What does the Max Editor subscription include?

It includes the full editor, project orchestration, metadata and lightweight proxy backup, and access to the local Companion that runs heavy processing on your own machine.

Are there export minute limits or credits?

There is no per-exported-minute charge. Because transcription, stabilization, reframing and rendering run on your machine through the Companion, processing more hours does not create extra compute charges.

What is BYOK and what does it cost separately?

BYOK means you connect your own OpenAI key for semantic features. You pay those tokens directly to the provider at list price, with no Max Editor markup, and you can verify usage in your own account.

When is this pricing model NOT a good fit?

If you cannot install the Companion on your team machines and need a fully managed cloud service, a credit-based model from another vendor may fit better.

Max Editor pricing: one subscription, no render surprises

You pay a flat monthly subscription and heavy work runs on your own machine through the Companion, so exporting more hours does not grow the bill. AI features use the OpenAI API with BYOK, at list price and with no hidden markup.

How Max Editor charges and what it actually includes

This page explains exactly what you pay for, what runs on your machine, and what is billed separately, so you can estimate real cost before subscribing.

Real problem

Most AI video tools scale price with exported minutes or consumed credits, and the true cost only shows up at the end of the month.

How Max Editor solves it

The subscription covers the editor and project orchestration. Heavy processing (transcription, proxies, stabilization, reframing and export) runs on your hardware through the local Companion, and semantic features use your own OpenAI key via BYOK with no markup over list price.

How to estimate your cost

Pick the monthly plan that matches your team size.
Install the Companion on the machines that will process: that compute is not billed separately.
Connect your OpenAI key with BYOK if you use semantic features, and pay those tokens to the provider at list price.

Expected outcome

A stable monthly bill even as volume grows.
No credits or export minutes that run out.
AI cost visible and verifiable in your own account.

What is Max Editor

You recorded an hour-long show. Walk out with the clean cut and the vertical clips, without editing a timeline.

Max Editor transcribes, finds the best moments, removes filler and repetition, builds the sequences and reframes them to vertical with captions. You edit by deleting words. The heavy lifting runs on your PC or your Android: no credits, no cloud minutes.

Import & transcribe. Drag in your video or paste a YouTube link. It's transcribed word by word on your own PC or phone, with exact per-word timing.
AI builds your sequences. The editor reads the script and proposes ready-made thematic sequences: it groups the best moments by topic, with no manual assembly.
Refine by text. Delete fillers, silences and repetitions by selecting text. AI cleanup trims the video for you, keeping the pace.
Reframe, captions & export. Vertical 9:16 reframe tracking the subject, 24 caption styles, AI-suggested B-roll and batch export. Ready for YouTube, TikTok or Reels.
