The short version: to run a match, MOVON Match sends color data to MOVON's AI on MOVON's servers and brings back the finished match. Your footage, your frame images, and your project never leave your machine, only the color data needed to build the match does. This document explains what that means, and what the movonlabs.com website does separately.
Your footage stays on your machine
MOVON Match installs a docked panel in Premiere. When Analyze runs, the plugin reads color from the timeline and sends that color data to MOVON's AI on MOVON's servers, which builds the match and returns the finished match. Your footage, your frame images, and your project data are never uploaded. Only the color data needed for the match leaves your machine.
An account and a connection
The match runs on MOVON's servers, so the beta uses your MOVON account and an internet connection. When you sign in, MOVON Labs stores your email, a device identifier for each machine you connect from, and a record of each match you run (how many clips, when, on which device). This runs your account, enforces plan limits, and counts credits, not to study how you edit. MOVON sends only the color data needed to build the match, never your footage or project.
What MOVON Match does not do
MOVON does not track how you edit: no timeline contents, panel clicks, or session recordings leave your machine. It does not upload your footage, your frame images, or your project files, and does not read scratch disks or clips outside the timeline being analyzed. It does keep a count of the matches you run, because that is how credits work.
The website is separate
movonlabs.com is an ordinary marketing site. If a visitor submits the email signup form, MOVON Labs stores that email address to send beta and launch news. Nothing else. The email can be removed at any time by writing to hello@movonlabs.com.
Website cookies and analytics
movonlabs.com sets no advertising cookies and loads no third-party trackers. Privacy-respecting analytics (Plausible or similar) may be used. It counts page views in aggregate, not individual visitors. See the Cookies document for the full list.
A cloud option, later
An optional cloud match engine is on the roadmap for after launch. If it ships, it will be exactly that: optional, off by default, and described in a revised version of this document before anyone can turn it on.
