[ STATION / DOCUMENTARY POST ]

Documentary interview capture that lands edit-ready in your NLE.

Per-source stems, 32-bit float WAV for the audio post, FCP XML + AAF interchange for the conform. Local-first capture so a transatlantic interview doesn't die when the subject's hotel WiFi does.

[ THE PROBLEM ]

Documentary post inherits problems made on set .

Remote interviews recorded on Zoom

Compressed audio that needs aggressive cleanup. A single track with three voices mixed-down. Subject's video at 480p. The 'interview' is salvageable -- but your post engineer bills hours fighting it.

Files arrive in pieces, late

Subject records locally on their phone, emails the WAV the next day. Your producer transcribes timecodes from a Google Doc. Your assistant editor relinks by hand. Two weeks lost to handoff.

Source Connect for everything

Works for the studio talent who has it installed and licensed. Doesn't work for the elderly historian, the prison-call interview, the field correspondent with marginal LTE. The tool blocks the story.

[ THE ANSWER ]

What CraterSync gives documentary post instead.

Browser-native for the subject

Send a link. Subject opens it in Chrome on their laptop or phone. They're recording in 90 seconds. No install, no license, no IT support call. The friction was never your side.

Per-source isolated stems

Director on one track. Subject on another. Producer on a third. The post engineer gets stems ready for the audio mix -- no de-mixing, no bleed reduction, no surprises.

FCP XML + AAF interchange

Export the conform straight into Resolve, Premiere, or Avid. Your assistant editor relinks once; the rest of post inherits the structure.

Per-track timecode anchors

Wall-clock anchored capture timestamps per track. The audio post conform can sync against a known frame; no clap track required.

Multi-camera + secondary-mic

Subject's B-cam, director's safety mic, ambient capture -- each gets its own stem. Export the full slate or just the primary; both are bit-perfect.

Audit log for unedited material

Every view, export, share of raw material is logged. When legal or the network asks for the chain on a sensitive interview, you have an answer.

[ RUN THE PILOT ]

Capture a real interview before the next shoot day.

Pick Studio ($299/mo), book a remote interview with your hardest-to-pin-down subject, export to your NLE. Drop the stems into Resolve and let your post lead judge the workflow -- the footage makes the case.

[ NOT A FIT IF... ]

We're a bad fit if.

--You shoot every interview in-person with field recorders and slates. You have a great workflow already; we're solving a remote problem you don't have today.
--You need real-time picture-locked monitoring across continents. Today we're built for clean tracking + review, not live-cut sessions.
--Your interviews are entirely scripted reads with no Q&A. Voiceover Sessions is a better fit; this page is for capture-conversational work.
