How Does It Work

Gradcut works with existing AV teams, video production companies or live streaming services to capture graduation live stream and provides personalised video clips shortly after the graduation.

Universities set up multiple ceremonies through a client portal managed by the graduation office and share the QR code with students.

Graduates receive their personalised videos in various formats for easy sharing on social media, promoting the institution’s brand. The graduates’ portal ensures a secure login for accessing individual graduation clips.

This enables quick download and sharing of videos while they are still relevant. Users can create professional clips from existing footage without disrupting the production process, ensuring ease, speed, and professionalism.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any limitations on the number of ceremonies or graduates that can be accommodated under a yearly subscription?

There are no limitations on the number of ceremonies or graduates that can be accommodated under a yearly subscription, allowing universities to scale their usage as needed.

Does the University have to get involved in the delivery of videos? We do not have additional resources for that.

Everything is set up to be delivered automatically. Graduates will receive an email when videos are ready and they can conveniently access and download their personalised videos from the Gradcut online portal created for your University using their secure login credentials.

How does Gradcut ensure the privacy confidentiality and security of the data collected from universities and graduates?

We are considering privacy and security a priority in our software development platform and employ best-practice industry privacy standards and are dedicated to offering a confidential service to institutions and students alike.

Gradcut ensures the privacy of student data by encrypting data the University uploads, which cannot be downloaded afterwards.

Students do not create an account but use their University email and Student ID to log in the graduates portal to retrieve their videos using a time-restricted One-Time Password OTP that can only be retrieved once by a graduate having access to their University email inbox.

Moreover, each institution’s database runs on a separate instance dedicated to a single client to avoid cross-pollination of the data. Our agreement with the University outlines all security measures, the proactive approach to security we use and the guarantee to never share or sell graduates’ data.
