Welcome to CutReady
What is CutReady?
Section titled “What is CutReady?”CutReady is a desktop application for producing demo videos. It provides a structured workflow that takes you from initial planning sketches through AI-assisted editing and automated browser recording to polished video output — all in a single tool.
The core idea: instead of screen-recording a live demo (and hoping nothing goes wrong), you plan the demo as a storyboard, record the interactions once, then replay them perfectly every time for flawless video capture.
