Doza Assist Tutorial

The AI Story Collaborator

Turns hours of dialogue-driven footage into rough cuts in your style and sends them straight to Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve, entirely on your Mac.

A Better Way to Work

Transcriptions

Doza Assist gives editors back the days lost to scrubbing dialogue-driven footage: interviews, documentaries, podcasts, panels, keynotes, and event coverage. Drop in camera files or an existing Final Cut Pro library and it transcribes everything on your Mac, labels every speaker, and reads the full transcript the way a story producer would, surfacing the narrative beats, the strongest soundbites with timecode and context, and the cutdowns worth pulling for social.

Doza Assist is built for documentary editors staring down 20 hours of interviews, podcast producers pulling highlights from long recordings, corporate video teams turning executive interviews into same-day rough cuts, agencies managing a distinct voice per brand, and social teams clipping long-form into short-form.

Trained on You

Chat with your agent, matching your style

My Style trains on your own portfolio, the scripts, transcripts, and finished pieces that show how you tell a story, so the rough cuts follow your structure, your pacing, how you open, and what you let breathe. Without a style loaded it works like a competent story producer. With one, the first pass reads like yours. Agencies and studios keep a profile per brand or show, so every rough cut matches the right voice.

Ask for the piece in plain language (“build me a 14-minute cut about leaving home”) and a selects sequence lands in Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve with clips, ranges, and markers intact. The pass that used to take days happens while you get coffee.

Everything On-device

Shot Transcript, all work done on-device

Every part of the pipeline, transcription, speaker identification, and the language model that does the analysis and style matching, runs on-device. Footage never leaves the machine, nothing requires an account, and there are no per-minute meters or hour caps, which matters for NDA'd client work and for anyone cutting daily volume.

After first launch, Doza Assist needs no internet connection at all: it works on location, on a plane, or inside a facility with a locked-down network. If you want frontier-model writing, you can optionally connect your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key, but you never need to. Every feature works fully local.

What’s new in the latest version?

  • Chat is much smarter. It reads the whole interview however long it is, answers in plain words with playable clip cards, offers follow-up questions, knows when not to give clips, and remembers what the editor is making.
  • Correct the transcript in place. Double-click any word to fix it, insert a word the engine missed, split a paragraph, or give a line to a different speaker. Cmd+Z undoes each step. Media timing never changes, so every clip keeps its timecode.
  • Collections work like a project. Check two or more interviews on the Projects page and Create Collection; every tab (Chat, Story Brief, Story Builder, Clips, Export) works across all of them at once.
  • A connector for Claude (MCP). Per project, off by default. One click adds it to Claude Desktop; Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code connect too. A connected assistant can read the switched-on project's transcript and selects, search it, and add its own labeled selects. Media files never leave the Mac. Support note: the access panel states plainly that transcript text goes to Anthropic while it is on.
  • Exports are named for the project and numbered ("Project – Selects 1"), every exported clip carries its words in the note, Story Builder sequences export from the Export tab, and quote sheets use the press format by default.
  • Clips get generated titles, a first line and Show text everywhere, plus a word-level Trim sheet; speakers are named from the transcript after speaker identification, and hand-set speakers survive a re-run.
  • Import multicam clips straight from the Final Cut Pro browser. Select the clips, choose the File > Export XML... command, drop the resulting file in. No scratch timeline needed. An export with several multicams becomes one project per clip.
  • Projects and exports now live in the Doza Assist folder inside your Documents, where they can be backed up and/or synched via iCloud or other cloud storage provider. Existing projects migrate automatically on first launch.
  • Send to FCP now supports the Creator Studio as well as Trial versions of Final Cut Pro
  • Miscellaneous export accuracy and stability fixes (clip selections export exactly what's checked, quit/relaunch hardening).
