Shoot

The camera

Cuts has its own camera, built for talking to a phone:

  • Segments — record in takes; they land on a strip, in order. Stop, breathe, keep going.
  • Front or rear — with flash and torch where the hardware has them.
  • Record delay — 0, 3, or 10 seconds to get into position.
  • Quality panel — up to 4K.

The teleprompter

The camera has a teleprompter overlay: your script scrolls over the lens while you read. It auto-scrolls, you can edit it in place, and Cuts can write it for you — ask for a script in chat and it arrives in the prompter. See Cuts, the agent.

The voice recorder

For voiceovers: a live waveform, the teleprompter, and on-device noise cleanup before the recording lands on your speech track. More in Speech & captions.

Importing

Bring footage from your Photos library, and audio from Files — formats in Music.

Permissions

Cuts asks for access when you first need it, not at the door:

  • Camera — to record video for your project.
  • Microphone — to record audio with your video.
  • Photos (add only) — to save your exported videos. Importing goes through the system picker, so Cuts never needs access to your whole library.
  • Notifications — only if you ask Cuts to follow up. See The plan.
