The questions people actually ask, answered first. Every answer links to the chapter with the rest.
Does Cuts work offline?
The editor and all analysis, yes — cutting, transcripts, beats, captions all run on your phone without a connection. The chat and cloud jobs need one. See The basics.
Is Cuts free?
Cuts has a real Free plan: unlimited editing, 2-minute exports (with a small watermark), full on-device analysis, AI music and voiceover, the agent for light use, and a small monthly credit allowance. Paid plans open up video and image generation, cloud backup, voice cloning, longer exports, and remove the watermark. See Credits & plans and pricing.
Is there a watermark?
On Free exports, yes — a small Ferment watermark. Any paid plan exports clean. See Export & share.
Do I own what I make with Cuts?
Yes. Your footage and everything Cuts makes for you is yours, on Free and paid plans alike — commercial use included, no license tiers. See Export & share.
Does Cuts post to my social accounts?
No. Cuts doesn’t connect to your accounts and never posts on your behalf. It plans and makes the videos; you publish them. See The plan.
Are my videos uploaded to Cuts servers?
On Free, no — analysis runs on your phone and only its compact results sync. On paid plans, cloud backup is optional and off by default. When a cloud job needs footage that isn’t backed up, Cuts uploads only the piece the job needs and deletes it after. See Your library.
What happens if a job fails?
Nothing — credits are charged only when a job succeeds. Cancel a job in flight and the reserved credits come back. See Credits & plans.
How long can an export be?
Two minutes. Cuts is built for reels and shorts, not long-form. See Export & share.
What languages does Cuts work in?
Transcription and captions: 26 languages, on the phone — European languages plus Russian. Dubbing: 23 languages. The app itself speaks English for now. See Speech & captions.
How do I move Cuts to a new phone?
Sign in with the same account — your projects come along. Media that was backed up re-downloads on demand; originals that lived only on the old phone are wherever you keep them, usually Photos. See Your library.
How do I cancel my Cuts subscription?
Cancel where you subscribed — web subscriptions in your account settings, App Store subscriptions in your Apple settings. You keep the plan until the end of what you’ve paid for, then move to Free. See Credits & plans.
Can Cuts generate video from scratch?
On paid plans, yes — clips of 4–15 seconds from words, stills, or reference footage, with the cost quoted before anything runs. You build a reel from generated moments, not generate a reel. See Generate.
Can two people edit one Cuts project?
No — projects are single-editor. See The basics.
