AutocutsAdd one at the playhead
Move to the exact moment, choose a graphic, write the content, and adjust the format or theme. This route does not need transcript analysis.
New in the Autocuts editor
Add motion graphics to screen recordings
Turn an important line into an editable lower third, stat, callout, quote, list, or highlight without leaving the Mac screen recorder and video editor.
Graphics that explain
Match the graphic to the point
Use a lower third for a person or section, a stat for a number, a callout for an important detail, a quote for a memorable line, a list for a sequence, or a highlight for a short emphasis.
- Lower third and corner card
- Quote band and side panel
- Full-screen graphic for a major transition
- Editable content, timing, format, and theme
Two ways to add a graphic
Generate suggestions from speech
After transcription, select Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or Cursor CLI. The agent reads the narration timing and proposes moments that support what is being said.
Review before export
Keep, edit, move, restyle, or delete each item on the timeline. Autocuts never requires you to accept every suggestion.
What is required for generated suggestions?
The recording needs a transcript and one of the supported coding-agent command-line tools installed on the Mac. Autocuts currently supports Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor CLI. Manual graphic placement remains available separately.
When you generate suggestions, the selected agent receives the narration text and word timing needed to propose graphics. Whether that text is processed locally or by an online service depends on the agent and account you selected. The recording video itself is not sent to the coding agent.
Why use motion graphics in a product demo?
A screen recording shows the action. A concise graphic can preserve the number, name the feature, introduce the speaker, or summarize the result while the interface keeps moving. The best graphics clarify a point instead of decorating every sentence.
Can motion graphics be edited?
Yes. They are timeline items, so you can change the words, start and end time, graphic kind, layout format, and visual theme. Pair them with automatic zoom, captions and transcript cleanup, and the rest of the Mac video editor.
What motion graphics can Autocuts add?
Autocuts supports lower thirds, stats, callouts, quotes, lists, and highlights in corner-card, quote-band, side-panel, lower-third, and full-screen formats.
Does Autocuts add motion graphics automatically?
You can add a graphic manually at the playhead. Or use Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or Cursor CLI to suggest graphic moments from a transcript. Every suggestion remains reviewable and editable.
Do I need After Effects or animation keyframes?
No. Autocuts creates the graphic as an editable timeline item with its own words, timing, format, and visual theme.
Record the idea. Make the key moment visible.
