The Complete Post-Production Studio in Your Browser.
Stop paying thousands for a fragmented stack of editing, review, and streaming tools. Aeion Cut unifies your entire video lifecycle—from AI-powered Magic Mask rotoscoping and 4K multi-track timelines to collaborative client review and multi-destination broadcast streaming—all in the cloud, all in your browser.
A Unified Media Pipeline
Cloud-Native NLE
Edit multi-track 4K / 8K timelines directly in your browser. Powered by WebGL2 and CRDTs, multiple editors cut, trim, and color-grade on the same timeline simultaneously — like Google Docs for video, with auto-save preserving every edit.
Magic Mask 2.0 Rotoscoping
AI-powered subject isolation that exceeds Adobe After Effects Roto Brush. One-click detection, temporal consistency across frames, hair / fur preservation, motion-aware tracking through occlusion. No manual tracing. Batch processing for entire sequences.
StreamCast Studio
Run your live show like a broadcast truck, from a browser tab. Ingest RTMP, SRT, and NDI feeds side by side, key and grade them live, then push the finished program to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and any number of custom RTMP/SRT endpoints simultaneously — one operator, one switcher, no separate license per destination. Multi-view room composites and PiP/side-by-side track composites give your director full visibility, and PTZ cameras respond directly from the same interface over VISCA, ONVIF, or Pelco-D/P — no separate camera-control software running alongside it.
MediaReactor Ingest
Cinema camera footage lands ready to cut, not stuck in a transcode queue. MediaReactor ingests RED R3D, ARRI RAW, Sony X-OCN, and ProRes natively, auto-detects whatever GPU you have (NVENC, VideoToolbox, QSV) to generate proxies fast, and syncs multi-cam dailies automatically — so editors are scrubbing footage while the DIT is still labeling cards. Built on FFmpeg under the hood, so an obscure codec is never the reason a shoot day gets delayed.
Dailies QC
Every clip gets checked the moment it lands — resolution, frame rate, codec, color space, audio channels, corruption — so a bad card or a wrong camera setting is caught before dailies go out, not after the edit's already built on top of it. Frame-accurate defect logs give the DIT a ready-made report instead of a re-scrub.
Collaborative Review
Eliminate Wipster and Frame.io from the stack. Clients draw frame-accurate annotations directly on the review player, and every comment syncs instantly back to the editor's timeline — no screenshots, no timecode typos in an email. Multi-level approval workflows with version tracking mean a note from the client and a note from the exec producer never get confused about which cut they're referencing.
Color Grading Suite
A finishing suite that holds up next to Resolve, without leaving the timeline your editors are cutting on. Professional color wheels (Lift/Gamma/Gain/Offset), RGB curves, and a full scope bank (Vectorscope/Waveform/Histogram/Parade) give colorists the precision they expect; LUT management, HDR grading (PQ/HLG), ACES color management, and film emulation (HALD, 3D LUTs, print looks) mean a project can go from rough cut to broadcast-ready grade without an export-and-reimport round trip.
AI Video Intelligence
Find the shot instead of scrubbing for it. Twelve Labs semantic search lets you type "sunset over water" or "person entering through a door" and get frame-accurate hits across your entire library — no manual tagging required. Whisper transcription adds word-level timestamps and speaker diarization, and auto-tagging pulls from nine separate AI sources (objects, scenes, transcript, OCR, faces, colors, audio classification, content type, and rules) to build chapters, scene boundaries, and object/action/logo detection automatically. For live shows, the same intelligence generates highlight clips while the broadcast is still running.
Multi-Destination Encoding
Push one program out to every destination it needs to reach — SRT, RTMP, HLS, WebRTC, RTP — with each encode running as its own independent, GPU-accelerated (NVENC/QSV) session. Because every destination gets its own job, a hiccup on one endpoint — or stopping it entirely — never touches the others still streaming.
Voice Cloning & V-Tuber
Give a show a voice and a virtual host without a recording booth or a rigging team. AI voice synthesis (backed by ElevenLabs and OpenAI) generates narration or dialogue on demand, and Live2D model integration brings virtual talent to life with lip-sync and motion-capture bridging — built for podcast hosts, V-Tuber talent, and localized narration at a fraction of studio cost.
Spatial Audio & Surround Sound
Mix for the format the release actually needs. Dolby Atmos and Sony 360RA spatial audio sit alongside 5.1/7.1/DTS surround panning and rendering, and the VST3 plugin host bridges your existing local audio plugins straight into the cloud editor — so the mix engineer's own tools travel with the project instead of staying stranded on one workstation.
Video FX Architect
Build compositing effects visually instead of scripting them. A node-based compositor chains Magic Mask, color keying, rotoscoping, and background removal into professional VFX pipelines, with per-stream multi-source compositing running on GPU acceleration so previews stay real-time even on complex chains.
40+ Built-In Effects — No Plugin Store
The categories editors normally buy as separate After Effects plugins, included: particle systems (fire, rain, smoke, sparks), optical (lens flare, halation, bloom, chromatic aberration, film grain), Trapcode-class (Shine volumetric rays, Starglow, 3D Stroke, audio-driven Sound Keys), stylize (cartoon, oil paint, watercolor, neon), distortion/warp, pro keying (chroma/luma/difference/garbage matte), and 18 blend modes — 100+ presets, applied as non-destructive adjustment layers.
Native Hardware Integration
VST3 & OFX Plugins
The Aeion Bridge daemon connects the cloud editor to local VST3 audio plugins (Izotope, Waves, FabFilter) and OFX video effects (Boris FX, Sapphire) running on your own machine.
NDI Integration
Discovers NDI sources on the network and bridges NDI streams to and from the editor, including PTZ camera control over NDI.
PTZ Camera Control
Seven PTZ protocol implementations: VISCA IP/Serial, ONVIF, Pelco-D/P, HTTP API, DanteAVH. Preset management and position recall from StreamCast web UI.
Hardware Encoders
Auto-detects GPU encoders (NVIDIA NVENC, Intel QSV, Apple VideoToolbox) and binds to the optimal encoder per media format.
RTSP Relay
Each connected camera gets its own independent relay process that converts RTSP streams to RTMP for ingest. Starting or stopping one camera's relay never disrupts any other.

Frequently Asked Questions
MediaReactor supports 50+ professional formats including RED (.R3D), ARRI (.ari, .mxf), Blackmagic RAW (.braw), ProRes, DNxHD/HR, Canon Cinema RAW, Sony XAVC, and all standard codecs. RAW formats are debayered **server-side** for instant playback without transcoding delays — no waiting for proxies before you can scrub.
Cut includes everything Frame.io offers — video review, frame-accurate annotations, client portals, approval workflows — **plus** browser-based NLE editing, multi-source live streaming, professional camera ingest (RED/ARRI/BRAW), AI video search, and Magic Mask rotoscoping. If you're paying for Frame.io + Premiere + OBS + a transcoding service, Cut consolidates all of that into one platform with one audit trail and one bill.
Yes. The browser NLE (powered by CRDT-based real-time collaboration) supports multi-track timelines, cuts, transitions, basic color correction, audio mixing, and real-time collaboration — multiple editors on the same timeline like Google Docs for video. Designed for rough cuts and assembly, not finishing. Export EDL/XML to Premiere/Resolve for final grading.
We integrate Twelve Labs for semantic video understanding. Search your footage library with natural language queries like "sunset over water" or "person entering through door" and get frame-accurate results. AI analyzes every frame on ingest; no manual tagging required. Faster than scrubbing through 200 hours of dailies.
Absolutely. Client portals support **forensic watermarking** (visible + invisible steganographic, per-share-link unique), download restrictions, expiring signed URLs, and IP allowlisting. NDA-grade workflows include isolated review channels, mandatory click-through NDAs per viewer, and full audit logging of every viewing event (who, when, what frame). Watermarks lift off final cuts — only review proxies carry them.
Storage counts your **original** media. Proxy generation is automatic and **doesn't** count against your quota. The $29/mo flat rate includes 500GB. Additional storage at $0.02/GB/month. Archived projects can be moved to cold storage at a reduced rate.
The Aeion Bridge daemon pairs cloud-side Cut with physical hardware in your control room: Stream Deck, Elgato 4K capture, Blackmagic ATEM, tally light controllers, VST3 audio plugins (iZotope, Waves, FabFilter), OFX video effects (Boris FX, Sapphire), and PTZ cameras via VISCA / ONVIF / Pelco-D/P / DanteAVH. Honest no-op semantics — when no device is paired, the system returns `transmittedToDevice: false` with a machine-readable reason. No fabricated "success" acks.
