The Hub

The Hub is your starting point in CleanCut, found at /dashboard and via the CleanCut logo in the top-left. It does two things at once: it is where you bring a video in, and it is the launcher for the tool you want to run on that video.

The left side of the Hub is the upload zone — drag and drop a file or paste a video URL. The right side is a tool detail panel that explains the selected tool, its steps, and a pro tip. Once a video is ready, the "Open in…" button sends that same media straight into the tool you picked.

Under "Process with" in the Hub sidebar you choose which tool handles your upload. Click a tool to read what it does in the detail panel, then click "Open in…" once your video is ready.

The global sidebar on the left of every page groups tools into four stages that follow the creator workflow:

• Create — the Hub itself and your Library of past uploads and renders.
• Plan — the Planner for channel strategy and ideas, plus your Brand Kit.
• Distribute — the Post Designer and the Scheduler for publishing.
• Measure — Analytics for channel and video performance.

Use the chevron toggle in the top bar to collapse the sidebar to a slim icon rail when you want more room; CleanCut remembers your choice. The bottom of the sidebar holds notifications, an Invite shortcut, and your user menu.

The search box in the center of the top bar is the fastest way to jump anywhere. Type a page name, a tool, or a recent filename — matching pages and recent jobs appear in a dropdown, and clicking a result navigates straight there.

On the right of the top bar is the workspace switcher. CleanCut scopes most of your work — planner ideas, brand kits, analytics, and team members — to the active workspace, so switch workspaces here when you want to work on a different client or channel.
