Live Coach: Get Real-Time Feedback While You Edit
What if you had a professional editor watching over your shoulder? Live Coach provides instant feedback as you edit, with timeline markers that export directly to your editing software.
Editing is where good content becomes great—or where potential gets lost. Most creators edit alone, without feedback, hoping they're making the right choices.
What if you had an expert editor watching over your shoulder?
Introducing Live Coach—real-time AI feedback that guides your editing decisions.
The Editing Struggle
Editing solo presents challenges:
- Blind spots — You can't see your own mistakes
- Overthinking — Should that cut be here or there?
- Fatigue — After 8 hours, everything looks the same
- No feedback loop — You only learn if something worked after publishing
Professional productions have editors, directors, and producers reviewing every cut. Solo creators have... themselves.
Live Coach levels the playing field.
How Live Coach Works
1. Connect Your Timeline
Live Coach integrates with your editing workflow. Export your rough cut or work-in-progress for analysis.
2. Get Instant Feedback
Within seconds, you receive timestamped feedback:
- 02:34 — "Pacing drops here. Consider a jump cut or B-roll transition."
- 04:12 — "This section tests low for engagement. Trim by 15-20 seconds?"
- 06:45 — "Strong emotional peak! Great candidate for a highlight clip."
- 08:30 — "Energy dip before the conclusion. Add music swell or visual pattern interrupt."
3. Timeline Markers Export
The magic: Live Coach exports markers directly to your editing software. Open your timeline and see exactly where to make changes.
Supported editors:
- DaVinci Resolve (XML/EDL export)
- Final Cut Pro (FCPXML export)
- Adobe Premiere Pro (XML export)
No manual note-taking. No scrubbing back and forth. Just markers exactly where they need to be.
