About Cutback
Reimagining the tools
behind every story
Did you watch something on YouTube today?
Chances are, yes.
Every 24 hours, people around the world collectively watch over a billion hours of video.
A billion!
And that’s just YouTube. Add Netflix, Apple TV+, TikTok…
But here’s the part we rarely think about:
for every finished hour of video we watch, there are roughly ten hours hiding behind it. Syncing clips. Sorting files. Cutting, trimming, revising.
The invisible labor that turns chaos into clarity.
Alternatives popped up, quick mobile apps, AI generated videos, but still the craft and authenticity remains stubbornly hard.
And so edit backlogs piled up. Hard drives filled. Brilliant projects stalled, waiting for someone (anyone!) to find the time.
That’s where Cutback comes in.
We want to bring back the joy of editing.
Selects takes the first shift. In minutes, it handles the prep: syncing, transcripts, footage organization, even pre-selects.
Premiere Assistant steps in, automating the repetitive edits inside Premiere Pro: cuts, trims, captions and animations.
With thousands of editors and creators already shaping the future with us, Cutback is expanding the workflow even further.
Our goal? Strip away the grind so creative minds can wander, experiment, and actually tell the stories they set out to tell.
How we work
Be Extraordinary
“Good” isn’t our goal. Breakthrough impact is. We push past comfort, challenge assumptions, and pursue results that set new standards.
Keep It Simple
Simple scales, complexity doesn’t. We design products, processes, and teams that are clean, clear, and focused. We remove unnecessary complexity to stay agile and concentrate on what matters most.
Own It
We make informed decisions by deeply understanding the context. We take responsibility for outcomes, positive or negative. We share context openly so that everyone can stay aligned and move fast.
Integrity Always
We speak the truth with respect. We debate with candor and curiosity, then fully commit once a decision is made. We act with integrity, especially when it’s hard.
We’re a team of ex- Engineers, Product lead, Head of UX from leading tech companies, that loves building great products.
