Know exactly where
your time goes.
Passive time tracking for post-production teams. See what your editors are working on, in real time, without interrupting their flow.
I'm an editor →the blind spot
Manual time entry asks editors to remember. They don't.
Hours come back guessed at the end of the week — when they come back at all. Cut Time auto-detects what project they're on in Resolve, Premiere, Final Cut, and After Effects, so the numbers are right without anyone having to remember.
the interruption tax
Half your day is "what's getting done?" Half theirs is "what should I be doing?"
Status updates eat both sides. Cut Time gives you and your editors the same live dashboard — you see project hours and progress without asking; they see what's expected without being interrupted.
the billing gap
You quoted 40 hours. It took 62. Your margin walks away.
Every project Cut Time tracks builds your historical baseline. Quote the next one from real data instead of gut feel — and know which clients are actually profitable before you sign.
How it works
Invite your team.
Each editor gets a unique link to install the desktop app. They paste, open their project, and they're in — no account, no training, no IT.
Assign tasks.
Plan the week on a shared calendar. Create tasks, assign an editor, set the client and due date. They see it the moment they open the app.
Watch them work.
See who's editing what, live. Status updates itself. Projects that need attention light up on the calendar. Real presence, not Slack check-ins.
Know before your clients do.
Your dashboard flags over-budget projects, surfaces utilization trends, and gives you the real numbers when a rate conversation comes up.
