FAQ
Questions, answered
Is Cutlab affiliated with CapCut?
No. Cutlab is an independent project. CapCut is a trademark of its owner.
What does Cutlab not do?
It has no built-in music library, no cloud project sync and exports in real time. Heavy 4K projects are better in a desktop editor.
Can I use Cutlab on my phone?
Yes. The editor adapts to phones and tablets with a bottom toolbar and slide-up panels.
