Every content creator I know has the same problem. The blog post is done, it is ranking, people are reading it, but there is no video version of it anywhere. Making one the normal way means writing a script, recording a voiceover, finding visuals, cutting everything together, adding captions. Half a day gone, easily. Most of us just skip it.
That is the exact gap CutBay is trying to fill. It is a new AI video agent from PearlMountain Limited and it launched in October 2026. Instead of opening a timeline editor, you open a chat, tell it what you want and it builds the video for you.
I tested it with my own content. Here is how it actually went.
What CutBay actually is
CutBay is not a video editor in the usual sense. There is no timeline waiting for you to drag clips around. It works more like an assistant you brief.
You give it something to work with. That can be a plain idea typed in one line, a blog post or landing page link, an Amazon product URL, a PDF, a PowerPoint deck, a spreadsheet, or your own photos and clips. The agent reads it, pulls out the key points, writes a script, builds scenes around it, and adds voiceover, captions, music and animation on its own.
From there you have two ways to fix things. You can just type what you want changed in the chat, like a slower pace or a different scene and it revises the video. Or you can open the canvas editor and adjust text, fonts, colors and positions yourself, the manual way. I liked that second option more than I expected. Pure chat editing sounds great until the AI misunderstands one small thing, and then you are glad you can just fix it with your own hands.
My test: turning a blog post into a video
For my test I kept it simple and used the feature most bloggers would care about. I gave CutBay a link to an existing article and let it do its thing.
It pulled the content and images from the page, structured it into scenes, wrote the narration, and returned a complete video with voiceover and captions. Honestly, the result was proper. Not “good for an AI tool” proper, just a clean, watchable video that I could actually publish. The script stuck to what the article said instead of inventing new claims, which is where a lot of these tools fall apart.
Was it perfect on the first try? No. A couple of scenes needed adjusting, and I used the chat to ask for changes and the canvas editor for the small stuff. But compare that to starting from a blank project in a normal editor and it is not even close. This took minutes of directing instead of hours of editing.
The features that stood out
Start from almost anything. Links, documents, PDFs, presentations, spreadsheets, your own media. For anyone sitting on a pile of old blog posts, that back catalogue just became raw material for video.
Talking head cleanup. If you record yourself talking, it can remove filler words, silences and retakes automatically, then add captions, B-roll and motion graphics on top. Creators who film themselves will get the most out of this one.
Chat based editing. Revisions happen in plain language. No menus to learn, no shortcuts to memorize. You describe the change, it happens.
Presentations and data. Decks turn into videos with animated charts and narration, and spreadsheets can become data visualization videos. Business teams will care about this more than bloggers will.
Made for short formats too. There are workflows for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts plus product videos for ecommerce sellers.
What could be better
A few honest points, because no tool launch is flawless.
The credit system needs watching. Videos are paid for in credits, and a single finished video can use anywhere from 10 to 25 of them depending on length and complexity. Unused monthly credits do not roll over, so on a paid plan you want to actually use what you are paying for.
The free plan is really just a taste. You get 20 credits, which is roughly one test video, exports are 720p and they carry a watermark. Enough to see how it works, not enough to publish with.
CutBay pricing
There are three plans, and annual billing takes 30% off the monthly price. Full details are on the CutBay pricing page.
| Plan | Price | Credits | Export | Watermark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 20 free credits | 720p | Yes |
| Pro | $29/month ($21 on annual) | 500/month | 1080p | No |
| Ultra | $69/month ($49 on annual) | 1,400/month | 1080p | No |
Pro works out to roughly 25 videos a month and Ultra to around 70, depending on how heavy each video is. Both paid plans include unlimited projects and priority support.
Who should use CutBay
Bloggers and content marketers who want video versions of content they already have. Ecommerce sellers who need product videos without hiring an editor for every listing. Educators turning lessons and decks into watchable videos. Small business teams doing presentations, onboarding or social content.
Who should skip it? Serious video editors. If you live in Premiere or DaVinci and need frame level control, a chat agent is not replacing your workflow. This tool is built for speed, not for cinema.
My verdict
CutBay does the one thing it promises and it does it well. You hand it content you already have, and it hands you back a finished video. The blog post test sold me on it, because that is a real job I actually need done, not a demo scenario.
If you publish content regularly and video keeps falling off your to do list, it is worth trying the free credits and running one of your own articles through it. That single test will tell you more than any review, including this one.
