Live production / post-production bridge tool
The show is already cut. LiveCut saves it.
LiveCut logs every program cut from your switcher with frame-accurate timecode and exports a ready-to-edit multicam timeline for DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and Premiere Pro.

Cut log running
Every program switch lands as a timecoded edit decision while the show is still happening.
After a live multicam shoot
The line cut exists — but the edit decisions disappear.
An assistant logs cuts by hand, or an editor rebuilds the show from scratch. Synced multicam timelines take hours before real editing even starts.
• Nobody saved which camera was live when.
• A dropped or mistimed cut can drift the whole edit.
• The show’s intent gets separated from the footage.
LiveCut captures the decisions you already made, the moment you made them.
How it works
Three steps from switcher to timeline.
01
Connect your switcher.
LiveCut listens to tally over the network — Ross Carbonite, For.A, or Blackmagic ATEM. No extra hardware on the program path.
02
Run your show.
Every program cut is logged live with frame-accurate timecode. Drop markers from the app, phone, or Stream Deck.
03
Export the edit.
Assign each camera’s clip, hit export, and open a frame-accurate multicam timeline in Resolve, FCP, or Premiere.

In the truck, LiveCut listens to the switcher while the director cuts the show.
MARK
+
A producer taps one button from phone or Stream Deck. The marker lands instantly.
EXPORT
Back in post, the editor opens a multicam timeline that already follows the live switch.
The show is already cut — your switcher just doesn’t save it. LiveCut does.
From live multicam to a frame-accurate edit — automatically.
No paper logs. No scrubbing through hours of footage. The cut is done before the editor sits down.
Frame-accurate by design
Every cut resolves back to its exact source timecode — verified to zero-frame error.

LiveCut captures the decisions you already made, the moment you made them — then turns them into a timeline your editor can trust.

Reference audio that never drops
Assign a clean board feed as main audio. It plays continuously under every cut.
Nothing falls through
A cut to a camera with no footage becomes a timed placeholder, not a gap.

Questions? Answers.
Do I need extra hardware?
No. LiveCut listens to your switcher’s existing tally over the network. For timecode it reads MIDI MTC or audio LTC.
Which switchers are supported?
Ross Carbonite, For.A generic TSL, and Blackmagic ATEM over the network.
Which editors can I export to?
DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and Premiere Pro. Resolve is validated; FCP uses native FCPXML.
What camera formats work?
Any — BRAW, ProRes, RED R3D, Sony/ARRI MXF, ARRIRAW, MP4. Mix resolutions and codecs in one timeline.
Is my footage uploaded anywhere?
No. LiveCut is local-only. It runs on your Mac and your network — no cloud, no accounts.
Stop rebuilding the show. Start with it already cut.
