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, AI tags, 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 adds AI tags for 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 word or phrase and find every clip where it was said, highlighted in the transcript. Perfect for pulling sound bites, interview quotes, or voiceover takes.
Natural-language search
Describe the shot you want in plain language instead of guessing exact tags. ClipCatalog's natural-language search lets you adjust semantic strictness, sort by relevance, and move from broad scene descriptions to the right clips faster.
Find the videos a person appears in
Face recognition groups recurring faces into people as your library syncs. Need the clips featuring a guest or collaborator? Select their face and see the videos where they are clearly visible, with no scrubbing through timelines.
Smart footage type
ClipCatalog estimates how much of each clip is dialogue, voiceover or scenic from its transcript, the faces on screen and how much the picture changes. Filter by footage type to find the kind of shot you need, with no manual labeling. A clip gets its footage type once face detection, AI tagging and, for clips with sound, transcription have processed it.
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.
Your drone footage, one filter away
Drones label their own footage. ClipCatalog reads the model and flight data drones write into each original clip, so the Drone filter shows your drone footage and No Drone shows everything else. No manual labeling. Want aerial-looking shots from any camera, or drone clips exported from an editing app? Describe them in natural-language search.
How each filter decides →

Or copy matches to any folder
Prefer to collect files first? Copy all matching clips to a location of your choice — great for handing off footage to collaborators or building project-specific folders.
Built for serious footage libraries
Whether you have a few hundred clips or terabytes of raw footage across dozens of drives, ClipCatalog handles it.
Large library support
Import many terabytes of video into the app. Lightning-fast thumbnail browsing with smart caching keeps everything responsive, even at massive scale.
360° video support
Analyze 360-degree footage straight from your camera. ClipCatalog recognizes native .insv, .360 and .osv files by their file type and stitched equirectangular clips by their 360° metadata, and a dedicated 360° filter brings them together.

Connect external drives or SD cards — ClipCatalog remembers them. Search and plan edits even when the drive is disconnected, then plug it back in when you're ready to use the files. NAS shares and mapped network drives work the same way. Learn more →
