It also offers footage-type filtering for dialogue, voiceover, and scenic clips, technical filters for resolution and frame rate, saved search presets, transcript export as TXT or SRT, thumbnail browsing, and highlight score ranking.
Built for real archive workflows, it supports external drives, NAS, and network shares, and auto-relinks moved or renamed folders. All processing runs on your PC with no cloud uploads. One-time purchase with lifetime updates.
