# StudioCut.Video

> An AI-powered video production platform that turns articles, URLs, RSS feeds, PDFs, JSON, or topic prompts into publish-ready videos for YouTube long-form, Shorts, Reels, TikTok, and Stories. A five-phase pipeline (Planning → Asset Creation → Visual Direction → Rendering → Publishing Prep) pauses at human review gates after each phase, or runs end-to-end via Auto-Approve. Ships 24 languages, three aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 1:1), 16+ visual styles plus a custom style builder, brand kits, team workspaces, agency and white-label modes, immutable AI cost telemetry, and bring-your-own AI keys with vendor failover. Current shipping version: v19.0.7.9.9.
