A ADITORcutter Gen Editor ↗ ready
[ Aditor cutter ]

Cut the ad, keep the taste.

Hand it the card and a folder of b-roll. It gives you back an editable CapCut project with the pauses out, the captions word for word from the script, and the three hooks ready to rearrange.

Signing in

Nothing to set up and no password to remember. You already have an Aditor login - that is the one this uses. Sign in at Gen Editor as you always do and click Cutter; it knows who you are from there.

What runs where

Your footage is on a drive plugged into your laptop, and a CapCut project can only be written into CapCut's own folder on that laptop. No web page can reach either. So the cutting runs on your Mac, and this page does the part that has to be shared.

this page

The shared half

  • Picks the shots, and says why
  • Holds the client rules
  • Holds Aditor's key, so you never need one
your mac

Video Studio

  • Reads the drive
  • Transcribes, free, on your laptop
  • Writes the CapCut project

What crosses between them: the script, some file names, and one small still per clip - because something that cannot see the footage cannot choose a shot. Small stills, never the video files.

Setting it up, once

  1. Install Video Studio - double-click Install video studio.command. It tells you if anything on your Mac is still missing.
  2. Make a folder in ~/Desktop/Video Jobs with the script, the recording and the b-roll.
  3. Double-click Cut a video. It shows you the plan before it writes anything.

What it costs

Transcribing is free and runs on your laptop. Describing a folder of b-roll is about five cents, once per folder, and is remembered. Planning a video is sixteen to nineteen cents. Billed to Aditor, not to you.


The cut, the captions and the CapCut writing all run on your own machine. This page only chooses the shots and remembers the rules.
