Software for people who create and go live.
CutWire Studios builds free, open-source creative tools — live media mixing with Prism, and desktop video editing with Drift — for people who need to create under real pressure.
Creative tools shouldn't need a manual or a subscription.
CutWire Prism started from a simple idea: a visual node graph, a live crossfader and panic controls, in a dark interface that works under stage lighting and in a school hall alike.
Drift extends that same philosophy to desktop editing — a free CapCut alternative without watermarks, accounts or cloud lock-in. See every Drift feature or compare it with other editors. Every CutWire product speaks the same language: calm under pressure, precise when it counts.
Calm under pressure
Whether you are live on stage or finishing a cut before it ships, the software has to stay simple when it matters most.
Simplicity over feature bloat
Every addition has to earn its place in the interface. Defaults that work beat options that might.
Open foundations
Built on Qt and FFmpeg, released under GPLv3 — so creators can trust, audit and extend what they run.
The people building it.
