This powerful partnership brings CuttingRoom’s cloud-based video editing platform directly into your Zype workflow, empowering you to rapidly edit, collaborate on, and distribute video to digital platforms at scale.

Introducing CuttingRoom

CuttingRoom is a next generation cloud-based video creation platform designed specifically for video professionals. With its intuitive, highly responsive browser-based editor and publishing tools CuttingRoom streamlines video production by enabling real-time collaboration among editors, approvers, and content creators. Users can cut from live streams and files, create a story with compelling graphics and audio, and publish within seconds in parallel to multiple destinations, including media asset management systems and social media channels. Trusted by media organizations around the world, this integration with Cutting Room will allow Zype users to easily access an entire suite of advanced video editing tools right from your familiar Zype environment.

Seamless Integration with Zype

The new integration creates a full round-trip workflow that bridges your Zype video library with CuttingRoom’s robust editing suite. Now, videos stored in Zype can be effortlessly imported into CuttingRoom for editing, and once your editing is complete, you can export your finished project back to Zype with just a few clicks. 

This integration is designed to accelerate your content creation and simplify your video workflow by streamlining the entire video management, production, and distribution process. With Zype and CuttingRoom, you can quickly and easily create and deliver tailored versions of content in the right formats for your preferred video streaming endpoints.

Key Features and Benefits

Leveraging the integration with CuttingRoom, Zype customers can extend the capabilities of their video production through the following features and capabilities:

• Advanced Motion Graphics Made Simple:
  CuttingRoom equips you with everything you need to produce stunning animated graphics. Utilize multiple layers, easing keyframes, color gradients, masking, and even import Adobe After Effects templates to create dynamic visuals. This means you can develop beautiful motion graphics that enhance your video content and captivate your audience.
• Flexible Aspect Ratio Creation:
  Understanding the diverse needs of today’s media landscape, CuttingRoom allows you to easily create videos in multiple aspect ratios. Whether you need a 16:9 format for television, websites, or some social media channels, or formats like 4:5, 9:16, and 1:1 for other social platforms, this integration ensures your content looks perfect on every screen.
• Real-Time Frame Rate Mixing:
  In today’s fast-paced production environment, dealing with videos shot at different frame rates is common. CuttingRoom’s innovative editor automatically confirms and adjusts all video sources to your desired frame rate in real time. This ensures a smooth, professional-looking final product regardless of your source material.
• Edit Anywhere, Anytime:
  Breaking free from the confines of a traditional office setup, CuttingRoom’s cloud-based technology means you can access your powerful editing suite wherever inspiration strikes. You can work on your projects in full 4K resolution without being tethered to a high-speed broadband connection.
• Direct Publishing Across Platforms:
  With CuttingRoom's direct publishing model, you can simultaneously push your final video to Zype, social media platforms, other CMS or OVP systems, and even MAM systems, ensuring your content reaches your audience quickly and efficiently.
• Live Editing Capabilities:
  The integration goes beyond traditional editing. You can now feed an infinite number of live channels—whether SRT, RTMP, Zixi, or HLS—into CuttingRoom. Edit these live streams on the fly or after the event, and push your edits back to Zype or your chosen platforms, all through an intuitive API-driven interface.
• Optimized Content and Live Hours:
  CuttingRoom’s efficient processing system generates super-fast proxies for your videos, allowing rapid editing without sacrificing quality. The platform also smartly tracks “Content hours” and “Live hours,” ensuring that you get the most out of every minute of content without incurring unnecessary costs.
  
  

How It Works

Integrating Zype with CuttingRoom is simple once you have established a CuttingRoom and Zype account. From your CuttingRoom settings, navigate to “Integrations”, select “Zype”, and fill in the required fields. Provide your storage a unique name, decide on sharing settings, and retrieve your Zype API key. 

Once connected, your Zype content will appear in the CuttingRoom source dropdown, allowing you to seamlessly edit, render, and export your videos back into Zype. This round-trip integration is designed for a frictionless experience, enabling you to focus on creativity while the technology handles the rest.
