Las Vegas, April 2026.
CuttingRoom arrived at NAB 2026 with five new features to show, a new platform to launch, and a story to tell about where cloud-based video editing is going. We left with two of the industry's most respected awards.
Two awards in one
week
Cuttingroom won Product of the Year 2026 in the Remote / Live Production category. It's recognition that cloud-native workflows aren't a compromise on professional broadcasting. They're the upgrade.
And Cuttingroom won Best of Show 2026, judged by working professionals across the broadcast industry, evaluating what genuinely moves the work forward.
We're proud, and we're grateful: to the judges, to the publications, and most of all to the customers and partners who keep pushing us forward.
Five new features,
launched at the show
NAB 2026 was also a launch event. Here's what we shipped:
- Shortcut. AI-assisted editing that works at the speed of your thinking.
- MCP server. Bring your own AI assistant directly into your video project.
- TAMS support. Full integration with the Time-Addressable Media Store. Open standards, end-to-end.
- Advanced Blur. Automatic tracking and blurring of faces, objects, and regions.
- Muzaic. Custom music creation, generated directly in the Cuttingroom timeline.
And one more thing:
Cuttingroom is now a
platform
Alongside the new features, we launched our Integration SDK, opening up Cuttingroom so partners can build their tools directly into the editor. Moreover; the same SDK can be used to utilize the power of CuttingRoom in other applications, as already demonstrated by these partners at NAB:
- Avid
- Iconik
- Social Dept
- Tedial
The conversations
that mattered
We had record attendance at the Cuttingroom booth this year, more than double last year's traffic. But the number wasn't the headline. What mattered was the quality of the conversations. Customers, prospects, partners, and seasoned broadcasters seeing the product for the first time all told us the same thing: Cuttingroom is where their workflow is heading. The new features only sharpened those conversations. Every demo turned into a "what about this?", and every "what about this?" gave us another idea worth chasing.
“NAB is a trade show, but it's also a reunion of old friends, a place where new friendships start, and yet another reminder that nothing beats real face time,” says cofounder Helge Høibraaten.
Some of the many memorable quotes picked up at the CuttingRoom booth this year:
"I'm very, very, very impressed - this is exactly what we need and will use in the future."
"CuttingRoom is the best! Love the team!”
“Deadly impressive!”
"I just wanted free beer”
