Cut & Trim

Mistakes happen during recording — pauses, wrong clicks, loading screens. The Cut Tool lets you remove unwanted sections without re-recording, and Smart Auto-Cut handles the most common issues automatically.

Smart Auto-Cut

When you create a new project, Tutorial AI prompts you to apply automatic enhancements.

Smart Auto-Cut is enabled by default. It analyzes your recording and automatically:

• Trims sections where the mouse is idle
• Removes loading screens and pauses
• Eliminates dead space where nothing happens

This creates a smoother, more natural flow without manual effort. For best results, start with Auto-Cut and then fine-tune with manual cuts.

Manual Cut Tool

For precise control, use the Cut Tool to remove specific sections:

Step 1: Open the Cut Tool

• Navigate to the part of your video where you want to make edits
• Click the Cut icon in the toolbar
• A detailed timeline editor appears

Step 2: Zoom in for precision

• Use the zoom slider or pinch-zoom gesture (on touch devices) to get a closer look at your timeline
• Swipe to move your timeline left or right
• This helps you edit smaller, more precise segments

Step 3: Remove unwanted segments

1. Position your cursor at the starting point of the segment you want to remove
2. Press Shift + Click to mark the beginning of the cut
3. Adjust the boundaries of the cut area by dragging the edges

Tip

You can repeat these actions to remove multiple segments in the same session.

Step 4: Preview your edits

Press Space (or use the play button) on the timeline to preview how your video looks with the sections removed.

Step 5: Complete the edit

Your changes are saved automatically. Exit the Cut Tool or click on Video Preview to finalize.

Recommended workflow

1. Start with Smart Auto-Cut — let AI handle idle time, pauses, and loading screens
2. Review the result — play through the video to check for remaining issues
3. Fine-tune with the Cut Tool — manually trim anything Auto-Cut missed
4. Preview — always preview before finalizing
