What changes

Find the story.
Before the schedule finds you.

  1. 01Understand

    Make large footage libraries searchable by meaning.

    Find a person, quote, action, reaction, location, object, or narrative beat across hours of source media without relying on folder memory.

  2. 02Assemble

    Move from script and rushes to a useful first cut.

    Turn editorial rules, transcripts, scripts, and synced media into a source-linked timeline editors can evaluate and reshape.

  3. 03Reformat

    Create new durations without flattening the story.

    Adapt approved programmes into shorter versions while preserving required sequences, statements, and editorial intent.

The workflow

Rushes in.
Timeline back.

Tellers works as an editorial acceleration layer around established post-production systems—not a replacement for the finishing room.

  1. 01

    Ingest production media

    Bring MXF footage, AAF or XML metadata, scripts, transcripts, archive, and editorial guidance into the project.

  2. 02

    Analyze and search

    Index dialogue, scenes, people, actions, entities, and semantics across the available media.

  3. 03

    Build the assembly

    Ask for a sequence, rough cut, selects reel, B-roll pass, or duration change using explicit editorial rules.

  4. 04

    Return to the NLE

    Review the editable result and export a source-linked timeline for finishing in Avid, Premiere, or DaVinci.

Inside one workspace

Everything the edit needs.

  • 01

    MXF and AAF understanding

    Work with broadcast production media and interchange metadata without flattening the source relationship.

  • 02

    Archive-scale search

    Search transcripts, scenes, people, objects, actions, and meaning across large footage collections.

  • 03

    Script-led assembly

    Use scripts, transcripts, story beats, and editorial rules to create a structured first cut.

  • 04

    Narration-aware B-roll

    Select illustration footage that aligns with what is being said, not simply what sits near the timecode.

  • 05

    Format re-editing

    Create shorter or alternative-duration versions while respecting required openings, closings, and statements.

  • 06

    NLE handoff

    Export editable timelines for Avid, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve with source-media relationships preserved.

Editors keep editorial control

The agent builds the assembly.
The editor shapes the programme.

Tellers accelerates media understanding, selects, and first assemblies. Editors can inspect every choice, continue directing the agent, adjust the timeline, and finish in the NLE already used by the production.

  • ✓Read-only treatment of source media
  • ✓Editable timelines instead of locked renders
  • ✓Explicit editorial rules and exclusions
  • ✓Professional NLE handoff for finishing

Questions, answered

Before you
get started.

Can Tellers work with MXF footage and AAF files?

Yes. Tellers is designed for professional production workflows involving MXF media and AAF or XML metadata, including source-linked handoff back to established NLEs.

Can Tellers search thousands of hours of footage?

Yes. Tellers indexes scenes, speech, people, actions, objects, entities, and semantic meaning so teams can retrieve useful moments across very large archives.

Does Tellers export to Avid, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve?

Yes. The goal is an editable timeline rather than a locked render. Teams can export the work and continue the finishing process in their established editing system.

Can Tellers select B-roll that matches narration?

Yes. Tellers can use transcript and semantic context to select shots that illustrate what is being said rather than relying only on timecode proximity.

Can Tellers create a shorter version of a finished programme?

Yes. Provide duration and editorial rules—such as mandatory opening and closing statements—and Tellers can create a new editable timeline around those constraints.

Does Tellers replace the editor?

No. Tellers reduces searching, logging, repetitive assembly, and reformatting work. The editor remains responsible for story, judgment, compliance, and the final programme.
