Coming soon for Mac · Plays on Meta Quest

Any video.
Life-size.
In your room.

CutoutXR cuts the people out of your videos and stands them in your room, doing exactly what they did. Walk around them, resize them, replay them. Everything runs on your own Mac, so your videos stay yours.

I'd use it on

Free to try. Waitlist members get the $9.99 launch price. One email when it's ready, no spam. Privacy

Real CutoutXR output, from a free stock clip

Check your form

Film your push-ups or squats, then walk around yourself life-size and see what the mirror can't.

Practise moves

Dance routines, golf swings, martial arts. Slow them down and learn them standing right next to you.

Relive moments

A first dance, a toddler's first steps, a grandparent's laugh. Back in the room with you, life-size.

Make something new

Trim and join clips with smooth crossfades into one longer performance for your room.

How it works

Three steps. No green screen.

  1. 1

    Add a video

    Drop in almost any video or photo: MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, HEIC and more. Phone clips are perfect.

  2. 2

    Click who to keep

    Click on the person (or people, or objects) you want. On-device AI follows them through every frame. If it slips, one click fixes just that moment.

  3. 3

    Watch it in your room

    Open CutoutXR in the Quest Browser and press Enter AR. Nothing to install on the headset. Your Mac streams it privately over your own Wi-Fi.

See it in action

A real session, start to finish.

Add a clip, click the person, and CutoutXR does the rest: tracking, clean edges and free upscaling to 1080p, then a life-size cut-out ready for your Quest. The waits are sped up; everything else is real time.

Two dancers, one cut-out. Keep the one you want, fix a patchy moment with one click, then move the menu aside and place her 6 ft away in your headset.
When tracking slips. The strip turns red where it lost her, Problem ▶ takes you there, and a few clicks re-track just that part.

Features

Built to look real, and to stay private.

Private by design

No account, no cloud, no uploads. Cutting out, tracking and playback all happen on your Mac and your headset.

Clean, steady edges

Anti-flicker smoothing and edge clean-up, so your cut-out doesn't strobe or wear a halo of the old background.

Free HD upscaling

Turn 480p and 720p videos into sharp 1080p cut-outs with AI that runs on your Mac's Neural Engine.

Combine clips

Put cut-outs in any order, trim each one, and fade between them. Everyone stands on the same floor.

Fix in seconds

Add a click where tracking slipped and CutoutXR re-tracks only that moment, not the whole video.

One-hand controls

Play, pause, resize and move everything with just your right controller, from a menu you can place anywhere.

Your videos never leave your Mac.

  • No account. Install it and go.
  • No cloud. The AI runs on your Mac.
  • No uploads. Your Quest connects to your Mac over your Wi-Fi, encrypted and passcode-locked.

FAQ

Questions

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. CutoutXR processes and stores everything on your Mac. Your Quest plays the cut-outs straight from your Mac over your home Wi-Fi, using an encrypted connection and a passcode.

Do I need an account?

No. You'll download the app, and if you buy it, enter a licence key once.

Which headsets does it work with?

Meta Quest 2, 3, 3S and Pro, in the Quest Browser. On Quest 3 and 3S your room shows in colour; Quest 2 shows your room in black and white, and the cut-out itself is always in full colour.

What kind of videos work best?

A steady camera (a tripod or a propped-up phone) with the whole person in shot. Up to 5 minutes of each video is used. Photos work too.

Is it a subscription?

No. Pay once and keep the version you bought. The free version never expires.

Will there be a Windows version?

It's planned. Pick "Windows PC" or "Both" when you join the waitlist. It helps us decide how soon.

When does it launch?

We're finishing the installer now. Waitlist members hear first, by email, and get the $9.99 launch price.
