Your catalog is a vertical feed.<br>It just hasn’t been cut yet.<br>Talecut is an AI editor for footage you already own. Give it a movie or a full TV episode; it watches the whole thing, follows whoever is on screen, and hands back vertical video that is ready to post. You choose how much of the story comes with it.<br>Start a micro-dramaMake it vertical

The editor<br>The first cut is Talecut’s. The final cut is yours.<br>Open an episode and take over. Move the framing, tighten a caption, cut a line, then re-render only what you touched.

Pause<br>The editor on a real cut of Meridian, reframing a shot and tightening a caption.

Aim the crop yourself<br>Talecut tracks whoever is speaking. Take any shot off auto and the frame goes where you point it.

Fix a line, keep the timing<br>Captions open as a document you can read straight through. Change the words; the clock stays as spoken.

Hand the frame to a character<br>When a shot has more than one person, click the one who matters. The camera follows them through the shot with the same smoothed pan as the auto cut.

The tools<br>One upload. You pick what comes out.<br>Every tool takes one video and gives back something you can post. What changes is how much of the story comes with it.

Questions<br>What everyone asks first.<br>Something we didn’t answer? Write to us.

Do I need to know how to edit?+No. Talecut cuts first: episodes, framing, captions, all of it. When you want a say, every episode opens in an editor where you can move the framing, rewrite a caption, or drop a take, then re-render only what you changed.

What can I upload?+One long video you own the rights to, like a movie or a full episode, up to 16 GB. Talecut watches all of it before it decides anything.

How does it choose what makes the cut?+It reads the whole story first: scenes, dialogue, pacing. Then it keeps the moments that carry the plot and shapes them into episodes, each one ending on a hook the next picks up. The full-length vertical skips the choosing and keeps every frame of the original.

Will it cut someone off mid-sentence?+No. Every edit lands in a real gap in the speech, and Talecut reads the soundtrack too, so a cut does not land on top of a music swell.

What does it cost?+The length of your video and nothing else. One credit is one minute of source, and you see the full price before anything runs. If your balance does not cover it, nothing runs and nothing is charged.

What if a run fails?+Your credits come back in full, automatically.

Where can I post the result?+Anywhere that wants vertical video. Episodes arrive as 9:16 files with captions burned in and loudness levelled, so TikTok, Reels and Shorts take them as they are, nothing to re-export.
