Fast Import sheet listing clips from a camera card

Offload a card. Verify every file.

Import straight from the SD card. Every copy is checked with SHA-256 before it counts as done, and files you already have are skipped.

Clips being marked as favorites and rejects from the keyboard

Review without touching the mouse.

F to favorite, 1–5 to rate, ⌫ to reject, Space to play. ⌃H hides the rejects and leaves you with the keepers.

Inspector listing copies of one clip on a Mac, a NAS and a backup drive

Where is that shot? Everywhere.

One clip can live on your Mac, the NAS and a backup SSD and still be one clip. Unplug a drive and its copy is simply marked Offline.

Folder layout being built from tokens

Your footage, your folders.

Build the folder layout from tokens like Event Year and Event Name. Every import lands in a tree you would recognize in Finder.

Search results showing why each clip matched

Find the shot, not the file.

Search looks past filenames: what is in the frame, keywords, transcripts, on-screen text. Each result shows why it matched and jumps to the moment.

Selected clips being moved into a new event

From Unsorted to sorted in two clicks.

Select clips, create an event, and they move in with a cover, a date and a count. The next batch goes into an event you already have.

Collections narrowing a library by origin and rating

Your library, already sliced.

Collections by category, origin and review state. Click Drone, narrow to four stars and up, and 90 clips become the 7 you actually want.

Messy card folders turning into one organized library

Card dumps in, one library out.

DCIM, PRIVATE, “untitled folder 3”. Drop it all in and get every clip once, grouped into events, duplicates skipped.

And the details that matter.

Analysis that stays on your Mac

Footages describes what is in the frame, transcribes speech and reads on-screen text. The models run locally, so your footage never leaves the machine.

Ten thousand clips, zero waiting

Scrolling, selecting and batch-marking stay instant, whether it is one card or a whole season of footage.

Verify any time

Re-check every copy against its checksum whenever you like. Damaged and missing files surface before you need them.

One import, two destinations

Offload a card to the NAS and a backup drive in a single pass. Both copies are verified.

Sidecars travel with the clip

Subtitles, LUTs, XMP and GPS tracks move and copy together with the footage they belong to.

Drop a file or paste a link

Drag footage into the window or import straight from a URL. It lands in the library like everything else.

Everything can be undone

⌘Z brings back ratings, keywords and clips removed from the library. The files themselves are never touched.

No account. No cloud.

There is nothing to sign in to. The library lives on your Mac and your drives.

Footages

Import, review and every copy on every drive in one library.
