About Cutaway

Cutaway is a hosted tool for product teams that need launch and feature videos without hiring a motion designer. You write a plain-language brief and optionally add a product URL, screenshots, or brand files, and it builds a finished motion film that shows your real interface along with an original soundtrack.

The workflow is visible as it runs: the system studies the product, drafts a concept, designs and animates every shot, composes the sound, and reviews its own renders. You then request changes in plain language and download the MP4 or share a link. The site shows examples for product launches, feature announcements, and app showcases in several formats. A launch offer on the site lists an Intro plan at $19 for a first product video.
