  • Live Cut enables multicam-workflow for up to 16 cameras, dramatically reducing production time by eliminating many time-consuming production processes.
  • Live Cut centralizes ingest, metadata logging and take handling.
  • Live Cut records an EDL (Edit Decision List) based on trigger information from a hardware or software switcher. This EDL can then be used as a multi-camera sequence in an NLE of your choice.
  • Live Cut currently works with Apple Final Cut Pro 7/X, Adobe Premiere Pro and Edius.
  • Trimming, re-editing and slip & slide operations are available a few seconds after the recording has finished.

Setting up your Live Cut System

A Live Cut system consists of two main components: 

  • The Just In Engine for the native video ingest process.
  • The Just In User Interface (of which Live Cut is part of) which handles the native ingest process.

We assume a basic level of IT knowledge and experience.


Single or Multi-System Setups

  • Single System Setup: Just In Engine and the Just In User Interface run on the same machine. This is good for simple setups where the number of video streams is low.
  • Multi-System Setup: Just In Engine and the Just In User Interface run on different machines. Editing on the machine running the Just In User Interface is still possible. This is good for setups with many video streams.
