What is Cutaway?
A Cutaway is a filmmaking and video editing technique where the editor inserts a shot that is related to the main action but filmed separately. It’s used to provide context, add information, or create smoother transitions between scenes. Cutaways are often employed in tutorials, documentaries, marketing videos, and interviews to illustrate points, hide edits, or maintain continuity while shifting the focus to relevant visuals without interrupting the narrative flow.
