Same word, different job. AdCut does not open a timeline and does not write a new ad. It cuts words you already have.
| Job | Input | Output | Use when |
|---|---|---|---|
| AdCut | Script / transcript you already have | 6s / 15s / 30s JSON labeled hook / proof / CTA | You have the words. You need timed cutdowns. |
| Video editors (CapCut, Descript, Kapwing…) | Footage | A timeline / rendered file | You need a video file, not labeled beats. |
| Long-to-short clippers (Opus Clip, Vizard…) | A video | Rendered shorts | You have footage, not a pasteable script. |
| Related script writer — Hookly.cc | A product URL | New UGC scripts to film | You do not have a script yet. Then come back and cut. |
