WORKFLOW SOFTWARE FOR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS & VIDEOGRAPHERS
Hootio handles two of the slowest parts of a professional media workflow—from safely importing the shoot to building the first multicam edit.
TWO PRODUCTS · ONE WORKFLOW
Use each product on its own, or connect them into one calmer path from the first camera card to the first edit.
INGEST & BACKUP
Move photos, video and companion files from a card into date-organised workspaces, with verified backups built into the same workflow.
AI MULTICAM EDITING
Turn a full-day multicamera shoot into a synchronised, chaptered and largely edited timeline—ready for your creative finish.
FROM CARD TO FINAL CUT
Hootio focuses on the repeatable technical work around your edit. Your judgement, pacing and creative style stay yours.
Smart Import separates photo and video, organises by capture date and mirrors optional backups.
Exact matches and backups are checked by file content, not just a reassuring progress bar.
VideoBot synchronises the project, builds chapters and creates a first-pass multicam edit.

Built by a wedding photographer and videographer who got tired of losing nights to repetitive work.
BUILT FROM REAL INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE
Hootio was created by Brendan, an Australian wedding photographer, videographer and editor with more than 12 years in the industry.
The goal is simple: give working creatives back the hours spent on sorting, checking and first-pass technical decisions—without replacing the judgement that makes the work theirs.
