Find the exact clip you need
ClipCatalog turns your video folders into a searchable library. Whether you need to find a person by face, locate a clip by what someone said, or search by what's in the shot — everything runs locally on your computer, across every drive you own.
What do you need to find?
Find every appearance of a specific person
You know someone is in your footage but not which files. Face search finds every clip a person appears in — across years of videos on multiple drives, including footage outside your phone's photo library.
Search clips by what someone said
You remember a keyword or phrase spoken on camera. Transcript search indexes every word locally using speech recognition, so you can jump to the exact moment — no cloud upload needed.
Describe a shot and find matching footage
You remember a sunset, a street scene, or a specific object but not the filename. Describe what you're looking for in plain language and ClipCatalog finds visually matching clips.
Auto-tag videos by what's on screen
Manually labeling hundreds of clips isn't realistic. ClipCatalog's AI watches each video and detects objects, scenes, and actions automatically — cars, beaches, interviews, celebrations.
Organize footage across multiple drives
Your footage lives on internal drives, external SSDs, NAS, and old backup disks. ClipCatalog indexes them all into one searchable library — and keeps the catalog searchable even when a drive is unplugged.
Workflow guides by audience
Each guide shows how ClipCatalog fits a specific type of footage library, with step-by-step workflows and real examples.
