Workflow
AI Video NLE Export
You generated the shots. Now you need them in Premiere, DaVinci, or Final Cut as a real timeline — not a folder of MP4s with mismatched frame rates that your editor has to re-link by hand. Astorie exports your canvas sequence as an NLE-ready timeline, codec and cadence aligned to your project, ready for grade and final mix.
What this feature solves
Most AI video tools dead-end at MP4. You generate a clip, download it, generate the next one, download it, and end up with a folder of unrelated files that your editor has to drag into a timeline one by one. Frame rates do not match, codecs are inconsistent, color spaces are unpredictable. The post-production team spends more time fixing the handoff than they would spend cutting the spot from real footage.
Even worse, the lineage is gone. Once a clip is sitting in Premiere as a flat MP4, your editor cannot ask 'what model produced this, what was the prompt, can we re-render at higher resolution?' The link between the canvas and the timeline is broken at export, which means every revision request becomes a from-scratch regeneration instead of a parameter tweak.
Production budgets do not survive this friction. Agencies costing AI video into a real campaign expect the same handoff discipline as live-action: timeline-aware exports, consistent codec and frame rate, color spaces editors can grade. Without that, AI work stays trapped in social-only deliverables and never graduates to broadcast or premium digital.
