2024 — the prototype
A blog post in, a Short out — script, voiceover and scenes generated, not just clips. Rough, but the shape of the pipeline was already there.
StudioCut.Video is a finished-video product, not a clip generator. Any input — article, URL, RSS feed, PDF or JSON batch — flows through five review-gated phases and lands as a publish-ready video, with the script, voiceover and scene-by-scene direction a production team would hand back. You sign off after every phase.
A scriptwriter, a voice artist, an editor and a project manager — replaced by one pipeline you can actually review. Marketing teams stop hiring editors. Creators stop hiring agencies. Agencies run more clients on fewer subscriptions.
Two years of compounding, in three checkpoints.
A blog post in, a Short out — script, voiceover and scenes generated, not just clips. Rough, but the shape of the pipeline was already there.
First paying customers. Five phases formalised. A human review gate after every one — Idea, Script, Voice, Scenes, Render. No silent autonomy.
Automatic vendor failover across models. 24 languages from one source. Per-call cost telemetry billed at cost. Agency-grade collaboration without enterprise pricing.
Three rules we don't bend.
No markup on AI. Margin sits on the subscription; every model call is metered and passed through at provider price. Token tables are public.
Each of the five phases stops for human approval before the next one runs. Auto-Approve is an opt-in for trusted templates — never the default.
The finished video is yours, and so is everything behind it — script, voiceover, scene plan, source files. No lock-in, no "export licence."
Since launch in 2024. Updated quarterly.
We hire engineers who ship, not engineers who plan to.
Platform veterans, ML practitioners, and video-pipeline specialists who've shipped production rendering systems before.
Former agency operators turned product designers — the people who used to do the scriptwriter / editor / PM dance by hand.
Real humans. One business day reply target. No chatbot triage, no scripted escalation tree.
