Meet HiHo, a documentary story editing tool that
pulls out the goodies so you can focus on other goodies.
For Resolve, Premiere, and Final Cut.
HiHo plugs into the app you already cut in. Pull a timeline straight out of Resolve, Final Cut, or Premiere — no export, no render. Or just drop files.
The AI reads every word, clusters themes, and scores moments. Story structure emerges in seconds.
Talk to your timeline. Merge, rename, restructure — all through plain conversation.
Send the cut straight back to Resolve or Final Cut — or export FCPXML, XML, EDL, SRT, and a screenplay PDF.
Paste your paper edit — HiHo matches every quote and builds the timeline.
Send timelines from Final Cut, Premiere, or Resolve without leaving them.
Every camera and recorder lands in sync, on its own track.
Reorder, trim, merge, split — all through plain conversation.
Editorial notes ride into your timeline as markers you can act on.
Only extracted audio and transcript reach the AI — never your video.
An hour means an hour of media, not an hour of your time. Start free, no card required. Cancel whenever. Nothing renews without you.
You found it.

HiHo started as a frustration. After years of burning days and weeks scrubbing through hours of footage, we decided the problem wasn’t the editor. It was the tools.
Story mining is the practice of finding the narrative inside raw material. Every interview contains a story. The challenge is surfacing it without drowning in hours of footage. HiHo applies large language models to this specific problem: not general summarization, but structural story analysis designed for how documentary editors actually think.
Your footage is yours. Video files never leave your Mac. HiHo extracts the audio, transcribes it, and sends only the transcript text to the AI for story analysis. Editing, sync, and every export run on your machine.
HiHo is macOS only, currently in beta. We’re building for the editors who take their craft seriously.
