All the following chapters assume that you are running a properly configured Just In Mac Pro 2026 setup. If this is not the case, please refer to the related Just In Mac Pro 2026 documentation.
live:cut Projects
Create a live:cut Project
Open Just Control and select the desired Channels for your live:cut Project and open the Inspector. You need to select at least two Channels. Select a Timecode Source and a Capture- and Destination-Preset. It is mandatory that these attributes are synchronized for all Channels used with live:cut.
Go to the menu “Channel → New live:cut Project”. Enter a “Name”, “Scene” and “Take” value for the live:cut project. A Project Template is not required at this time. Press the “Create” button when you are done.
The live:cut interface will be shown within Just Control and you can start working with your live:cut Project.
Close a live:cut Project
Go to the menu “File → Close Project”. The live: cut project will be closed, and the Just Control interface will reappear.
Open an existing live:cut Project
Open the folder “~/Documents/LiveCut Documents/Projects” and double-click the Project file (*.lcproj) you would like to open.
live:cut opens the Project and displays a completed EDL. You may export the Project again by using the menu “Project → Export to …”
live:cut Project Templates
Create a live:cut Project Template
Please ensure that you are within a live:cut Project. To open a previously saved live:cut Project refer to the instructions above. Go to the menu “Project → Create Template”.
Enter a Template name and press the “Save” button. Project Templates can be used upon every new live:cut Project start.
Use a live:cut Project Template
Open Just Control, select the Channels, you want to use, and start a new live:cut Project (Go to the menu “File → New live:cut Project”).
Select your “Project Template” from the drop-down menu and use the “Create” button to start the live:cut project.
