I just felt like I was so addicted to this kind of false version of my life that it was just taking over. And the thing that really upset me is the press ran with that. They were saying, oh look, he's not the perfect happy-go-lucky kid you think he is. He's having a nervous breakdown in New York. If I was having a mental breakdown, that's not for you to report on. They took the story in the wrong direction and they kind of painted people looking for help in the wrong light.

×4.8sThe best-selling author and host. The number one health and wellness podcast. On purpose with Jay Shetty. A 1.6s gap lot of studies show that how we were loved or unloved between the ages of zero to five impact the next 15, 25, 50 years of our life and how we give love to ourselves and how we give love to others.

And so I was thinking, do you have a core memory or an experience with your family from childhood that kind of embodies the feeling you have about them now or that keeps you tied close to them?

0:57

I'd say sort of more than a memory is just a feeling that we, I can say all of my brothers and I had was that because our dad's a comedian, his job only ever existed once we had gone to bed. And our mum worked from home. She was a photographer. So to us as kids, our parents didn't really work. They just were always home. So we had this amazing foundation where no matter any time of the day, either mum or dad would be at the house.

Questions before your first edit

Editing

Cutwords turns your video into a timed transcript. Delete words, sentences, or pauses in the text and the matching video is cut automatically. You can still refine the result in the visual editor.

Yes. Leave the first pass to Cutwords while you step away. The agent builds a rough cut, removes filler words, dead air, bad takes and repeated lines, creates chapters and captions, generates relevant B-roll, and improves the opening. Every decision stays editable.

No. It removes the repetitive first pass. Editors move faster through the parts that need judgement, and creators and marketers can produce a solid cut without starting from a complex timeline.

Clips, review and hand-off

Upload or link a long-form video and Cutwords reads the transcript for strong standalone moments. It creates editable clips for vertical, square and widescreen, with captions and styling.

Pacing, unclear structure, visual continuity, audio quality and distracting moments. Findings come back timecoded, so your team can fix them before the cut is shared.

Yes. Share a secure review link. Clients watch, leave timecoded comments, draw on frames, compare versions and approve, all from one focused page.

Yes. Download the clean rendered cut and carry on wherever you like. Cutwords also exports timecoded review markers as OTIO for Resolve and FCPXML for Final Cut Pro.

Yes. Cutwords exposes your projects and transcripts through a secure MCP connector. Connect it to Claude or a supported ChatGPT workspace and use the AI subscription you already pay for to explore content and plan edits. Final edit decisions stay in Cutwords.

Plans and billing

Yes. The Free plan covers up to three people and includes the transcript editor, review links, 10 GB of storage and 200 AI credits a month. Pro and Scale add a 14-day trial for higher AI and production volume.

It totals public US list prices checked July 29, 2026: a freelance editor from $400 a month for four long-form edits, Descript Creator at $35, OpusClip Pro at $29, Frame.io Pro at $15, Higgsfield Plus from $29, CapCut Pro at $19.99, and Adobe Premiere at $22.99 on an annual plan billed monthly. That is $550.98 a month against $8 for Cutwords Pro: an illustrative $542.98 a month, or $6,515.76 a year, before taxes, promotions, extra credits, storage or seats. The products and plans are not feature-for-feature identical.
