CutUp FAQ

CutUp is an AI video repurposing platform. Paste a YouTube, TikTok or Instagram link — or upload a file — and CutUp generates timed captions, applies creator-inspired subtitle styles, and exports social-ready MP4s with burned-in captions for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

Short-form creators, YouTubers repurposing long-form, social media managers, educators turning lectures into clips, and teams that need consistent caption styling without a full post-production workflow.

Yes. Paste a link, wait for captions, pick a style preset, and export. You do not need Premiere, CapCut or After Effects to get a postable MP4.

Yes. The Free plan lets you run the full preview workflow in your browser — no credit card. You see AI captions and styled previews before upgrading for full MP4 exports and higher monthly limits. Try it on the homepage →

CutUp uses Whisper-grade speech recognition with word-level timing. Clean studio audio typically scores very high; noisy environments may need a quick pass in the editor before export.

Yes. Review timing and text in the editor, switch between subtitle versions, and export SRT or a burned-in MP4 only when the copy matches your hook.

CutUp generates captions from your video or link. If you already have an SRT, use it in your editor — CutUp is built for generating and styling captions from speech, not replacing a dedicated SRT import tool.

Yes. Every run produces a full transcript alongside captions. Export to TXT or DOCX on paid plans for blogs, show notes, or client deliverables.

Transcription works across dozens of languages. Paid plans add translation for captions, transcripts and summaries — pick the output language in the tool before export.

Yes on Starter and above for SRT and document exports. Burn translated captions into an MP4 requires Pro or Business.

Yes. Translate first, preview the styled captions in your target language, then run MP4 export so the burned-in text matches what you reviewed.

Bold, high-contrast captions with emphasis on key words — designed for talking-head hooks and direct-response clips. Yellow highlights on punchlines, tight timing on fast speech.

Large, energetic typography with strong color pops — built for retention on fast-paced challenge and reaction content. Words scale up on emphasis beats.

Clean serif-inspired captions with generous spacing and muted colors — suited for premium brands, real estate, finance and lifestyle content where readability matters more than flash.

Lower-third friendly captions with readable line lengths — ideal for interview clips, podcast highlights and talking-head excerpts where the speaker should stay visible.

Pick from curated creator presets and preview before export. Fine-tune caption text and timing in the editor. Full custom font/color controls are on the roadmap — Pro and Business plans get the full preset library today.

After captions and style are set, CutUp runs a render pipeline: prepare source, lay out captions, apply your creator style, render video, and deliver a downloadable MP4. Progress streams in real time in the export queue.

Yes on Pro and Business. MP4 export bakes your styled captions directly into the video file — not a separate subtitle track. Starter covers text exports only.

Yes. Exports default to vertical, social-ready framing suited for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

Free previews may cap at 480p. Paid plans unlock full-quality cinematic export. Your dashboard reflects the quality tier for your current plan.

Short clips typically finish in a few minutes. Longer source files take proportionally longer. The export queue shows each pipeline stage so you know exactly where your render is.
