Where the build stands

A note from inside the private beta. The panel ships, the match lands on the timeline, and the speed question finally has a measured answer rather than a target.

We said we would not quote speed numbers until they were measured. They are measured now, so here they are.

What runs today

Select the clips on a multicam timeline, pick a reference, press Match. The panel reads the color data from every selected clip and from the reference, sends that data and nothing else to the MOVON server, and the two models compare each clip against the reference. What comes back is one grade per clip, and the panel puts it on your timeline as a single undo step. One Cmd+Z removes the whole pass.

You sign in with a MOVON account and the match needs a connection. Your footage, frames, and project never upload.

The apply step we were still wiring up in the spring is done. There is still an export, for the case where the film finishes in Resolve or Final Cut, but you do not touch it to work on your own cut.

The numbers

Since 16 July, beta users have matched 19,156 clips. The median clip takes 1.2 seconds. The biggest single sitting we have seen was 959 clips.

Put that median on a real timeline. A 40-clip multicam sequence is a couple of minutes of waiting instead of an afternoon of curves. A 200-clip documentary is a coffee.

The counts come from a public endpoint, api.movonlabs.com/auth/public/stats, and they move while people work. No screenshot to take our word for.

What the numbers do not say

They say people use it and that it is quick. They do not say every match was good. Speed is easy to count. Whether a match sits right on your footage is judged by your eye, and we have no counter for that. If a match misses on your material, tell us about that specific clip, because the counter will never surface it.

What's next

Auto / Manual mode and per-clip match confidence. Resolve and Final Cut are in development, with no dates. The roadmap tracks the order things land in.
