How is Cutroom different from a freelance editor or agency?

You get account-managed post with a fixed scope report, round count, and format matrix up front. Game studios get editors who understand capture specs and store deliverables; founder-led teams get sales-ready cuts from messy footage, not cinematic reels that miss the buyer.

What do you need to start?

A footage link or drive access (NDA-ready), your deadline, and the platforms you need exports for. That is enough for the Cut Scope Report within 72 hours.

Can you work with our Audio Foundry stems?

Yes. Picture lock can be timed to delivered audio stems. Mention audio handoff in the intake and we will coordinate the checklist between divisions.

Which formats and platforms do you deliver?

Store trailers, console and Steam specs, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, paid ad variants, and internal LMS exports. The Cut Scope Report lists every derivative before editing starts.

What happens after picture lock?

You receive the master plus the full export pack for every format in scope. Many clients roll into a campaign retainer for ongoing clips instead of re-briefing from zero.

00 / CUTROOM

Launch-ready signal from the footage you already have.

Q: What kind of video work does Cutroom take?

Post-production and finishing: trailers, social cuts, founder video, case studies, ads, and product demos. We edit and export; we do not run full production shoots.

01 / THE PAIN

When this becomes painful

Next Fest, launch week, or a campaign start is on the calendar. You have capture: gameplay dumps, screen recordings, founder Looms, webinar files. But no cut that sells the loop, lands the store page, or closes the deal.

Freelancers disappear mid-project. Agencies deliver one hero file and vanish when you need nine platform variants. Every new editor re-learns your brand from scratch while the deadline does not move.

05 / PROOF

Editorial finish, not a freelancer marketplace

Relevant work shared on the triage call when it matches your deliverables and deadline; we'd rather show cuts that fit your format matrix than a generic showreel.

Format matrix

One master cut → derivatives for store, social, and ads with safe zones and captions spec'd per platform

Game capture

Trailers and patch videos from gameplay dumps, milestone builds, and no-HUD variants

Founder footage

Loom, webinar, and interview raw material turned into sales-ready cuts

Round structure

Fixed revision passes and picture-lock checklist so deadlines stay honest

Cutroom is backed by post partners who finish trailers, social cuts, and founder footage under True Industries account management: scoped rounds, platform exports, and picture-lock checklists, not open-ended hourly editing.

06 / RISKS WE NAME UP FRONT

Risks / Unknowns / What we validate next

Footage organization: Unlabeled drives and missing selects burn the first round. The Cut Scope Report names what we need before editing starts.
Music & licensing: Uncleared tracks block export. We flag licensing gaps in the scope report, not at picture lock.
Review bottleneck: Edits only ship as fast as your side can review. We name that dependency and round count up front.
Capture vs delivery spec: Resolution, frame rate, and HUD variants must match platform requirements. Flagged before we commit dates.
Localization & captions: Translated overlays and subtitle timing need lead time. Scoped in the format matrix, not as a surprise add-on.
