Your footage never leaves the machine. macOS, Premiere Pro · signed by MOVON Labs.
MOVON installs a docked panel in Premiere and a local match engine beside it. The whole match (frame analysis, camera grouping, LUT generation) happens on your machine. No upload, no account, no connection required.
MOVON Labs is three people from inside the industry: a director-producer, a director of photography, and a color scientist. The small kind of team where every release decision has a colorist in the room.
The team built MOVON because the work that should be done in an hour kept eating an afternoon. Multi-cam conform, manual matching, the per-clip drift that nobody owns until it hits the suite. The fix existed in fragments (a colorist's muscle memory, a research paper, a half-finished script) but never as one tool that lives inside the editor.
MOVON Labs ships color tools, and edits with them. Every camera profile in the engine is one the team has shot on. Every release ships only after a feature-grade timeline has been cut against it. The plugin runs in Premiere Pro today; DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro are next, in that order, for the same reason — that's where the team works.
The free-through-2027 window is the team's way of testing MOVON against real timelines before charging anyone. If MOVON saves a colorist a conform day, it has earned its rent.
