DAEDAL is a complete post-production studio powered by AI that runs entirely on your own computer. Point it at a folder of cards from a shoot — and it watches, listens, syncs, sorts, grades and drafts the edit, so you start in Premiere from a first cut instead of from an empty timeline.

It is already used on real wedding films in our own workshop. Meanwhile, its sync engine is available as DAEDAL Sync, a free standalone app.

WHAT DAEDAL DOES
Eight tools. One studio.
Not a filter or a single trick: DAEDAL connects the slow, repetitive parts of post-production into one workflow. Each part is useful on its own — together they turn a day of footage into a first cut.
Understands your footage
Scene by scene: shot types, faces, motion, sharpness, speech and its transcript. A local language model labels every moment — preparations, ceremony, first dance, speeches — and writes a report plus markers you import into Premiere.
Syncs cameras by sound
Any number of cameras and audio recorders lined up by their sound, not by their clocks — even a recorder that is years off. Long recordings are corrected for drift. Result: a multicam timeline with every camera on its own track.
Drafts the edit
A teaser and a full-length film, chronological or a story built around the voices, cut to the music you choose. Several variants per song, with the reason behind every shot, alternatives one click away, and a Premiere XML to finish in.
Learns your style
Give it one of your finished films and it learns your rhythm: shot lengths, slow motion, music levels, how much of the day you show. Or describe the change in words — “shorter party, more of the bride’s mother” — and it adjusts the recipe.
Matches your cameras
Recognizes each camera and log profile (V-Log, S-Log3, HLG, D-Log M…), converts it to Rec.709 and matches every camera to a reference — skin tones first. It can even build a look from a few reference images you love.
Writes the subtitles
Transcribes and translates speech into subtitle files for your film, a generated edit or a Premiere sequence. Fix the text in place, style it live on the video, and export with the subtitles burned in.
Cleans and creates sound
Removes noise, isolates voices, takes the echo out of churches and the crowd out of speeches. Plus a creative lab: generated music from a description, sound effects and ambiences, classic voice effects.
Respects your work
Your originals are only ever read — never moved, renamed or changed. Nothing is uploaded: footage, voices and faces stay on your machine. Every job can be stopped and resumed.
HOW IT WORKS
From cards to a first cut.
01
Point it at the shoot
Choose the project folder. DAEDAL finds the cameras, the drone and every audio recorder by itself.
02
Let it watch and listen
Analysis, transcription and labeling run locally, in the background, while you do something else.
03
Everything in sync
Cameras and external audio lined up by sound, ready as one timeline.
04
Choose the music
Pick a style and a song; DAEDAL drafts the teaser or the film, in several variants.
05
Finish in Premiere
Import the XML: the cuts, slow motion, sound, color corrections and markers are already there. You do the art.
