Threadline Studio is the AI Assistant Editor for professional video production. Based in San Francisco, CA.

We are solving the biggest bottleneck in post-production.

Professional editors spend too much of their time on technical work that isn't editing: scrubbing through hours of raw interview footage, logging selects, managing files, and assembling timelines before the creative work can begin. Existing AI tools try to solve this by editing text transcripts or generating viral clips based on keywords. But pros know that keywords don't tell a story; delivery does.

How We Are Different:

Threadline is the first Narrative Engine for video. Our proprietary AI doesn't just read the transcript; it analyzes intonation, pacing, and story structure. It listens to how something is said, not just what is said.

The Workflow:

Upload: Raw interview footage + a brief description.

Analyze: Our Agentic AI constructs a narrative arc based on professional editing logic.

Export: Receive an edit-ready XML file in minutes, natively compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro.

Our Mission:
To eliminate the technical drudgery of post-production so professional editors can focus on the art of storytelling. We're starting with the first cut and building toward a full AI-powered post-production assistant.

The Team:

Threadline was founded by Jacinto Salz, a commercial Director and Producer at OPN ROADS Media, and Bradley Smith, a Founding Engineer at Tavus (YC S21). We are the "User + Builder" team combining deep industry domain expertise with scalable AI infrastructure.

Currently in private beta with professional editors and producers.
