A new tool lets you search inside your video files for specific moments
Finding a specific clip in a pile of videos is usually slow and frustrating. This tool indexes your video library so you can search for words spoken or objects seen.
Most video files are hard to search because computers only see the filename, not the content. The creator built this to automatically scan videos and create a searchable map of what happens inside them. This is especially helpful for creators who need to reuse old footage but can't remember where specific scenes are. Instead of watching hours of footage, you just type a keyword to jump to the right spot. It turns messy folders of raw clips into a searchable database for faster editing.
