Your first assembly

From hours of raw footage to a cut you can work with

A rough cut is about choosing. VIDIO goes through everything you shot, pulls the selects and builds a first assembly you can shape.

Pulls the selects for you

In speech or visual mode, the AI finds the best takes, key lines and reactions, so you start from selects, not a full card.

Watchable from the first pass

Crossfades, wipes and zooms smooth the joins automatically, so reviewers see a cut, not a string of clips.

B-roll over the talking

When a speaker mentions something you filmed, VIDIO cuts away to matching B-roll.
