CuttingRoom is ushering in a new era of professional video editing fully in the cloud. In an interview with VP Land at NAB Show, CuttingRoom CEO Helge Høibraaten explains how their browser-based NLE is revolutionizing video production workflows.
Key Takeaways
CuttingRoom enables editors to work directly with media from various cloud storage and MAM systems like Mimir and Iconik, eliminating the need for file transfers.
The platform offers a responsive editing experience comparable to desktop NLEs, even over 4G connections.
CuttingRoom streamlines publishing to multiple social media platforms and aspect ratios from a single timeline.
Built-in motion graphics templates automatically adapt to different aspect ratios.
Real-time collaboration allows multiple editors to work on the same project simultaneously from anywhere.
"We saw a big hole in the market there, where people were really struggling, because it used to be that you could do your productions for the 9 o'clock evening news and you have plenty of time to do it. But now we're doing it for the 9 o'clock evening news and the 5 o'clock news, but you're also doing it for your online services and you're also doing it for social media," Helge explains. "And you have to be there immediately."
CuttingRoom Reporter App
CuttingRoom also offers a mobile app called CuttingRoom Reporter that utilizes the phone's built-in AI to optimize video capture and automatically upload footage to the cloud for immediate editing. This enabled The New York Times to rapidly publish content from the Oscars red carpet, beating competitors.
Looking ahead, Helge believes the transition to fully cloud-based workflows is inevitable. "Technologically, it's possible to do almost anything in the cloud right now," he says. "But culturally, are we ready for it?"
With its comprehensive feature set and integrations with leading MAM systems, CuttingRoom is poised to lead the industry's shift to the cloud. The platform opens up new possibilities for small teams and large organizations alike to collaborate and rapidly deliver content optimized for modern distribution.
