Updates
What's new
Everything we've shipped, newest first.
-
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.
