Cutting inside a project

Opened as a project's Cut tab, the editor knows your scenes, shots and uploaded takes, so footage arrives already labelled with what it is rather than as a folder of filenames.

Cut against your production

Instead of importing files named A001_C003.mov, you are working with scene 14, shot 3, take 2, circled. Circled takes are marked, so the ones worth cutting with are the ones you reach for first.

/cut is the same application with none of that, for footage that belongs to no production here.

Cuttable footage is Takes and the editor’s own local bin. The project Media tab is on-set capture. It cannot describe a clip precisely enough to cut with, so it is not offered.
