Indexes local and cloud footage
Connect local drives or supported cloud storage so Wideframe can search raw clips, B-roll, interviews, and product footage without moving source files.
Wideframe
Wideframe is a Mac desktop app that helps video editors search existing footage, assemble rough cuts, and export native Premiere Pro project files. It is designed to work alongside Premiere Pro rather than replace it.
Overview
Wideframe is an AI coworker for video editors. It runs as a native Mac desktop app and focuses on the preparation work that often takes longer than the final edit: searching footage, labeling clips, organizing assets, and sequencing timelines.
The product indexes footage by meaning across local files and cloud storage, then responds to natural-language prompts by finding relevant clips and building a rough cut. Its output is a native Premiere Pro project file, so editors can open the sequence in Premiere, make creative adjustments, and finish the job in their existing workflow.
Core capabilities
Natural-language footage search
Describe the edit in plain language and let the agent search for matching material by meaning rather than by filename alone.
Assembles Premiere sequences
Wideframe can pull clips together into a timeline so you get a rough cut instead of starting from an empty sequence.
Outputs native Premiere projects
Export a native .prproj file that opens directly in Premiere Pro for final trimming, adjustments, and delivery.
Mac desktop workflow
Run it as a native Mac desktop app with on-device media analysis for frame-accurate understanding of footage.
Works with existing source files
Keeps your files non-destructive by searching and indexing across your existing storage instead of relocating source media.
Practical use cases
Prep rough cuts from existing footage
Point Wideframe at a library of raw footage and ask it to find relevant clips for a specific edit, such as a highlight reel or a testimonial cut.
Find usable moments in large footage libraries
Use natural-language prompts to locate interview soundbites, B-roll, or product shots when the project is spread across many files and folders.
Hand off rough cuts to Premiere Pro
Generate a native Premiere sequence that you can open, refine, and export without recreating the timeline from scratch.
Set up an AI-assisted editing workflow
Use the onboarding flow to connect local drives or cloud storage and have the agent learn from your footage library before asking for sequences.
Create more edit variations for review
For teams that want more variation in review cycles, produce alternate cuts faster by letting the agent handle the first-pass assembly work.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Searches footage by meaning, which is more useful than filename-based lookup for editorial work.
- Turns natural-language edit requests into a rough cut and native .prproj file.
- Works with local files and cloud storage without moving source media.
- Keeps the workflow in Premiere Pro for finishing and export.
- Offers a 7-day free trial with no usage limits.
Cons
- Requires an Apple Silicon Mac; Intel Macs are not supported yet.
- It is designed to prepare edits and hand them off to Premiere Pro, so it is not a full replacement for an editor's finishing workflow.
