You can't afford a dead video. Test the hook in ten minutes instead of finding out in the analytics tomorrow.

What you get

  • A ranked scoreboard of all 7 cuts, so you see exactly where your original placed.
  • Hook-by-hook engagement scores showing which opening actually holds viewers.
  • The winning cut, ready to post. Zero editing skills required.
  • A public receipts link you can send to a client or a brand.

It will tell you when you were already right

When we ran our own ad, the original beat every re-cut. ReelCut said so. Tools that always claim to improve your video are selling edits, not answers. If your cut wins, post it as-is.

Your first tournament is free

Create an account in the app and run one full tournament on us: 6 new cuts, 7 scores, 1 winner. After that, packs of 5 or 15 tournaments are sold in-app at the same prices as the web packs. Your hook decides whether anyone ever sees your product. One winning video pays for a lot of tournaments.

Frequently asked questions

Is ReelCut free?

Your first tournament is free when you create an account. After that, tournament packs (5 or 15 tournaments) are sold as in-app purchases at the same prices as the web packs. One tournament = 6 new cuts, 7 scores, 1 winner.

Do I need an iPhone?

The ReelCut app is iPhone-only (iOS 16 or later). On Android or desktop, the exact same tournament runs in the browser at pretestads.com/tournament with the same account and credits.

How long does a tournament take?

Usually 10 to 20 minutes. You can close the app — ReelCut sends a push notification the moment the winner is crowned.

What scores the cuts?

TRIBE, a brain-response model trained on published fMRI research. It predicts second by second where viewer attention locks in and where it dies, and ranks every cut against 76 top-performing TikTok Creative Center ads. It measures attention, not guaranteed views or sales.

Is my video kept private?

Yes. Your upload and the generated cuts are stored privately under your account and are never published. You keep every file, and you decide what to post.

Does ReelCut use the same account as PreTestAds?

Yes. Log in with your PreTestAds email and password, or create an account in the app. Credits, tournaments and receipts are shared between the app and the website.
