In the video, a person is seen using a cherry pitter to remove the pits from cherries. The person places the cherries into the top of the pitter and pushes down on the handle, which pushes the cherries through the pitter and removes the pits. The person repeats this process several times, using a different cherry each time. The cherries are red and glossy, and the pitter is white with a red top. The background is a kitchen countertop with a granite-like appearance.
