Cutsio
A video intelligence platform that indexes every frame of your footage so your team can search a huge library the way you'd search the web, instead of scrubbing timelines.

Description
If you've ever spent an afternoon scrubbing through hours of raw footage trying to find the one shot with someone wearing a red jacket, or the exact line where a client said "yes" in a recorded call, you already know the real cost of video production isn't shooting — it's finding things afterward. Cutsio tries to remove that afternoon entirely by turning your video library into something you can search like a website, typing what you're looking for instead of dragging a playhead.
Under the hood, Cutsio ingests footage and indexes it by visual content, spoken dialogue, objects and scenes, then layers automatic transcription with speaker diarization on top. Teams can build shareable Collections, export cut lists as FCPXML/EDL straight into Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve, invite clients via guest upload links, and even sell footage directly through a built-in, commission-free licensing portfolio. It supports professional codecs (ProRes, DNxHD/DNxHR, XAVC, HEVC) and RAW workflows on the Enterprise tier, aimed at production teams, post houses, documentary editors and even niche verticals like insurance-claim or drone footage review.
💬 Our review
The short version: Cutsio's core bet — that most of the pain in video work is retrieval, not editing — is a real and underserved problem, and the frame-level search plus FCPXML export make it genuinely useful for any team sitting on more footage than they can mentally index.
Pricing starts at $59/month for just 2 users and 300 indexed minutes, which is steep next to generic cloud storage but reasonable against dedicated media-asset-management tools; the jump to Studio ($249/mo) and Enterprise ($999/mo) tracks team size more than raw functionality. A rough edge at review time: the dedicated pricing page 404s, so the numbers only live on the homepage — worth double-checking before you commit. The honest alternative is Frame.io for teams that already live in Adobe's ecosystem and want review-and-approve workflows more than deep search, or Descript if you're a solo creator who wants editing and transcription in the same tool rather than a pure search layer on top of your existing footage. Cutsio's edge is scale: it's built for libraries too big to scrub, not for cutting a single video faster.
