What is CutKarma, and how does it work?

CutKarma is an AI video editor that works on footage you already shot rather than generating new scenes. You upload recordings such as interviews or podcasts, describe the edit in plain language, and review the proposed cut before it goes onto the timeline. The site describes finding key moments in long conversations and producing vertical cuts for Reels or Shorts. Access is currently invite-only and starts with a demo call.
