ClipCatalog

ClipCatalog is “spotlight search” for your video archive on Windows. It scans folders on your PC (internal drives or external SSDs), builds a searchable library, and helps you find the right clip in seconds—without uploading your footage anywhere.

Privacy-first • Processing runs locally; your videos stay on your computer

What you can do with it • Find moments by what was said: automatic transcription (Whisper) with time-aligned results—perfect for locating a specific quote or sound bite • Find scenes by what’s on screen: AI visual tags like beach, car, interview, dog, city skyline—great for hunting B-roll • Find people (optional): group and search appearances of the same person across your videos • Filter like you remember it: date range, camera, resolution, frame rate, duration, file type, folder/location, audio/no-audio, and more • Verify fast: thumbnail scrubbing + quick preview playback so you don’t have to open your editor just to check a clip • Works with messy storage: handles external drives, changing drive letters, and temporarily disconnected disks

Who it’s for • Hobbyists: finally organize 10–20 years of vacations and family videos and find “that one moment” again • YouTubers & vloggers: reuse old footage, locate B-roll instantly, and pull the exact segment where you said a phrase • Filmmakers & editors (small teams): pull interview selects and B-roll across all projects and drives from one searchable library, then drag clips straight into your NLE timeline—great for client/NDA footage.
