Stop scrubbing footage.
Start from your selects.
DotTrim analyzes your raw footage — scoring sharpness, stability, and exposure — and hands you a pre-selected timeline ready to import into DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro.
It is the step that happens before you edit. Now it takes minutes.
Built with professional videographers and editors. No gimmicks.
The footage review phase is where editing time goes to die
Before you edit a single frame, you scrub through everything. Pulling selects, logging clips, finding the usable takes — that phase can eat 40–60% of total project time. It is not editing. It is searching.
Hours of unreviewed raw footage
Multi-cam shoots, long events, and endless takes pile up fast. Before a single cut happens, someone has to watch all of it.
Endless footage scrubbing
Finding the good shots means pulling selects by hand — scrubbing every clip, again and again, just to know what you have.
Creative energy burned before the edit starts
By the time you finish reviewing footage and organizing bins, the creative momentum for the actual edit is already gone.
From raw footage to a pre-selected timeline in minutes
DotTrim is the step that happens before you open your NLE. It fits into your existing workflow — no learning curve, no change to how you actually edit.
Import your raw footage
Point DotTrim to your media folder or project files. Works with the common camera formats videographers actually shoot in.
AI scores every clip locally
On-device analysis grades each clip for sharpness, motion stability, and exposure. No uploads, no cloud — your footage never leaves your machine.
Selects highlighted, rejects flagged
DotTrim marks your strongest takes as selects and flags blurry, shaky, or underexposed clips. You arrive at your NLE with the review already done.
Import pre-selected timeline into your NLE
Export the pre-selected timeline and drop it straight into DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro — Final Cut Pro coming soon. The edit starts from your best material, not raw rushes.
DotTrim is not a video editor. It does the footage review and pre-selection. Your NLE — DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, or Final Cut — still handles the creative edit.
Watch the pre-edit workflow before you download
This walkthrough shows how DotTrim analyzes raw footage, scores every clip, surfaces your strongest takes as selects, and hands you a pre-selected timeline to import into DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro — without changing the way you already edit.
