Focus: Stop scrubbing. Start editing.

Focus indexes speech, scenes, faces, and visual details on your Mac or Windows PC, then turns a plain-language search into source-backed selects you can send to Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut.

Open Focus

Video search becomes useful when the result can enter the edit.

A private, local pre-edit layer for finding and handing off exact moments in large video libraries.

Focus does more than retrieve a vaguely similar clip. It keeps the footage local, surfaces the timestamp and source context, lets an editor shape verified selects, and preserves that work through the NLE handoff. That makes it a pre-edit layer rather than another AI search demo.
