Sequence gets the hard work done.

Every tool you need between your camera and your timeline.

Variants

Create multiple versions from the same source media, useful for social platform cuts, A/B testing, or a director's cut, without duplicating your files.
Catalogs

Organise your projects exactly how you work, by client, year, channel, or any structure that suits you.
Audio Normalisation

Tune your media’s audio with LUFS adjustments and compression, achieving the optimal loudness for your target destination (such as YouTube, Instagram or Broadcast TV) using the BS.1770-4 loudness measurement.
Remux & Conversion

Automatically detect and convert media that may not be compatible with Final Cut Pro or other editing packages, so your footage is ready before you import.
Metadata Viewer

Easily inspect each media file’s metadata, including HDR, Dolby Vision, colour space (Rec.709 / Rec.2020 / DCI-P3), and more.
Transcription

On-device, offline transcription using CoreML acceleration, tuned for Apple Silicon to achieve rapid results with support for 25 European languages.
Text-Based Editing

Read your footage like a script. Hide sentences, reorder clips, and correct transcriptions. All without modifying your original media. Works hand-in-hand with Variants for multi-cut workflows.
Filler Removal

Clean up your content by hiding filler words, removing the ums and ers to achieve a cleaner edit automatically.
Profanity Filter

Skip, beep, or redact profanity, with your own custom redaction symbol. Keep your content family-friendly exactly the way you want it.
Global Search

Search across everything; transcripts, file formats, variant names, and catalog. Surface exactly the clip you need, even if it's buried in footage from months ago.
Export To FCP

Manage and prep in Sequence, then apply finishing touches in Final Cut Pro, enhancing and speeding up your existing workflow.
Captions

Transcription is converted into Final Cut Pro titles, ready for you to apply your favourite title presets and build on your existing workflow.
Markers

Mark your timeline with sponsor/ad breaks, music track splits, scene cuts or any custom sections. These appear in FCP on export.

Does Sequence…

Your questions, answered.

What is Sequence Tool?

Sequence Tool is a native macOS app to help your content media workflows. It’s your pre-export toolkit for Final Cut Pro, helping you prepare and work with media before you add your final brand polish in FCP.

What transcription model does Sequence use?

Sequence uses NVIDIA’s Parakeet v3, one of the most accurate speech recognition models available. We’ve converted it to Core ML so it runs entirely on your Mac using Apple’s Neural Engine, CPU and GPU, meaning transcription is fast, efficient, and completely private with no audio ever leaving your device.

What Mac hardware and macOS version do I need?

Sequence requires macOS Sequoia 15 or later and Apple Silicon, that means from M1 onwards only.
