Index videos and photos across all your drives. Detect duplicates automatically. Tag files once, find them instantly — even when drives are disconnected — and your whole library follows you to every machine, free. Built for small creators and creator teams, not enterprises.
Combine tags with AND to narrow results instantly. Search "drone AND sunset AND 4k" and get exactly what you need. Filter by date, duration, resolution, or drive-across videos and photos alike.
Double-click any file to open the built-in viewer. Play videos, view photos, see metadata, file locations across all drives, and manage tags - all in one view. Hover over video thumbnails to scrub through clips instantly.
Plug in an SD card or camera and instantly see which files are new versus already in your library. Videos, photos - it handles them all. Select only new files, auto-tag on import, and copy to your working drive - no manual sorting needed.
Index videos and photos across any number of external drives. Clipthesis tracks which files live where, detects duplicates across drives via content hashing, and lets you search and tag everything - even when drives are disconnected.
Sign in and your whole catalog — tags, collections, clip metadata, thumbnails — syncs automatically to every Mac you use. Tag footage on the studio machine and it's already organised on your laptop. Perfect for small creator teams: every edit machine sees the same library, always current. Sync moves your catalog, not your footage — media stays on your drives.
Sync moves your catalog; your footage stays on your drives. When you want the media itself in the cloud — an off-site copy for safety, or to pull clips down on any machine — add Clipthesis Backup: automatic, deduplicated storage for $0.01 per GB per month. It's the only thing in Clipthesis that ever costs money, and it's entirely on demand — no tiers, no minimums, just the gigabytes you actually store.
No training required. No IT department needed.
Click "Index Drive," pick a folder, and watch Clipthesis catalog every video and photo. It extracts thumbnails, reads metadata, and automatically detects duplicates across drives using content hashing.
Create tags that fit your workflow e.g: drone interview broll client-acme. Select multiple files and batch-tag in one click. Remove tags just as easily.
Plug in an SD card or camera and Clipthesis instantly shows which files are new and which already exist in your library. Select only what's new, tag files and add to collections on import-no manual sorting needed.
Search by tag, filter by date, or scrub through video thumbnails on hover. Preview files with the built-in viewer, then click "Reveal in Finder" to jump straight to the file.
Every feature in the app is free — including cloud sync that keeps your library identical on every machine. No paywalls, no trials, no per-seat pricing for you or your team. The only thing you can ever pay for is optional cloud backup for your footage, and that's on demand.
Download for MacKeep an off-site copy of your footage in the cloud and pull any clip down to any machine, on demand. Deduplicated, metered daily, billed monthly for what you actually store — no tiers, no minimums.
