Raw footage in.
First pass out.
FirstPass watches every clip and does the tedious first edit for you — syncs your cameras, cuts the silence, shake and flubbed takes, and hands your editor a clean, organized timeline.

The first edit, done before you sit down
A multicam podcast that edits itself.
Drop in every camera and mic. FirstPass lines them up on its own — no clapboard, no manual syncing — then cuts to whoever is talking. Link each person's mic to their camera, tag a wide shot for when everyone talks at once, and every angle lands on its own track, perfectly in sync, ready to tweak.
- Auto-sync by sound, even cameras that started late
- Cuts follow the talker; crosstalk goes wide
- Every camera on its own track, full-length audio underneath
The boring part of editing, gone.
Dead air, shaky moments, blurry frames, "um"s and "uh"s, and the take where you flubbed the line — FirstPass finds them and cuts them before you ever open a timeline, keeping the take you actually finished.
- Silence, shake and blur
- Filler words and botched retakes
- A safety net that never throws away a whole stretch
Describe it like you'd text a friend.
"GoPro vlog with cinematic DSLR b-roll." "Podcast, two hosts, keep it punchy." FirstPass reads plain English — typos too — and tunes itself: looser on your action cam, strict on your cinema camera, tighter or looser pacing. You see what it understood the moment you type it.
- 19 kinds of shoots, from weddings to gaming
- Camera-aware: GoPro, DSLR, phone, drone
- Spelling slips and "no drone" handled
