Make a video essay from a topic.
Give ArCut a topic and it researches it, writes the script and finds the pictures. You edit the film, record the narration in your own voice or pick one, and post it.
From a topic to an upload
- 1
Pick a topic
Type what the video is about, or pick a format such as a tier list.
- 2
ArCut does the reading
It searches the web for the dates, names and quotes your video needs, and keeps the links.
- 3
You get a draft you can play
The script, the pictures and the timing are laid out in the editor. Change a scene, a picture or a word.
- 4
Record, render, post
Record the narration or pick a voice, render the video and send it to your channel with chapters and sources in the description.
You do the talking. ArCut builds the video around it.
Read each scene out loud or film yourself. ArCut writes down your words, cuts the retakes and the long pauses and times the pictures to what you say. Rather not record? Pick an AI voice.
Video essays that show where every picture came from.
Every picture or clip made by someone else is credited with a link, and the sources list is written into your YouTube description for you.
Two formats to start from
- Essay
- A script told in parts. Each part becomes a chapter on YouTube.
- Tier list
- Items ranked from the top tier to the bottom, one chapter for each.
Got a long stream?
A 3-hour session, cut to a 20-minute YouTube video.
