The problem
Between raw footage and the final cut: hours of execution.
Today, editors still spend a huge amount of time executing. Then doing it all over again.
And when you manage a team, that complexity multiplies.
× projects
Several schedules, several deliveries running in parallel.
× versions
Every round of feedback restarts the same chain of execution.

In development. Full-auto capability is still being built, tested and improved against real-world cases. Our standard: a result you can actually use, not a demo.
The editor’s role is evolving
Less execution. More judgment.

We don’t just want to add AI to the existing workflow. We want to rethink post-production for the AI era.
Our standard
Models judged on real-world results.
Engineering first: built, tested and improved against reality, not benchmarks.
Usefulness01
Real work. Usable results.
AI that produces something people can actually use, within the constraints of their work.
Quality02
An output worth using.
Meet the brief, preserve what matters and satisfy the person who needs it.
Autonomy03
Less work left to you.
Remove the intermediate work between your intent and the result, while keeping the decision in your hands.
Reliability04
Useful beyond a single demo.
Varied inputs, changing constraints, repeated demands: our models have to hold up.
Time & cost05
Results that make sense.
The time, human effort and total cost have to make the workflow worth it.
Who it’s for
Three profiles. One conversation.
Investors
A concrete first market.
A team building specialized models judged on real-world results, starting with post-production.

FAQ
The questions we hear the most.
Will ASTER‑17 replace editors?
No. ASTER‑17 is designed to take over repetitive execution: sorting, cutting, syncing, exporting. The editor’s role evolves toward judgment, creative direction and decision-making.
Where is ASTER‑17 today?
ASTER‑17 is in development. Full-auto capability is being built, tested and improved against real-world cases. Join the waitlist to be the first to follow our progress.
Who stays in control of the result?
You do. ASTER‑17 produces a master; you accept it or reject it. The final decision is always human.
What do I need to provide?
Your footage, your brief and your delivery constraints (format, length, distribution requirements…). ASTER‑17 is designed to handle the rest of post-production.
I run a production company. Can we work together?
Yes. We’re building ASTER‑17 against real production conditions. If you have a workflow, footage or infrastructure to share, book a call: that’s exactly what we’re looking for.
I’m an investor. How can we talk?
Book a call directly with Léo Aurejac, CEO, and Yvan Duaut, CBO, or email us. We’ll walk you through the vision, our progress and the roadmap.
How much will ASTER‑17 cost?
Pricing isn’t public yet. Time, human effort and total cost are part of our spec: a result has to be worth what it costs.
