How It Works

From chaos to searchable in minutes

No training required. No IT department needed.

1

Index your drives

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.

2

Tag what matters

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.

3

Import from cameras and cards

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.

4

Find anything instantly

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.
