What is UGCut?

UGCut is an iPhone video editor for UGC creators that connects creator-written scenes, recording, take selection, editable captions and export in one flow.

UGCut brings script planning, recording and editing together on your iPhone. Write or paste your script and UGCut splits it into sentences you can tag Hook, Body, and CTA. Read it once with the speech-following teleprompter. Flub a line and a single gesture re-records just that sentence. UGCut auto-cuts the take per sentence, adds animated captions in your choice of 8 styles, and exports presets sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts with a safe-zone preview. Every cut is anchored to a sentence in your script, so editing is as easy as editing text. Editing runs on-device on iOS 26+. Some online features are coming soon; project sharing and portfolio upload have separate data flows described in the privacy policy. No account is required to record, cut, caption, and export. The free tier keeps the entire core loop; Pro removes the watermark, unlocks 4K, and adds all 8 caption styles.

Video Script Editor with Auto-Segmentation

Write or paste a script and UGCut splits it into sentences you can tag Hook, Body, and CTA. Start from a template or a blank page.

Auto-Cut Video, One Cut Per Sentence

UGCut cuts your take into clips per sentence automatically, anchored to your script, with no scrubbing and no manual trim points.

Takes Review & Re-Record

Every sentence keeps its takes. Review by script line, pick the best, or re-record a single sentence without touching the rest.

FAQ

How is UGCut different from CapCut?

CapCut starts from footage and gives you a freeform timeline, so a talking-head ad can mean 45–90 minutes of scrubbing. UGCut starts from your script. Every cut is anchored to a sentence, so UGCut auto-cuts the take per sentence and you edit by editing text, not by dragging clips. The editor cuts the take by sentence without manual timeline work. There is also a rights angle: CapCut’s terms grant a perpetual licence over content edited through it, so some brands now ask creators not to edit in CapCut. Editing happens on your iPhone. You choose what to send online.

What does "script-first" actually mean?

You write or paste a script and UGCut splits it into sentences. You read it with the teleprompter, and every downstream piece (clips, takes, cut points, captions, retakes) is tied to a sentence in that script. Flubbed sentence 7? Re-record just sentence 7. Need a different hook? Swap that one line. Nothing else on mobile works this way.

Does my video ever leave my iPhone?

Editing happens on your iPhone. Some online features are coming soon. If you choose portfolio upload when it is available, UGCut receives the selected video, including embedded sound, plus security and technical verification metadata. Scheduled posting is in internal testing. When you schedule a post there, UGCut stores your video and caption and sends them to the platform you chose at the scheduled time. In internal posting tests, the UGCut server sends completed-transaction purchase history to RevenueCat under an account-specific customer ID for subscription functionality and analytics. UGCut can link that ID to your UGCut account, and RevenueCat does not receive creator content from UGCut. Builds without the internal test send no purchase receipts.

Do I need an account to use UGCut?

No. You can write, record, auto-cut, caption, and export without signing in. Purchases and restores will use your Apple ID through the App Store. Online features will require a UGCut account when they launch.

How does the teleprompter work?

UGCut’s teleprompter follows your voice as you read, so the script scrolls at your pace, not a fixed speed. The current sentence is highlighted; neighbor lines dim so you can anticipate. If you flub a line, a single gesture re-records just that sentence instead of the whole take.

What’s free and what’s Pro?

Free keeps the entire core loop (script editor, teleprompter, auto-cut, captions, and export) plus 3 caption styles and up to 1080p, with a small UGCut watermark. Pro removes the watermark, unlocks 4K export, and adds all 8 caption styles. The magic loop is never gated. Marketplace applications, the full course and direct publishing will require Pro when they launch. Yes, free desktop editors like DaVinci Resolve exist with no watermark; UGCut’s bet is the part they can’t match: the script-first workflow and finished, captioned videos on your phone.

How much does Pro cost?

Planned launch pricing is €12.99 per month or €79.99 per year. These are planned prices. The App Store will show your local price before purchase. There is no lifetime plan. The free tier already covers the core editing loop.

Which platforms can I export for?

UGCut exports portrait-first presets sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, with a safe-zone preview so your captions and key moments clear each platform’s on-screen UI. Free exports up to 1080p; Pro unlocks 4K.

Privacy

UGCut keeps editing on your iPhone. Some online features are coming soon; project sharing and portfolio upload have separate data flows described in the privacy policy. Scheduled posting is in internal testing and not available to the public. In those tests, the UGCut server sends completed-transaction purchase history to RevenueCat under an account-specific customer ID, and UGCut can link that ID to your UGCut account. The app does not include the RevenueCat SDK. No account is required to write, record, cut, caption, and export.
