How It Works

From Card Dump
to First Cut.

Four steps, no new skills to learn. You direct, Sondr does the grind.

01Drop it!

Upload your footage

Drop in clips or point Sondr at a whole folder. Every frame is read the moment it lands — no proxies, no prep, no naming discipline required.

  • All the usual formats — MP4, MOV, ProRes, H.265
  • Whole-folder ingest with automatic tagging
  • Footage stays private in your workspace

02Direct it

Describe your edit

Tell Sondr the cut you want in plain language — pacing, mood, what to keep, what to leave out. Like briefing an assistant editor who never sleeps.

  • Plain words, not timeline surgery
  • Reference your specialty — vlog, wedding, doc
  • Refine with follow-ups any time

Under the Hood

What happens in those minutes.

A four-stage pipeline runs every time you brief Sondr.

1

Ingest & probe

Formats, frame rates and audio mapped the moment footage lands.

2

Watch every frame

Subjects, motion, tone and audio clarity become searchable structure.

3

Draft the story

Your brief plus scene intelligence shapes an arc — beats, pacing, B-roll.

4

Assemble the cut

A clean, editable sequence lands on the timeline, every decision yours.

The hours go back into the cut.

FAQ

Got Questions? Hmm..
We Got Answers

Quick answers for creators — plus a few insides!

It reads every frame — camera motion, subjects, scene type, pacing, tone and audio — then follows your written brief like a very fast assistant editor.

All the usual suspects: MP4, MOV, MXF, ProRes, H.264/H.265 and more. If your camera shot it, Sondr can almost certainly read it.

Yes — that's the whole point. Sondr assembles, you direct. Every suggestion is editable and your pacing preferences stick.

Your footage stays in your workspace, full stop. It's never used as training data and never visible to anyone else.

No — it replaces the grind before the edit. Export an editable sequence to Premiere, DaVinci or Final Cut and finish it your way.

First cuts land surprisingly close — and because everything is a normal timeline, fixing the last 10% takes minutes, not hours.

Yes. Point Sondr at a folder and it ingests, tags and assembles across all of it — multicam-style coverage included.

We listen closely. Ask a question, share feedback, or drop a quick hello — a human answers.
