two, no pauses or stumbles, captions for people scrolling with the sound off, and framing that fits a phone screen.
None of that is creative guesswork, but all of it is slow by hand. Scrubbing through fifteen minutes of retakes to find the cleanest version of each sentence is most of the job. That is the part CutUGC automates.
What CutUGC does to your clip
- Finds repeated takes of the same line and keeps the strongest one, judged on delivery, fillers, restarts and pauses.
- Removes silences, false starts and filler words, with cuts placed between words rather than through them.
- Crops landscape or portrait footage to 9:16, following the speaker and the product instead of the centre of the frame.
- Writes a hook for the opening and can move the strongest line to the front.
- Adds a few punch-in zooms on the words that carry the delivery, plus optional callouts.
- Burns in word-by-word karaoke captions in one of four styles, placed clear of the platform buttons.
- Normalises loudness and exports a 1080×1920 H.264 MP4.
How it works
- Upload a clipOne person talking to camera, up to fifteen minutes. mp4, mov, webm or mkv.
- Give a brief (optional)Say what the video is for and pick a target length, or choose full-script mode to keep every line.
- The AI makes the editIt watches and listens to the whole clip, plans the cut, then renders it. A review pass watches the result and fixes what it missed.
- Change anythingTrim clips, restore words from the transcript, switch caption styles, remove a zoom. Re-rendering takes seconds.
- ExportDownload the MP4 and post it.
Editing, not generating
Plenty of "AI UGC" tools generate a synthetic presenter reading a script. CutUGC does the opposite: the model only decides where to cut, crop and zoom, and ffmpeg carries that out on your recording. Every frame in the output is a frame you filmed.
That matters when authenticity is the point. The face, the voice and the words in the final video are yours, which is what makes UGC believable in the first place.
Who it is for
- UGC creators who deliver several videos a week and spend more time editing than filming.
- Brands and agencies turning creator footage into ad variations.
- Founders and marketers filming their own talking-head content on a phone.
Questions
Does CutUGC generate AI avatars or AI voices?
No. It only edits the footage you upload. There are no avatars, no voice cloning and no generated frames.
Can I use CutUGC videos for paid ads?
Yes. The export is a standard vertical MP4, suitable for TikTok, Meta and YouTube ads as well as organic posts.
Do I need editing experience?
No. The first cut is made for you. Editing controls are there if you want to change something, and none of them are required.
