> **Historical finalist profile — Fall 2025.** This page was published in 2026 from founder and competition sources.

**FrameCut** was a Top 10 finalist and received a **$3,000 standout concept award**.

**Team:** Shubham Agarwal and Bhushan Udaykumar

## What FrameCut was building

Purdue's competition recap and Bhushan Udaykumar's founder post describe the **Fall 2025 pitch** as a **story-aware AI system that turns long recordings into authentic short clips without losing the creator's voice**.

The concept addressed a real content workflow: converting long-form material into short-form video is time-intensive, while generic automation can strip away context or tone.

FrameCut's public description positioned the product around preserving story and voice rather than simply producing more clips.

## From idea to final

The founders described the Burton Morgan process as a progression from a raw idea through user stories, customer interviews, execution, and an investor-facing pitch.

FrameCut finished among the Top 10 from a field of 120 teams and received $3,000.
