Feature

Read your script, record your takes, get the edit

Open /record, paste what you plan to say and press record. The script scrolls at your reading speed while the camera rolls, and when you finish, the takes go straight into a best-take edit.

What the recorder does

The recorder is a teleprompter and a camera in one browser tab. Each sentence of your script gets its own line, and the card scrolls at about 155 words a minute at 1x. Tap the speed to step between 0.75x and 1.5x until it matches how you talk. The script sheet shows how many lines you have and roughly how long they'll take at the current speed.

You record in takes. Stop between attempts and each one is saved separately as Take 1, Take 2 and so on. Watch any take back before you move on, delete one you know is bad, and keep going. If the tab reloads by accident, your takes are still there when it opens.

Settings worth knowing

  • Speed: 0.75x to 1.5x. Start at 1x, and slow down for a script full of numbers or names.
  • Take length: 60 s, 3 min, 10 min or no limit.
  • Text size: small, medium or large, so you can read from farther back.
  • Back one line and next line, for when you skip ahead or want to restart a line.
  • Switch camera and a light toggle, on devices that have them.

How to use it

  1. 01Open /record in current Chrome, Edge, Arc or Safari 26 and allow the camera and microphone.
  2. 02Press "Add a script", paste or type what you'll say and press Done.
  3. 03Set the speed and press "Start recording". Read through and stop at the end.
  4. 04Pause between takes. If a line goes wrong, stop, then start a new take from that line or from the top.
  5. 05Press Done, then "Edit these takes". The takes open as one project, every line is matched across them, and the best take of each is kept.
  6. 06Check the Best takes panel in the Cuts tab, swap any line you'd pick differently, and export.

Why reading speed matters

On camera it's easy to rush. If the script runs ahead of you, you speed up and stumble. If it lags, you stop mid-sentence waiting for the next line, and the takes fill with gaps. The best take picker treats 2 to 4 words a second as a natural pace, and 155 words a minute sits inside that range, so 1x is a sensible place to start.

What it won't do

It doesn't record your screen. For a software walkthrough you need a separate screen recorder.

It can't fix eye contact. Your eyes follow the script, so put the browser window close to the lens and keep the text near the top of the screen.

It isn't a phone app. The Cutroom AI phone app is still in progress and not released.

It doesn't record a remote guest. It's one camera, on the device you're using.

Takes are stored in the browser until you edit them, and video takes room: about 60 MB a minute. The recorder warns you when the browser is running low.

When another approach is better

If you talk better from bullet points than from a full script, write only the points. Each still gets its own line, and the best take picker matches whatever wording repeats across takes. If your wording changes a lot each time, film one good take and let the pause and filler cleanup do the rest.

Questions

How fast does the script scroll?

About 155 words a minute at 1x. You can set anything from 0.75x to 1.5x.

What happens if my browser tab reloads?

The takes you already recorded are kept, and the recorder tells you they're still there when it opens again.

Does the recording upload?

No. Takes are saved in your browser and edited on your device.

Can I record without a script?

Yes. Skip the script and record takes as usual. They still go into the best-take edit.
