Import folders, let AI do the heavy lifting, search everything
Point ClipCatalog at any folder on your PC or external drive. It processes every clip locally — generating thumbnails, detected content, speech transcripts, and optional face data — so you can browse and find footage in seconds.
Find the exact clip — no matter how you remember it
Whether you recall what was on screen, what someone said, or who was in the shot, ClipCatalog has a filter for it. Switch All/Any when combining multiple terms.
Search by what's in the shot
ClipCatalog's AI watches every clip and automatically detects scenes, objects, and actions — cars, beaches, interviews, celebrations, you name it. Type what you're looking for and matching clips surface instantly. No manual labeling required.
Find clips by what was said
Every word spoken in your footage becomes searchable. ClipCatalog transcribes audio locally using state-of-the-art speech recognition, so you can type a spoken word and jump straight to the moment — perfect for pulling sound bites, interview quotes, or voiceover takes.
Find every appearance of a person
Face recognition groups appearances automatically across your entire library. Need every clip featuring a guest or collaborator? Select their face and get every matching video in one click — no scrubbing through timelines.
Smart footage type
ClipCatalog uses smart heuristics to classify every clip as dialog, voiceover, or scenic. Instantly filter by footage type to find exactly the kind of shot you need — no manual labeling required.
Highlight Score
A smart heuristic ranks your clips by how engaging they are — so the most exciting footage floats to the top. Spend less time previewing and more time editing the good stuff.
Drone footage detection
Automatically identifies aerial shots across your library. Quickly limit results to drone or non-drone footage without manually labeling a single file.
Technical filters
Filter by recording date, clip length, resolution, frame rate, horizontal vs. vertical, audio/no-audio, and more. Narrow thousands of clips down to exactly what fits your project specs.
