What counts as an edit?
An edit is one automatic cut of a new project: you drop in footage and Cutroom AI makes the first cut. Everything you change inside the editor after that is free.

What uses an edit
Starting a new project from your clips uses one edit, whether it is one recording or a pile of takes of the same script.
A batch uses one edit per video. If you turn on “Cut each file as its own video” and drop in four files, that is four edits, and the Projects page tells you if you have fewer left than files picked.
Adding more footage to an existing project with “Add footage” cuts the edit again, so it also counts as one edit. The editor asks before it does this.
What is free
Anything inside the editor: changing pacing, restoring a word, swapping a take with “Use this take”, editing captions, changing the format, adding overlays, undo and redo, and exporting again.
The sample project at /analyze/sample opens a finished sample without using an edit, so you can try every tab before you spend one.
How many you get
Free gives 3 edits a month, Starter 60 and Pro 150. An edit pack adds 10 for $4.99. There is no unlimited plan.
The app shows how many automatic edits you have left this month. When they run out, the import says so and links to the plans, and the projects you already have still open and export. Checkout is not connected yet, so choosing a plan is a test switch for now.

The editor opens in your browser with no account, and the sample project doesn't use an edit.
