In the video, a person is seen cutting a piece of paper with a pair of scissors. The paper is placed on a flat surface, and the person uses the scissors to make a cut along a line drawn on the paper. The scissors appear to be of a standard size, and the paper is a standard white color. The person's hands are visible, and they seem to be right-handed as they use the scissors with their right hand. The action is repeated several times, with the person making multiple cuts along different lines drawn on the paper.
