For teachers and classes

Lesson videos, planned and cut in an afternoon

Storyboard the lesson, film it with the script on screen, and get a rough cut without hours of editing. It runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install.

No credit card. Your footage stays on your computer.

  1. Hooktarget 0:15

    • You've saved hundreds of notes. When did you last use one?

    • Your second brain isn't broken. It's a filing cabinet.

  2. Problemtarget 0:30

    • Collecting feels like progress, so we keep collecting.

    • But nothing comes back out: no essays, no videos, no decisions.

    • And every note you add makes the old ones harder to find.

  3. Fixtarget 0:35

    • So start from what you want to make, not what you might need.

    • Once a week, turn a handful of notes into one draft.

    • Keep the notes that made it in. Archive the rest.

    • Fewer notes, more finished work. Try it this week.

Your footage never leaves your computer

StoryCut keeps your project: the Storyboard, your notes, which takes you kept and where they go. Your video files stay on your computer, and transcription runs in your browser. There's nothing to upload, no upload to wait for, and no storage limit.

A process you can teach

  1. 1
    Storyboard

    Break the lesson into sections and story panels: what to say, and what to show.

  2. 2
    Film

    Film with the teleprompter, and mark the takes worth keeping as you go.

  3. 3
    Review

    Watch the keepers back and see what's still missing.

  4. 4
    Rough cut

    The lesson plays in order, and reordering it takes a drag.

  5. 5
    Your editor

    Finish it in a free editor such as DaVinci Resolve.

Start from an example

The sample project “Why second brains fail” is a short explainer, already storyboarded: a hook, the problem and the fix.

  • A lesson's shape, ready to change into yours
  • Sketches for what to show, words for what to say
  • A to-do list of what's left

What a classroom needs

  • Footage stays on your computer

    StoryCut keeps your project, never your video. Nothing to upload, and no storage limits.

  • A Storyboard

    Plan the video as story panels of words and sketches, in sections with target lengths.

  • A teleprompter

    The Studio shows each line as you film it.

  • See what's left

    StoryCut works out what's left to film, review and place, so the video gets finished.

  • Made for small teams

    Projects belong to an organization, and each member has a role.

  • Captions

    Captions come from your rough cut, ready to export as SubRip or WebVTT.

  • Transcription on your device

    Every take is transcribed in your browser, and live while you film.

  • Export to your editor

    Open your rough cut in Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro, free.

Questions

  • Do students need to install anything?

    No. StoryCut runs in the browser. Students film with their laptop's camera, or on a phone or camera while the laptop marks the takes.

  • Is my footage uploaded?

    Never. StoryCut stores your project, not your video. The files stay on your computer, and you point StoryCut at them when you review and export.

  • Can a class work together?

    Projects belong to an organization, and each member has a role, so a class can share its projects.

  • Do I still need a video editor?

    Yes, for the polish: color, sound, motion graphics. StoryCut gets you to a rough cut whose story works, then opens it in Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro with every take in place. DaVinci Resolve is free.

  • What does it cost?

    StoryCut is free to start, with unlimited projects and export to your editor. No credit card needed.
