Description

What is ContextLab?

ContextLab is an AI-powered editing toolkit for Adobe Premiere Pro that helps editors cut faster, smarter, and with greater narrative depth — by understanding the story, not just the timeline.

It intelligently analyzes video structure and spoken content, interprets client feedback, detects takes and pauses, and turns it all into context-aware edits. Every feature is built to eliminate repetitive tasks and accelerate the path from cut to publish — so you stay in your creative flow.

Who is it for?

ContextLab is built for editors, creators, and teams who work with narrative, interviews, or structured feedback.

  • Video editors — streamline review rounds and save hours on trimming and takes.
  • Documentary editors — organize long interviews with narrative clarity.
  • Short-form creators — instantly generate highlight cuts for reels and socials.
  • Content studios — scale feedback integration and maintain consistency across iterations.
  • Freelancers — look pro, work fast, and respond to clients in record time.

What will your audience experience?

  • Clearer storytelling: Context-aware edits preserve intent, emotion, and flow.
  • More engaging content: Awkward pauses, redundant takes, and filler are removed — viewers stay focused.
  • Smart captions and cues: Viewers get extra clarity from auto-added definitions, references, and quotes.
  • Faster delivery: Short-form content and highlights are generated instantly, keeping your content pipeline moving.
  • Professional polish: From branded MOGRTs to perfectly timed cuts, your edits feel intentional and sharp.

Narrative Assist

Understand your story — not just your words.

NarrativeAssist keeps captions clear, readable, and perfectly synced with your edit.

It follows industry timing standards from broadcast and documentary production — ensuring each caption stays long enough to be read twice, with natural pacing and rhythm.

  • Readable timing — balanced duration and smooth flow.
  • Professional rhythm — based on real production practice, not guesswork.
  • Adaptive pacing — aligns with your edit’s tone and tempo.

Context Engine

Analyzes speech, detects topics, terms, names, and context shifts to decide what deserves a caption and what form it should take.

Narrative Captions

Automatically generates contextual captions — definitions, references, quotes, and cultural notes.

MOGRT Mapping

Connects generated captions to your existing motion graphics templates.

Adaptive Duration

Each caption stays long enough to be read twice — plus padding for in/out animation.

Density Control

NarrativeAssist uses professional broadcast and documentary timing principles to maintain optimal pacing and screen clarity — so the narrative always feels effortless to follow.

Advanced Analysis Settings Coming Soon

Adjust tone, complexity, and focus of captions to match your audience and production style. Includes fine-tuning for audience profile, language style, caption types, explanation length, and cultural focus.

Feedback Flow

Automate client feedback. Keep the flow.

  • Smart import: Upload DOCX, TXT, or CSV — even unformatted feedback works.
  • Context grouping: Comments are clustered by meaning and intent.
  • Auto-marker placement: Timeline markers appear where they're needed — no manual syncing.
  • Iterative editing: Each feedback round creates a new version. No overwrites. Full history.

Timeline Sync

Two-way sync between timeline and comments — select a marker to scroll to the note, or click a note to jump to its timeline position.

Iterations

Each round of feedback generates a new sequence version with history preserved.

To-Do Checklist

Check off completed edits, revert anytime. Easily manage ongoing changes.

Marker Tracking

Edits in one view update the other. Move a marker? The comment moves too — and vice versa.

AutoTrim

Remove or isolate timeline segments based on tagged zones like "Delete" or "Keep" — one click trims it.

AutoPlace Coming Soon

Automatically places graphics, titles, and lower thirds on the timeline based on context.

Performance Assist

Coming Soon

Automates cleanup and scene selection with a pair of smart detectors.

Take Detector: Automatically finds repeated takes, selects the best one, and places it on the timeline — preserving story continuity.

Break Detector: Removes awkward pauses, dead air, and irrelevant segments to restore natural pacing and flow.

HighlightGen

Coming Soon

HighlightGen analyzes your content and automatically generates short-form edits that pack a narrative punch — perfect for trailers, teasers, vertical content, and social media.

  • Story-driven clips: Detects moments with clear beginning, middle, and end — not just random highlights.
  • Context-aware selection: Uses transcribed speech and markers to extract the most meaningful segments.
  • Platform-ready output: Generates 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9 edits tailored for Reels, Shorts, TikTok, and more.
  • Smart trimming: Removes filler, pauses, and off-topic content to make each clip sharp and engaging.
  • Visual continuity: Maintains rhythm and flow so your highlights don’t feel like rough cuts.
