    I love this software. I used it to find the best clips of my family from the last 20 years to edit a wedding video for my sister. My sister was very happy and I saved a lot of time and effort because the software automatically cataloged my videos and I was able to find the best scenes for my video using the search filter functions. Great purchase, highly recommended!

What is 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.

Trial & licensing • Free trial (no credit card): index up to 500 videos / 10 hours total • One-time purchase to unlock unlimited use
