Cut like the format demands.
A documentary breathes. A TikTok doesn’t. Eighteen built-in styles carry each format’s conventions — pacing, openings, endings, length, and the mistakes not to make — into the draft cut.
How it works
Three steps. No timeline required.
- 01
Pick the format
Documentary, doc-montage, TikTok, ad spot, YouTube, podcast clip, keynote, explainer, news package, brand film — eighteen in all.
- 02
The conventions shape the draft
Shot length and cutting rate, how it opens, how it ends, how long it runs — the style steers the edit-script draft before a single cut is placed.
- 03
You review the cut
The draft lands on your timeline in the format’s rhythm. Keep what works, kill what doesn’t.
What you get
Built in, not bolted on.
-
Eighteen formats, written down
Each style is a real convention set — pacing, opening and ending conventions, length ranges — not a colour filter with a genre name.
-
Pacing in numbers
Average shot length and cuts per minute, per style. A keynote and a 30-second ad do not move at the same speed.
-
Anti-patterns the engine avoids
Every style names its own mistakes — jump cuts on every line, music drowning speech — and the engine is told not to make them.
-
Pairs with the story engine
The style sets the rhythm; your written brief sets the story. Together they shape the draft.
A style is a convention set, not a guarantee — the footage and the brief still decide what the cut can be. The editor reviews every draft.
One suite, every tool
The same engine, other doors.
Each tool here is the same production suite, entered where you need it. Start with one; the rest is already there.
