Documentary-style video essays, in your own voice.
Start from a topic. You get a researched script with a picture for each scene. Change any of it, record it scene by scene, and upload it with chapters.

From a topic to an upload
- 1
Type a topic
A question, a story or a list to rank. Add notes if you already know the angle.
- 2
Get a draft you can play
The script, the pictures and the timing, laid out in the editor. Each fact keeps the link to its source.
- 3
Make it yours
Change a line or a picture, then read each scene in your own voice.
- 4
Upload it
Render the video and send it to YouTube with chapters and credits in the description.
What you get
Pictures that fit the words
Real photos, page screenshots and clips, each timed to the words it goes with.
Facts with their source
The script is written from research, and each fact links to the page it came from.
Change anything
Rewrite a line, swap a picture, move the timing. Nothing is locked.
A story or a tier list
Tell it in parts or rank it S to F, in a documentary, commentary or on-camera look.
Thumbnail ideas
Get three ideas, then make the ones you like.
Your voice, without the retakes.
Record each scene, or film yourself. ArCut cuts the retakes and the long pauses and lines the pictures up with your words.
The description writes itself.
A chapter for each part, then a credit and a link for each picture made by someone else. You can change any line before you upload.
Got a long stream?
A 3-hour session, cut to a 20-minute YouTube video.
Upload a recording or import it from a Twitch, Dropbox or Google Drive link. ArCut finds the kills, the clutches and the loud reactions and builds a timeline. You approve every cut. Then download the video or publish it to your YouTube channel.
Tell Arc what to change
Arc reads your transcript and timeline, then edits the way a colleague would.
One long video, not a pile of clips
ArCut takes the dead time out of your session and keeps the story in order.
Every cut is yours
Approve, trim, split and reorder on a real timeline. ArCut does the searching; you make the calls.

Common questions
Type the topic. ArCut reads up on it, writes the script and lays out a draft in the editor, with a picture for each scene. Change what you want, record each scene, then render it and send it to your channel.
About 6 minutes with standard research, or about 11 with deep research. You pick the depth when you start.
Yes. Read each scene yourself, or film yourself. ArCut cuts the retakes and the long pauses and times the pictures to your words. If you would rather not record a scene, you can ask for an AI voice and see its price first.
Every picture in a scene is a real, found one: a photo, a page screenshot or a clip that fits the line. None is AI-painted. Each has its credit and a link to its source in your YouTube description. You can swap or add pictures in the editor.
That is YouTube's decision, and no tool can promise it. YouTube's rules are against videos that look mass-produced from a template. ArCut is built for the other kind: you choose the topic, change the script and record it in your own voice.
A story told in parts, or a tier list ranked from S to F. Pick a documentary, commentary, on-camera or gameplay-history look.
Each paid step shows its price in tokens before you press it, and a step that fails gives its tokens back. Your plan sets how many tokens you get a month: see the plans.
Upload the recording, or import it from a Twitch, Dropbox or Google Drive link. ArCut finds the kills, the clutches and the loud reactions and builds a timeline. You approve each cut, then download the video or send it to your channel.
MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV or WebM. Uploads are resumable, so a dropped connection picks up where it left off instead of starting over.
It is built for gaming recordings first. It reads the HUD, finds kills and round boundaries, and listens for hype moments. Other long footage with speech and action works too, but gaming is where it does best.
Nothing it finds is thrown away. The moments it leaves out of the edit stay with your project, and Arc puts any of them back on the timeline when you ask. There you can shorten a cut or split it anywhere.
Videos live in private cloud storage and only your account can reach them. They are deleted after 7 days on Free and after 90 days on Pro. On Studio they stay until you delete them. When a paid plan ends, its videos stay for 7 more days.
Yes. Connect your channel once, then send a finished video to it with the title, description and privacy you choose. ArCut uploads only when you ask, and you can disconnect it in Settings at any time. Our Privacy Policy explains what it stores.
With tokens. One minute of stream footage costs 6 tokens, and the Free plan includes 300 tokens a month, enough for about 50 minutes. On Free each file can be up to 500 MB. Chats with Arc use tokens too, depending on how much work they take.
Yes. Stripe handles the subscription, and you can cancel from the billing portal whenever you like. Your plan keeps working until the end of the period you paid for.
