Autocut is an automated video editing feature. It transforms recorded video content—such as webinars, interviews, and expert talks—into ready-to-publish, professionally edited Storykit videos in just a few steps.
Autocut creators use Storykit’s Editorial Intelligence to transcribe, select the most relevant spoken moments, and populate them as edited talking heads with supporting written summaries.
The creators will add a headline, context, framing, and a strong call-to-action per the creator design.
How to use Autocut
- Click on New video
- Upload your video (the video tab)
- Click on Next
- Select an Autocut Creator. Autocut creators will be recommended and specially marked. You can read about the Autocut Creators here.
- (Optional) Add User Input to specify the focus, tone, speaker/context, design preferences, corrections, or themes you want the output to emphasize.
Examples: “Focus only on sustainability points”; “Use CEO’s perspective”; “Correct product spelling to ‘Storykit’”.
Note: Asking for correct spelling and such will not affect the transcription, since that is edited through the Talking Head tool, but will affect the script writing. - Click on Next

- Click on Create Video
- Edit & Review in Storyboard (Here you can learn about editing a talking head)
