matters.

01

Hours of footage. No map.

Montage turns source media into time-coded transcript and scene evidence so you can find useful moments without scrubbing the timeline blind.

02

Every edit starts over.

Keep one project truth for long cuts, shorts, captions, reframes, versions, and approvals instead of rebuilding from exports.

03

AI tools create more tabs, not less work.

Use AI where it helps — transcription, scene indexing, selects, cleanup, B-roll, captions — inside one understandable production flow.

04

The software owns the workflow.

Montage keeps source media, edit decisions, versions, and evidence portable while engines remain replaceable.

Verified product pathReal editing infrastructure · private beta

AI prepares.
You decide.

Montage uses intelligence to remove unnecessary editing work while keeping source footage protected and consequential output reviewable.

01

Bring real footage

Use protected source media and keep the original immutable while Montage prepares working copies and proxies.

02

Understand the footage

Create time-coded transcript and scene evidence so the library becomes navigable instead of opaque.

03

Edit reversibly

Cut, split, undo, redo, reopen, and keep captions synchronized with the canonical timeline.

04

Verify delivery

Render platform-ready reviews and validate the resulting media before calling it finished.

QuestionsStraight answers

Before you
bring the footage.

Is this another AI video generator?

No. Montage starts with your footage and project state. Generative providers are optional, replaceable support tools — not the owner of the edit.

Can Montage use Google Drive or OneDrive?

Yes. The media library is designed to treat Google Drive and OneDrive as peer source providers feeding one protected asset registry.

Does it overwrite my source footage?

No. Source masters are treated as protected. Editing happens on copies, proxies, and derivatives, with review before consequential export or publishing.

Can some of the editing intelligence run locally?

Yes. Sage can use LM Studio/Bionic locally for private editorial reasoning while deterministic media tools handle probing, proxying, captions, cuts, and verification.

Can I use Montage today?

Montage is in private beta. We are opening access in small groups while the public runtime and provider connections are verified. Request beta access and we will invite people in as capacity opens.
