✨ Keeps the best, cuts the rest.
Auto: the let-the-AI-decide editing recipe
Auto is cutzio's default editing recipe. It works out what kind of video you filmed (talking, a conversation, a visual process or a mix), opens on the strongest moment, keeps a clear story and cuts filler and retakes. You get a Short cut and a Full cut.

Best for
- Your first project, when you're not sure which recipe fits
- Mixed footage that doesn't fit one format
- Posting fast without thinking about the edit
Skip it if
- Your video has a clear format with its own recipe, like a recipe (Cooking), a trip (Trip montage) or an interview (Q&A)
What Auto does
Auto is the "just edit it" option. You pick your clips, leave the recipe on Auto, and cutzio makes every decision itself. First it works out what kind of video you filmed, then edits it the way that kind of video works best:
- Talking to camera: opens with the strongest hook, keeps your key points and the examples that support them, and ends on your call to action if there is one.
- A conversation: keeps the funny, surprising or emotional exchanges, with the laughter and reactions.
- A visual process, like a build or a recipe: keeps the starting point, the steps and the payoff, and drops near-identical shots.
- A mix of talking and showing, like a product video: opens on the most striking shot and keeps product shots on screen long enough to see.
Every project gives you two edits: a Short cut with only the strongest moments, and a Full cut that keeps the whole story without the filler. Both come with captions and hashtags for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
When to pick another recipe
Auto is a strong default, but a recipe made for your kind of video knows its format:
- Talking to camera? Try Talk it through.
- Filmed a birthday, wedding or concert? Try Celebration.
- Cooking? Try Cooking.
- Showing a makeover or a reveal? Try Glow up or Transformation.
- Filmed an interview? Try Q&A.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Auto recipe do?
Auto lets cutzio's AI decide how to edit. It labels every moment in your clips (hook, main content, B-roll, filler, retakes), works out what kind of video it is, and builds a short cut for reach plus a longer cut that keeps the whole story.
Is Auto selected by default?
Yes. A new project starts on Auto. Swipe the recipe carousel to pick a recipe made for your kind of video instead.
Can I combine Auto with other recipes?
No. Each project uses one recipe. To steer Auto, add a note like "start with the funniest moment".
