Describe the rough cut.
Verbatim pulls it from your footage.
Inside Premiere.
Verbatim turns your interviews into story cards: draggable, splittable moments pulled straight from the transcript. Describe the story you want, or assemble the cards yourself. Premiere's timeline follows along in real time. All on your computer. Nothing uploads.

This is Verbatim docked in Premiere with a real podcast loaded. Take the tour, or click OUTPUT → Build Narrative, try the editor's options, then approve the cut and watch the timeline fill.
How it works
Three steps. One Premiere panel.
Select your clips
Click one clip or multi-select a dozen across the timeline or project panel. Verbatim loads every transcript as tabs in the panel. Works across interviews with different people, different days, different drives.
Describe the story
Open Build Narrative. Describe the story you want in plain English: who you want to hear from, what beats to hit, the energy and duration. The editor proposes a cut and explains why, and you talk it through before anything touches your timeline.
Get the rough cut
Approve & Build. Verbatim fills the OUTPUT tab with story cards. Each one is a moment from your footage, in narrative order, already on the Premiere timeline. Reorder, split, or delete any card; the timeline updates as you work.

Questions
+ Do I need to upload my footage?
No. Verbatim runs on your local machine. Your footage stays on your drive. We never see it.
+ Does it work without internet?
Only with the offline option: free AI that runs on your computer (Ollama). Cinelore Cloud, ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude all need an internet connection.
+ Do I have to pay extra for AI?
Not on Cinelore Cloud — the AI is included, nothing to set up. With Verbatim Perpetual you use your own: your ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription, a free Google Gemini key, a Claude API key (billed by Anthropic), or free offline AI on your computer (Ollama). You choose inside the plugin.
+ Can Verbatim cut across multiple interviews?
Yes. Select as many clips as you want (timeline selection, project-panel multi-select, sequences with nested clips); Verbatim loads every transcript and pulls the best moments across all of them. The prompt applies to the whole set, so one request can weave together interviews with different people from different shoots.
+ Do I have to use the story builder, or can I still arrange clips manually?
Both workflows are built in. Use the story builder when you want a rough cut in 30 seconds. Use the transcript cards when you want fine-grained control: drag to reorder, click to delete, right-click a word to split. Same timeline, same project, same clips.
+ What about DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro?
Verbatim launches first on Premiere. Native DaVinci Resolve support is already in active development. Final Cut Pro is on the roadmap after that.
