Local-first & accounts
When Cutroom needs an account and when it doesn't — the manual editor is free, offline, and account-less.
A project is born Local: an on-device op-log and on-disk media, no sign-in, no upload. You only create an account when you reach for something in the cloud — the AI Director, generation, cross-device sync, or a server master render.
Your media never leaves your disk until you choose to promote a project to the cloud.
