Updates
What's new
Everything we've shipped, newest first.
-
Improved
Cuts that land on the beat you hear
- The climax is cut in a changing rhythm and its big moment lands on a hard cut. Quiet passages flow with soft transitions.
- Each flight plays forward: your film no longer jumps back and forth along the same route.
-
New
See how it works in 36 seconds
- A short film on the homepage shows how AiCutting turns hours of drone footage into your finished film.
- Desktop app 6.0.2.0: 10-bit footage (D-Log, HLG) no longer turns green. Restart the app to update.
-
Improved
Your film ends on the song's big moment
- Shorter than the song? The music now starts so your film builds up and ends on the song's climax, instead of fading out in the intro. "From the beginning" is still one tap away.
-
Improved
Sharper on the beat, and a mail you can tap
- Cuts now land on the beat you hear: measured on twelve songs, nine in ten beats sit within 50 ms of it, up from half.
- The "cut is ready" mail has a button to your film and comes in the language you ordered in.
-
Improved
See every clip before it uploads
- Each picked clip shows a frame, its length and size. Take one out with a tap, and picking again adds to your selection.
- The estimate never promises more film than your footage holds, and pages now glide into each other.
-
New
Watch your cut take shape — from the upload to the premiere
- The upload shows speed and time left, and while you wait you see what the AI is doing: watching your clips, listening to the music, cutting on the beat.
- Your film opens with a new title, and the first time you see it, it gets a short premiere.
-
Fixed
Clearer when something is missing — and no more one-shot films
- If an order can't start, the page now says why — a missing video, an unticked box — instead of blaming your connection.
- Bought credits for a quote? You land back on it. And a long upload is no longer cut down to a single short shot.
-
Improved
You see the price before the cut starts — and your film lands in your account
- The app shows what the cut costs and what is left afterwards — nothing leaves your balance until you press Start on that screen.
- Your finished film saves itself to your account, and the app was redrawn around a film strip of your own clips.
-
Fixed
The app installs on every Windows 11 again
- The setup refused to start on Windows 11 23H2 and 24H2 with “This program does not support the version of Windows your computer is running”. It asked for a newer Windows than it needs. Fixed — download it again under Download.
-
New
Vertical cuts keep your subject, not the middle of the picture
- A 9:16 cut for Reels or TikTok used to keep the centre of every shot. It now keeps the part your subject is in — the lighthouse, the boat, the person.
- Short takes make it into the film too. Quick clips and QuickShots used to be left out completely.
-
Fixed
Local Cut starts again
- A cut on your own PC could stop with an error right after starting. Fixed — get the new version from Download in your account.
-
Improved
You can watch your cut being made
- The page shows the five steps of your cut and counts along in the one that is running: 7 of 40 clips checked, 24 keepers, 312 beats.
- If one of your clips is not in the finished film, the result page now says so — and why.
-
Improved
Your video sounds as loud as the rest of the feed — and ends on the beat
- The music now plays at the same loudness as everything around it on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
- Every film closes on the beat, with the music fading out over the last bar instead of stopping mid-phrase.
-
Improved
Local Cut checks your plan when a cut starts
- Starting a cut on your PC now confirms your plan or credits with your account, so it needs an internet connection. The render itself still runs entirely on your machine.
-
Improved
The desktop app installs itself — one setup file, no ZIP
- One file, one double-click: AiCutting Studio lands in your Start menu and uninstalls under Apps & features. No administrator password, and a third less to download.
-
New
Sign in with Google
- Log in or sign up with your Google account. Same address as an existing account? Google simply signs you into it. E-mail and password keep working as before.
-
Improved
Rating a cut is two taps — and your words can go on our homepage
- A finished cut asks for stars and, if you like, a comment. With 4 or 5 stars one checkbox publishes it on our homepage — never your name, e-mail or footage.
-
New
AI Director works for everyone — no setup, no extra tools
- Pick AI Director in the desktop app and it just works: your footage stays on your PC, only small anonymous review frames leave it. Included with your account.
- Bring a song and it sets the length: a 4-minute track means a 4-minute film, and every cut lands frame-exact on its beat.
-
Improved
Fairer pricing: you pay for your footage, not the finished video
- 1 credit per 10 minutes of uploaded footage in 1080p, 3 in 4K. The price is final when you confirm — the length of the finished video never changes it.
-
New
Director 6 is now the engine behind every cut
- Every cut, cloud and desktop, is planned and rendered by Director 6: it rates every shot, plans on a real musical grid and audits its own render before delivery.
-
New
Try Director 6 — our next-generation editor (Beta)
- A new opt-in on the New Cut screen. It rates every shot, plans on a smarter musical grid and checks its own render. If a render fails, your credits come back.
-
Fixed
Every cut now ends like an ending
- When a cut is shorter than your track, the music fades out instead of stopping mid-phrase. The teaser and the short get the same ending.
-
Fixed
You only pay for the cut you actually get
- The quote is a price cap, not a fixed price: if the finished cut comes out shorter, the extra credits are refunded automatically.
-
Improved
The homepage now shows the director at work
- Real AiCutting footage leads the page, and the Director Pass explains which shots earn a place in the timeline.
-
Improved
Accounts are ready immediately
- New accounts open straight into the studio without an email confirmation step.
- Paid jobs keep a downloadable order record on the job page.
-
New
The site now speaks German
- Every marketing page is available in German at /de.
- German visitors land there automatically, and a footer switcher remembers your choice.
-
Improved
Easier to find, smoother to browse
- Search engines now show the logo and rich results, so AiCutting is easier to find.
- Pages fade in cleanly with a loading bar instead of a hard flash.
-
New
See a real cut on the homepage
- The showcase now plays a real AiCutting edit from a Madeira drone shoot (Beta).
-
New
Buy credits — with coupon codes
- A modern buy page with three credit packs, priced in your own currency.
- Enter a coupon code right at checkout; secure payment through Stripe.
-
New
Upload, see the exact price, then render
- Add your footage and get an exact quote up front — you only pay for a cut you confirm.
- After payment the film renders and you download it. No subscription.
-
Improved
A cleaner Cinematic style
- Cinematic is now effect-free — no zoom or shake, just clean cuts and colour.
- The more experimental styles are clearly flagged Beta.
-
New
A brand-new cutting engine
- Shots are cut to the beat of the music, with an automatic cinematic colour grade.
- Titles are built from your footage's location, and multi-gigabyte uploads work.
-
Fixed
Rock-solid uploads
- Fixed an issue where large uploads could stall partway. Uploads now retry automatically and keep going.
