Make the video. Keep your tools.

Craneshot takes a project from brief to finished cut: your brand, a shot list, generated takes and client review. Then it hands an editable timeline to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro, with every source file and trim intact.

Craneshot is in private beta and opens to new people in small batches.

One project, brief to cut.

Most AI video tools stop at a clip. Craneshot keeps the whole production together, and each step shows its status the way a set does.

Start from your brand
Scouting
Paste your website. Craneshot reads your colors, type and voice and drafts a brand for you to approve. Every take after that is made with it.
Plan the shots
Standing by
Describe the piece. The assistant drafts a shot list in camera language: framing, lens, movement and light. Change any line before anything rolls.
Roll the takes
Rolling
Generate stills and video on the models you choose, with your own provider keys. Try variations side by side and keep the takes that work.
Review with your client
In review
Share a link. Your client comments and approves an exact version, so the file you deliver is the one they signed off.
Hand off the cut
Wrapped
Assemble the edit with sound and captions, then export a finished file or an editable project for the editor your team already uses.

Finish where you already finish.

Craneshot doesn’t ask your editor to switch. It packages the cut for their suite and tells you, before you export, anything their app can’t carry.

For people who make video for a living.

Independent creatives

One person with the output of a small crew. Brand, shots, takes and client notes stay in one project instead of ten tabs.

Small marketing and ad teams

Go from a campaign brief to finished spots without booking a shoot for every cutdown. Review and approval are built in.

Creative studios

Animatics, previs and pitch films that hold up in front of a client, and an edit your finishing team opens in their own suite.

Your keys, your spend

Connect your own model provider keys. Usage bills to your accounts, under a monthly budget you set and can pause.

Approvals point at a file

Every version carries a content fingerprint. An approval is for that exact file, and delivery checks it.

Your brand rides along

Each run records the approved brand version it used, and your brand fonts carry through to the export.
