How it works

Three steps from switcher to timeline.

Three steps from switcher to timeline.

01

Connect your switcher.

LiveCut listens to tally over the network — Ross Carbonite, For.A, or Blackmagic ATEM. No extra hardware on the program path.

02

Run your show.

Every program cut is logged live with frame-accurate timecode. Drop markers from the app, phone, or Stream Deck.

03

Export the edit.

Assign each camera’s clip, hit export, and open a frame-accurate multicam timeline in Resolve & Final Cut Pro and a flat program cut in Premiere Pro.

No paper logs, no scrubbing through hours of footage — and every edge case already handled. The cut holds up before the editor sits down.

Frame-accurate

Every cut resolves back to its exact source timecode — verified to zero-frame error.

Any camera format

BRAW, ProRes, RED R3D, Sony/ARRI MXF, ARRIRAW, MP4 — mix resolutions and codecs freely.

Reference audio that never drops

Assign a clean board feed as main audio. It plays continuously under every cut.

Nothing falls through

A cut to a camera with no footage becomes a timed placeholder, not a gap.

Local-only, no cloud

Everything runs on your Mac and your network. No accounts, no uploads, no subscription.

For post teams

Start with a ready-to-edit cut instead of rebuilding the live show by hand.

For editors

Open the cut in Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or Premiere with timing and markers already in place. Premiere’s cut program is a flat cut list, not a live switchable multicam clip.

Questions? Answers.

Questions? Answers.

Do I need extra hardware?

No. LiveCut listens to your switcher’s existing tally over the network. For timecode it reads MIDI MTC or audio LTC.

Which switchers are supported?

Ross Carbonite, For.A generic TSL, and Blackmagic ATEM over the network.

Which editors can I export to?

Resolve and Final Cut Pro take FCPXML. Premiere can’t read FCPXML, so LiveCut writes it a legacy FCP7 XML instead. The cut program is a flat cut list, not a live switchable multicam clip.

What camera formats work?

Any — BRAW, ProRes, RED R3D, Sony/ARRI MXF, ARRIRAW, MP4. Mix resolutions and codecs in one timeline.

Is my footage uploaded anywhere?

No. LiveCut is local-only. It runs on your Mac and your network — no cloud, no accounts.
