How it works

01

Point it at the shoot

"Here's the folder. Here's the brief." Same plain language you'd text an editor.

02

It handles the busywork

Starwish reads the files, names the takes, and drafts the first captions — automatically, while you watch.

03

You stay in the cut

The timeline is yours. The folder maze is already done.

What crews use it for

The edit is yours. This is the work around it.

Sort a shoot into usable takes

Name, bin, and pull selects from the dump — without living in Finder

Pull hook options from a long take

Mark the first three seconds that could open the cut, then hand them to you

Draft captions that match the brief

Read the client notes and write the first pass for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts

Pack deliverables for the client

Rename, folder, and stage the cut so the handoff is already clean

Turn a shot list into folders

Build the day's structure from the list you already wrote

Collect refs for the recut

Gather the brand board, last cut, and notes into one place before you open the timeline

Batch-name exports for each platform

TikTok, Reels, Shorts — same cut, the filenames the client asked for

Move feedback into the next cut

Read the comment thread and turn it into a checklist on the next version

If you can say it in one sentence, you can hand it to Starwish.
