Desktop video editor: questions, answered

How do I edit video with a desktop video editor?

Download Montage for your Mac and sign in with your Montage account. Drop your footage: Montage reads it where it is, on your computer, so you start at once. Say what you want, comment on the picture to change it, then export: your computer's own chip makes the file.

Which computers does it run on?

A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later) on macOS 13 or later. Montage for Windows is coming soon.

I have a Mac with an Intel chip.

Montage for Mac is made for Apple silicon. On an Intel Mac, Montage works in your browser, with the same account.

Do I need another account?

No. Sign in with your Montage account: your videos, comments and styles are the same in the app and on the web.

Do my files leave my computer?

Your originals stay on your computer. Montage saves a light copy to your account, so your videos open anywhere.

Is it free?

The app is free to download. It uses your Montage plan and credits, as on the web.

How a desktop video editor skips the upload,
and why you never wait

A guide · 3 min read

Why uploads take so long

Camera files are heavy: a few minutes of 4K can weigh gigabytes. In a browser, every take has to be sent before you can edit it, and a whole card can take hours on a home connection.

What the app does

The app reads your takes where they are, on your computer, with its own video tools. You drop a whole card and start at once: the preview plays, Montage listens to what is said and looks at every shot, and a light copy saves to your account behind, while you already describe your video.

Every format plays

ProRes from a camera, HEVC and HDR from an iPhone: the app reads them all on your Mac, so nothing waits for a conversion.

The export, made by your computer

When you export, your computer's own video chip makes the file from your originals, at their full size. Pick MP4, ProRes or H.265 10-bit, and keep HDR as HDR.

The same Montage

Sign in with your Montage account. Your videos, comments and styles are the same in the app and on the web, and your client still comments with one link.

Install it

  • Mac: open the Montage .dmg from your Downloads, drag Montage into Applications, and open it.
  • Windows: coming soon. Until then, Montage works in your browser.

Tips

  • Keep your original files where they are until the video is out: the export reads them.
  • Drop every take you might use, not only the good ones: Montage finds the best line.
