PearlMountain Launches CutBay to Automate Video Production via Chat

The platform addresses the friction inherent in traditional video production, where creators often struggle to bridge the gap between a campaign brief or a data-heavy report and a final visual output. Instead of forcing users to master complex animation software, CutBay parses source materials—including spreadsheets, images, and presentations—to generate a structured script and a draft video. CEO Lin Xiao emphasizes that the tool is designed to keep human users in the driver’s seat, allowing them to iterate on pacing, scene selection, and visual style through simple chat commands.

Beyond automated generation, CutBay features a canvas-based editor that provides granular control over fonts, colors, and positioning. This hybrid approach allows creators to leverage AI for heavy lifting while maintaining the ability to make precise, manual adjustments without needing to restart the generation cycle. The tool supports a range of applications, from product demonstrations and onboarding materials to animated reports, with a suite of flexible templates intended to serve as structural foundations rather than rigid constraints.
