01
Export your synced multicam timeline as an XML from Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro. Drop it into RoughCut alongside your audio mixdown.
02
RoughCut transcribes the audio, identifies every speaker by name, scores the most emotionally powerful moments, and assembles them into a narrative story arc — opening, build, climax, resolution, closing. You choose the tone (cinematic, emotional, intimate, fun) and describe your focus in your own words.
03
Swap any soundbite with an AI-powered search. Correct speaker labels or tag sections (vows, speeches, ceremony) right in the transcript — your corrections improve every future generation. Add or remove soundbites without regenerating the entire story.
04
Upload your licensed tracks. RoughCut analyzes tempo, key, energy, and song structure, then places your dialogue at emotionally appropriate moments — speeches on verses, vows at the chorus.
05
Download a timeline for Premiere, Resolve, or FCP. Your original video clips are already on the right tracks. Multi-track audio from your lavs, boom, and camera mics is preserved. B-roll markers are placed at every transition with specific shot suggestions. Music is positioned. Open it and start editing.
