Import a copy and leave the working source alone
Media Mill copies the selected video or audio file into a new Library item. The file in its original folder is not moved or edited, and later Actions create new outputs rather than modifying the imported source copy.
Turn interviews and research recordings into working material
- Search every interview transcript for a topic or phrase.
- Create a research brief from each source before writing a treatment.
- Generate consistent notes with a custom AI Action that follows the production's own questions.
- Export Markdown documents to the project folder when the research phase is done.
Use text to narrow the edit before opening a timeline
Select Highlights can propose chronological keep ranges from spoken material. Review the Edit Plan, then use Cut for a rough derivative or carry the timestamps into the editor you already use. Media Mill is not a replacement for a full editing timeline.
Keep private footage on the production Mac
After the required models and engines are installed, transcription, AI documents, search, captions, cuts, conversion, and audio cleanup run locally. The footage does not need an Untitled Apps processing server because no such media service exists.
