For decades, editing started the same way.
Every file looked the same.
You could see the footage. You couldn't see the story. Watch. Take notes. Watch again.
Files become moments.
Ezra listens to every take and breaks your footage into moments, grouped into chapters you can rename, reorder and rebuild. Hours of footage take a shape you can see.
See the story before it plays.
Every moment shows what was said, how it was said, which camera caught it, and how long it runs. Compare takes, follow the emotion, and spot the gaps without scrubbing through every file. The cut stays yours.
Ezra does the listening. You do the storytelling.
Everything you need to tell the story, on one screen.
The transcript, the footage, the story analysis and your cut, side by side. Select words in the transcript and they become a clip. Trim a clip by crossing out words. No hunting through bins, no switching windows.
Edit on paper, without the paper.
Editors have always built their first cut as a script: lines on a page, shuffled until the story works. Ezra keeps the tradition and connects every line to its footage. Reorder a line and the cut follows. Print it for the producer, the pastor or the client, and get notes on the story before anyone opens an editor.

The whole story at a glance.
Every chapter, how long it runs, and how it feels, laid end to end. See where the story drags, where it rushes, and where the emotion peaks, before you spend the day finding out the hard way.
Ezra marks the lines that land.
In hours of footage there are a handful of lines that carry the piece. Ezra flags them so you hear them first, then decide where they belong. A starting point, not a final answer.
See the shape of the story.
Ezra maps your cut against a story structure and shows where each chapter sits. If the climax arrives too early or the ending never lands, you’ll see it on the curve.
Trained on the stories that work.
Ezra is trained to work within the most popular story frameworks: Hero’s Journey, StoryBrand, Three-Act Structure, the Golden Circle, ABT and the classic fairytale. Pick one, or let Ezra choose the best fit for your footage.
Ezra also captures the emotion in every take (tone, energy, sentiment) and uses that data alongside the words, so its suggestions follow how something was said, not just what was said. Build multiple cuts from one shoot following one topic, or several.
Finish in what's familiar.
When the story is right, send the cut to DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro, with cameras, timing and edits intact, and finish it in the tool you know.

Made for stories people tell.
Interviews, documentaries, testimonials, sermons. If the story lives in what people say, Ezra was built for it.
Great cuts ~80% faster.
Ezra was made to get editors revising faster. Put your footage in, analyze it locally, and Ezra then builds the spine off of the best moments. You take it from there.
Built for the craft, not to replace it.
Paper edits, chapters, story structure: these are things great editors already do. Ezra makes them better. It doesn’t make them obsolete.
Private at it's core.
We've made great strides to keep your media safe. Nothing is used to train Ezra, and your footage stays on your machine. Zero Data Retention on every project.
Keep starting from files, and the story stays buried.
You watch it twice.
Every file looks the same. Take notes. Watch again. The first real cut still waits on a night you don’t have.
The line that lands stays lost.
Somewhere in the hours is the sentence that would have carried the piece. You ship what’s findable, not what’s true.
The next shoot is already waiting.
Projects stack. Delivery slips. The work stops feeling like storytelling and starts feeling like search.
