Built for content creators, video editors, journalists, and video production companies. Search hours of footage instantly. No cloud. No switching your editing software
I'm Ilias, a content creator and software developer. I've been creating content on YouTube for more than 3 years (80 videos, with an average duration of 1 hour). It's become harder for me to find video files and moments
After I got a bill from Google Video API for a couple of video analyses, about 450$ (couple of videos).
So I built a local-first tool that: * Transcribes your footage on-device * Analyzes frames: faces, objects, scenes, and text on screen * Indexes everything so you can search in plain language ("find me when I'm at my desk looking excited") Now, you can search using natural language to find the exact moment using local AI models. I don't wanna upload my videos to the cloud to get them indexed.
description-as-search is the right framing for video, the failure mode is usually recall not precision. you describe "the bit where she laughs" and the system finds something close enough that you stop searching and miss the actual clip. how does edit mind surface "not sure, here are 3 candidates" vs just picking the top match? congratulations on your launch, good luck :)
Love the concept as I have about 20TB of videos to search and sort through. Congrats on your launch. Besides adding to the integration with the various editing programs, what is on your upcoming roadmap for the foreseeable future?
The whole picture looks like an intro from the series "Lie to Me" with Tim Roth. Detecting micro facial expressions etc. :)
Can the user select multiple found moments and send them as a batch to the editing timeline?
Searching video like a conversation is a game-changer for editors. Does this index the visual elements of the frame, or is it primarily relying on the audio transcript?
