The Problem

OTHER TOOLS FIND THE WORDS.
FOLIO FINDS THE STORY.

Most tools export technically correct cuts. They don't know that you open cold on a strong vow line, or that you always build toward the moment the room breaks.

Folio learns how you edit from your own past films and makes suggestions that actually sound like you.

Other ToolsFolio
Manual speaker count setupSpeakers identified automatically. No setup required.

FOUR STEPS.
ONE EXPORT.

AUDIO OR
TRANSCRIPT

Drop in your audio and Folio transcribes it. Speakers identified automatically. Or bring your own transcript from your NLE. Either way works.

FOLIO BUILDS
THE PLAN

It reads the speech, finds the lines worth keeping, and builds the act structure the day calls for around them, shaped by your editorial style, not a generic script.

IT LEARNS
HOW YOU
EDIT.

Every plan Folio builds is shaped by your editorial instincts. How you open. What you cut. How you pace emotion against comedy. The more weddings you run through it, the more the output sounds like the films you already make.

WHAT YOU GET

A timeline that sounds like you.

Act IWho they are
00:00:34:22
Strategy
Establish character through the people who know them best, not through them.
VO Pull
JAMES — BEST MAN SPEECH
“He was monetizing the dirt while the rest of us were playing in it.”
One line. It defines him faster than a paragraph could.
Visual Note
B-roll of groom with groomsmen. Lean on the candid getting-ready shots.
Act IIHow they found their way back
00:02:01:17
Strategy
The story needs a turn. Use the moment that reframed everything for them.
VO Pull
FATHER OF BRIDE — SPEECH
“After all these years, you found your way back to each other. That tells me this is something special.”
Let this breathe. Hold 1.5 beats after the line before cutting away.
Visual Note
Cut to ceremony wide as he finishes. Let the room carry the emotion.
Act IIIThe room they built
00:04:24:20
Strategy
Earn the warmth. This act is where the film exhales.
VO Pull
HELEN — MAID OF HONOUR
“You've created a home where the door is always open, the wine is always poured.”
End of paragraph. Drop the next two lines, they dilute it.
Visual Note
Reception B-roll: guests laughing, candles, the table details.
FOLIO
The story Folio builds is genuinely strong. Being able to set my own acts and have it build the film around them is what sold me. It's like starting with a first cut instead of a blank timeline.

QUESTIONS
WORTH ANSWERING.

Yes. Folio exports XML sequences that open directly in Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, and DaVinci Resolve, and you get the same artifact whichever of the three you edit in. On Pro and above every VO clip is pre-cut and placed when you open the file; Core opens your synced timeline with every VO moment marked.
Three ways, and they do not all reach the same place. For a timeline you can open in your NLE: a synced sequence XML plus the dialogue audio from that same sequence. Folio transcribes it and identifies speakers automatically. Audio alone or your own .txt transcript also work and give you the full edit plan, but only the synced sequence carries the source references Folio needs to place clips on a timeline.
Folio learns your style from your finished films. When a build lands the way you'd cut it, save it to your style, and your guide gets sharper each time you rebuild it.
Each VO pull is cut at the word timings from your transcript, trimmed to the sentence rather than the surrounding segment, with a six-frame pad either side so the breath isn't cut off. Give the edges a quick look in your editor, as you would with any assembly.
Yes. Any audio works: ceremony, speeches, or both together. Folio treats the whole day as its source material.
Most tools transcribe your audio and build a generic story script. Folio builds a timeline shaped by how you specifically edit: your style profile, your pacing, your structure. The output sounds like your films, not a template.

ALREADY WORK.

"I cut everything in Resolve, and the panel means I never export a thing by hand. I send the timeline, and it comes back with the voiceover story already laid out."
