Wideframe is a Mac app that acts as an AI assistant editor: it indexes your footage, finds clips by description and builds bins, stringouts and rough cuts as native Premiere Pro projects. It is for editors who cut in Premiere on an Apple Silicon Mac. It costs $100 a month during beta, with a 7-day trial that needs a card.
The bottom line
Worth a trial for Premiere editors drowning in footage; skip it if you cut in Resolve or Final Cut or work on Windows.
6 - unlimited use for $100 a month is fair for working editors, but it is a beta price and there is no free tier.
Ease of use7/10
7 - plain-language requests and ready-made skills, but indexing a library takes time and Premiere is required.
Ecosystem4/10
4 - Premiere Pro only and Apple Silicon Macs only, though it reads local and cloud storage.
Support5/10
5 - skills library and direct email contact with an early-stage team; no published support tiers.
What it really is
A Mac assistant editor that turns raw footage into organized, ready-to-cut Premiere Pro projects.
Our take
Wideframe targets the slow part of editing that nobody bills for: logging, sorting and first assemblies. Handing back native Premiere projects keeps editors in the tool they already use. The limits are strict: Apple Silicon Mac only, Premiere only, a card-required trial and a price that is explicitly temporary.
Why we rate it
It automates prep work that takes editors hours and returns it in Premiere's own format.
The catch
Mac-only, Premiere-only, card-required trial, and beta pricing that may change.
Best for
Premiere Pro editors with large footage libraries
Interview and multicam projects
Agencies speeding up first assemblies
Not good for
Windows users
DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut editors
Casual creators on a small budget
Friction report
Time to value
Hours: install on an Apple Silicon Mac, point it at footage and let it index before asking for selects.

Walled garden
High: output targets Premiere Pro only, and the app runs only on Apple Silicon Macs.
