You're already wearing every hat. Wear fewer.
Filmit.io builds tools for indie filmmakers, solo creators, and no-budget productions. Plugins to make your edit and grade faster today, plus a coming wave of web apps for the producer hat you didn't ask for: estimates, call sheets, crew lists, and release forms.
The Indie Reality
Director, editor, producer, accountant.
When you're running an indie production, you're not just making the work, you're scheduling it, budgeting it, paperworking it, and chasing every signature yourself. The bigger crews have a producer for that. You don't. So you live in spreadsheets, sticky notes, and docs that fall apart by week three.
Estimates from scratch, every time
Every new project starts with a blank spreadsheet. Crew rates, gear, locations, contingency, all tallied by hand, then rebuilt next time because the last one is buried in a Drive folder.
Estimator (web app), coming soon
A crew list that lives in four places
Who's the gaffer? What's their day rate? Did they sign the release? You've got it in a sheet, a notes app, three text threads, and an old email. Then you re-enter it on every call sheet.
Crew List and Call Sheet (web apps), coming soon
Release forms on shoot day
You forgot to print appearance releases. Or you printed them, the talent signed them, and they vanished into a paper folder you'll never find again. Now your edit is legally awkward.
Release Forms (web app), coming soon
Edit-bay friction kills momentum
You finally sit down to cut, then spend the first hour setting up bins, matching the B-cam to the A-cam, and looking up reference instead of cutting. The flow state never arrives.
Organizer, ColorMaster, and GIFer, available now
Available now
Edit-bay tools that pay for themselves on project one
You don't have a post supervisor. You are the post supervisor. These plugins shave time off the parts of cutting and finishing that nobody pays you extra to do. Play each demo to see it work.
RoughCut Pr · Resolve
Hours of interview footage to a real rough cut
Docs, interviews, talking-head, YouTube. RoughCut transcribes every source on your machine, uses AI to order the strongest quotes into a story, and builds a live, editable sequence. It builds the rough cut, so you don't have to. Think of it as the assistant editor you can't afford yet.
- Local transcription, your footage never leaves your computer
- AI orders the best soundbites into a hero cut, cut-downs, and shorts
- Free built-in token, or bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI key
JumpCut Pr · Resolve
Kill the dead air without scrubbing for it
Interview and doc-style footage is buried under pauses, breaths, and umms. JumpCut finds them across the whole timeline and slices them out in one pass, turning a long talking-head dump into a tight assembly while you make coffee.
- Auto-detects silences, breaths, and dead air
- Tune the threshold and padding so cuts breathe right
- Hours of raw footage to a lean cut in minutes
Organizer Ae · Pr
A project file that looks like someone owns it
Solo projects turn into a mess of loose clips and mystery layers fast. Organizer scaffolds a clean structure, renames and sorts in bulk, and finds the duplicates and dead comps, so you spend your time cutting, not spelunking.
- One-click bins and folder structure for every project
- Bulk rename, sort, and label
- Find duplicates and dead comps to keep it lean
GIFer Pr · Ae · Resolve
Reference and cutaways, without the browser detour
Search Giphy from inside your editor and drop clean clips straight onto the timeline as ready-to-use footage. Reaction shots for a YouTube cut, visual reference for a transition, a punchline for the socials, all without leaving the edit.
- Browse and search Giphy in-panel
- Drop GIFs onto the timeline as clean clips
- Great for YouTube, socials, and reference targets

Coming soon
The producer hat, finally automated

Crew List
Web AppA live roster of every collaborator you've worked with. Rates, contacts, and paperwork status in one place.

Beyond the panels
We don't stop at plugins
Your subscription also unlocks a growing library of 45+ native GPU effects and transitions, looks and moves you drop straight onto a clip in After Effects, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve. And the library keeps growing, because we build from real feedback. Message us anytime on Discord or through our contact form, tell us what you need, and we will literally build it. We're indies building for indies.
A real indie day
From email to final master, on your own
A short film, a passion project, a low-budget commercial. The workflow is the same. You wear five hats and you need each one to take less time than it used to.
Spec the project
Use Estimator, when it ships, to put together a real budget from a saved template. Send a proper number, not a back-of-napkin guess.
Lock the crew
Pull from your Crew List. Day rates, contact info, and paperwork are all there. No re-asking the gaffer for their email.
Shoot day, on paper
Generate a Call Sheet with locations and scene order. Capture Release Forms on a phone instead of a clipboard you'll lose.
Ingest and organize
Drop footage into Premiere, Resolve, or After Effects. Run Organizer and Sourcer. Bins are clean, missing media gets linked, and you start on the actual cut.
Cut and color
RoughCut for interview assembly, JumpCut for pacing. ColorMaster and LUT Manager for a starting grade. GIFer when you need reference. Titles via TextPilot.
Deliver and archive
Send the master, file the paperwork, log the project. When the next gig calls, the template is already there.
Why we built this
Made by indies, for indies
A note from the team
We're indie filmmakers. We built Filmit.io because we couldn't find tools priced for the way we actually work: solo, scrappy, low-budget, often unpaid.
We're a mission-driven indie company, and the money we make goes back into more tools, more affordable pricing, and more support for the next creator behind us.
You buy the suite. We build the next thing.
That's the whole loop.
