AI tools for you.Editors for the film.

A suite of AI tools built around your project — a 24/7 project manager, brand scanner, reference analyzer, asset and video previs, and auto-composed briefings. Every frame of your film is cut by a senior human editor, start to finish.

The Thesis

We built an AI layer that gives you superpowers on your end — scans, briefings, previs, 24/7 answers. The edit itself stays in the hands of a senior human editor, every single frame.

The Line

AI runs the project.
A human editor cuts the film.

Every system in the studio sits on one side of a line. On the left, the tools we give you. On the right, the work a senior editor does by hand.

What AI does for you

  • A 24/7 AI project manager that knows your brief, timeline, and team
  • Brand Scan: your palette, gradient, and typography locked from a URL
  • Reference Analyzer: your references translated into a concrete style direction
  • Asset Generator: moodboards and concept boards instantly from your brief
  • Video Previs: animatic previews so you can lock direction before the cut
  • Briefing Synthesis: standups, weekly reports, and exec summaries delivered to you

What your editor does

  • Watches every second of footage and runs the full selects pass by hand
  • Shapes every cut, transition, and pacing decision
  • Owns every color choice that survives the grade
  • Crafts every sound decision, every mix, every frame of motion & VFX
  • Writes the titles, builds the lower thirds, finishes the motion graphics
  • QCs every master personally before a single file leaves the studio

The AI makes working with us easier on your end. The editor makes your film.

Feature 02Brand Scan

Your brand, locked
before kickoff.

Paste your URL. Pilot renders the page, extracts your palette, your signature gradient, and your typography hierarchy, and locks them to the project — so the deliverables come back in your brand on day one, not on revision two.

  • Perceived palette extracted from actual rendered pixels, not CSS tokens
  • Signature gradient reconstructed from your hero surfaces
  • Typography ranked by usage, weight, and role
  • Locked as the reference the editor inherits on every cut
Feature 03Reference Analyzer

Drop a reference.
Get a direction.

You've seen the film you want yours to feel like. Drop it in. Pilot scores it across six dimensions — pacing, color, transitions, audio, composition, flow — and hands the editor a concrete direction on day one. No more "like this but for us" guesswork.

Why this matters for you

Your references stop being subjective. The first cut comes back already inside the style you pointed to — which means fewer revision rounds, and the ones you do have are about nuance, not direction.

Your Briefing

Your project · Apr 21

  • Santos Wedding grade at 60% — 2 days ahead of schedule
  • First cut of the anthem spot lands in your inbox by 4 PM
  • Alex R. applying revision notes from yesterday's call
  • Nothing blocked. Nothing needs your attention right now.
Feature 04Briefing Synthesis

Status updates,
already written.

A daily update on your project at 8 AM. A weekly summary every Monday. A milestone view for upcoming deliveries. An executive summary for the person who needs only the headlines. Delivered to you — you never chase status again.

  • Daily: what's happening on your film today
  • Weekly: what shipped, what's in progress, what's coming
  • Milestones: every upcoming delivery date with runtime windows
  • Executive: the four numbers you actually need
Feature 05Asset Generator

Moodboards,
in seconds.

Type the feeling you want. Pilot generates a concept board — lighting, color, framing, texture, mood — that you can drop straight into the brief. The editor sees a visual target on day one instead of a paragraph of adjectives.

  • Prompt-to-moodboard in under 5 seconds
  • Organized by lighting, color, composition, mood, environment
  • Lock the ones you like — they become part of the brief
  • Never used as the cut — always as creative reference

Feature 06Video Previs

Lock the direction
before the real cut.

A short animatic preview generated from your brief — beat structure, pacing feel, visual tone. You approve the direction before the editor opens a timeline. No more surprises on v1.

  • Structural beats laid out to scale with your intended runtime
  • Visual tone set by your Brand Scan and Reference Profile
  • You approve direction before a human starts cutting
  • Never mistaken for the cut — labeled, watermarked, scrubbable
Feature 07Action Execution

Chat that
actually does things.

AI · FAQ

Straight answers about
how the AI works.

No. Every cut is made by a senior human editor, start to finish — from the first ingest to the final master. The AI layer runs around the edit — project management, brand scans, reference analysis, previs, briefings — so you get alignment and visibility. The cut itself is 100% human-authored.

Seven tools, one editor

The AI layer lights up the moment you start a project.

Your brand scanned, your references analyzed, your previs generated, your briefings queued. And a senior editor already on the edit — the part AI does not touch.
