The production platform
for documentaries
From first field notes to final cut. Shuttlecut syncs footage, transcripts, selects, and story structure across your team — so nothing gets lost, no one's waiting, and every decision is timecoded.
How It Works
Built for the way non-fiction actually works
Documentary production has its own rhythm. Shuttlecut is designed around that reality.
Capture & flag in the field
Log timecoded notes and flag moments from set. Sync to your editing team in real time, so they know what happened before footage arrives.
Screen, select, and organize
Watch dailies in the built-in viewer. Make timecoded selects, add producer notes, organize into a growing library. Scout AI surfaces moments based on what you need.
Build your cut and go to NLE
Paper edit sequences in Shuttlecut or export selects to Premiere Pro or Avid. Timecodes, metadata, and markers travel with you.
Features
Everything your production needs
One platform, every department. No more spreadsheets, lost notes, or broken timecodes.
Field Notes
Log timecoded notes on set from iOS or web. Shoot summaries and flagged moments sync to your editing team in real time — so the edit room knows what happened before the footage arrives.
Dailies & Screening
Watch dailies and archival footage with your team. Timecoded notes and selects stay locked to every frame — no guessing where a moment happened. Make selects on the fly, build a library as you screen, and everything's ready for the edit.
Transcripts & Selects
Accurate, searchable transcripts for every clip. Find moments by what's said, not by hunting through footage. Pull selects directly from the transcript, then export to Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, or your timeline as timecoded EDL, FCPXML, or ALE.
Script & Paper Edit
Turn selects into scenes. Drag clips into your outline, reorder them, and play them back — all before opening your NLE. Rework your structure as often as you need. When you're ready, export to your timeline and start your first cut with a plan.
Archival & Licensing
Organize your archival research, track requests, and manage your clip library from one place. Scout AI helps you find options, and Shuttlecut keeps your licensing team in the loop — who requested what, where it's being used, and what's at risk of expiring.
Scout AI — Everywhere
Your sous chef in the edit room. Scout knows your footage, your transcripts, your selects, and your story. Ask it to find moments that fit your scene, help you track a character arc, or flag what you might be missing. It's faster than hunting, and smarter than search.
