An example edit: 60 seconds at 9:16, made by Fineframe 0.2.0 with no manual steps

Footage: “Why NASA and IBM made a new AI model that predicts the Sun’s damaging flares” by IBM Research, licensed under CC BY 3.0, shortened, reframed and graded, with its sound processed and music, captions, name cards and keyword highlights added. Music: “3 am West End” by statusq, CC0 1.0. Neither IBM Research nor the people in it endorse Fineframe.

How an edit is made

  1. Analyse

    Finds the shots, where people speak and pause, every word with its timing, the faces and who is speaking, and sounds such as laughter and applause.

  2. Plan

    Claude picks the best takes, removes fillers and dead air, and fits the edit to the length you asked for.

  3. Render

    Cuts, framing on whoever speaks, colour, voice, music, animated captions, motion graphics and loudness.

  4. Check

    Claude reviews every cut and fixes what is wrong, in up to three passes.

What it does

Your footage stays on your computer

Analysis and rendering run on your computer, and no video file is uploaded. Claude plans and checks the edit on your own Anthropic key: it receives the transcript and details of each file, and pictures of the frames around each cut.

Speech is heard on your computer, or on OpenRouter when you choose it or your computer has too little memory. Everything the app sends, and where.

Your key, your bill

Fineframe uses your own Anthropic API key, and Anthropic bills you directly: about US$0.20 to 0.60 for an edit of a minute or less, and US$1 to 1.20 for one of five minutes. The app estimates the cost before each edit and shows it after.

The app is free during its public beta. When paid plans open, it is a subscription: US$15 a month or US$120 a year. See pricing.
