For people who watch three-hour videos
Cutaway turns any moment of a long YouTube video into a short clip with its own link. Mark in, mark out, send it — your friends watch the part that matters, not a timestamp buried in a lecture.
no spam — one email when it's ready
One long video in. One 47-second clip out — with a link back to the exact spot in the original.
No editor, no downloading, no re-uploading. Clipping a moment should take about as long as the moment itself.
Drop in any video — a lecture, a podcast, a full match. Cutaway opens it in a player built for finding moments.
Hit I when the good part starts and O when it ends. Nudge the handles until it's exactly right.
You get a short link that plays just your clip — and always credits and links back to the original video and creator.
The best part of a long video is usually under a minute. That's the part people actually watch.

It drops your friend into hour two of a lecture with no idea where the moment ends. Most people close the tab before it gets good.
It starts at the right second, ends at the right second, and plays anywhere you paste it. Forty-seven seconds, zero scrubbing.
Every clip you cut is saved to your library — the best 47 seconds of everything you've ever watched, searchable and ready to reshare.
Clips aren't ripped downloads. Every clip names the creator and links back to the full video at the exact moment, so good clips send viewers to the source.
