Private beta — Join the waitlist for early access

The World's First
Narrative Intelligence
Engine for Video

CineLogic runs on your machine. Scene detection, transcript search, B-roll cataloging, and editorial assembly. Your RAW files never leave the edit bay.

Launching with working editors from BBC, Netflix, and Starz productions.

The Problem

Your footage is 20 terabytes.
The cloud is a lie.

A single TV episode shoots between 2 and 10 TB. A feature can hit 100 TB. On a standard 100 Mbps connection, uploading 10 TB of ARRIRAW takes 20 continuous days. Before any AI touches it. Before any result comes back.

Every cloud-based editing AI tool asks you to solve a physics problem they can't solve for you. So editors log footage by hand. At 2am. Again.

Every production. Every time.

upload time with CineLogic. Processing starts the moment you ingest.

Your machine. Your drive. Immediately.

How It Changes Your Day

Three things that change
the moment you install it

No new workflow to learn. No footage to move. CineLogic slots into what you already do and removes the parts that waste your time.

01

See every shot the moment you ingest.

Drop footage in. CineLogic reads it on your machine. Scene boundaries, shot types, coverage patterns, B-roll, every take logged automatically. What used to take 3 days on a TV episode takes 45 minutes.

02

Find the line. Cut to it.

Every word of dialogue is searchable the instant ingest finishes. Type a phrase, jump to the take. Assemble a paper edit from a search. Export straight to Avid, Premiere, or Resolve.

03

Your footage stays put.

Everything runs on your workstation or local facility network. No uploads, no cloud processing, no data leaving the edit bay. Studios, streamers, and legal teams can approve it without reviewing anything, because there's nothing to review.

Early Results

What It Does

Every repetitive task in post, automated.

Six capabilities that run locally on your hardware. No cloud. No waiting. No footage leaving the edit bay.

Scene detection

Automatic scene boundaries on ingest. Every cut, every coverage change, every B-roll opportunity, identified the moment the footage hits your drive.

Shot classification

Wide, medium, close-up, insert, B-roll, tagged automatically. No more scrubbing to find the cutaway. CineLogic knows what every shot is before you open the bin.

Transcript search

Every word of dialogue, instantly findable. Type a phrase, jump to the take. Works across every camera, every mic, the moment ingest finishes.

Paper edits

Search your way to a first assembly. Select the lines you want, order them, export. The rough cut starts from a search result, not a timeline.

Smart bins

Footage organised by scene, coverage, and content automatically. The bins are filled before you open your NLE. Every take in the right place.

NLE export

Send to Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro. Your timeline, your bins, your markers. Ready to cut.

Experience

Designed for the way editors think

A professional NLE companion that stays out of your way. Describe what you need, review what CineLogic finds, and export to your timeline.

Setup

Three steps. On your machine.

01

Install

Runs on Mac Studio, Mac Pro, or any workstation with Apple Silicon. Download, install, open. No configuration, no cloud account, no IT ticket.

02

Point at your footage

CineLogic reads directly from your storage. No copying, no uploading, no transcoding first. Point it at the drive and walk away. It works while you do other things.

03

Edit faster

Your NLE stays exactly the same. CineLogic fills the bins, builds the paper edit, finds the takes. You open your NLE to a project that's already half organised.

Local Only
On-Device Intelligence
Encrypted
Data Sovereignty

Your footage stays yours

Zero Cloud Processing

All inference runs locally on your hardware. No footage, metadata, or creative decisions ever touch an external server.

Zero Data Collection

We never see your content. No telemetry on what you edit, how you edit, or what stories you tell. Your creative process is yours alone.

Compliance Ready

Purpose-built for regulated environments. GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2 Type II compliance without infrastructure changes.

Patent-Protected

Four patent applications across five jurisdictions protect the local-first architecture that makes all of this possible.
