ClipSeek User Guide
Add images and videos to a library, then find what you need with a scene description or a remembered line. Everyday organization and searching happen on your computer.
Start here →Install, create a library, import media, and run your first search.Find a scene →Search with words, reference images, and filters.Remember a line? →Import subtitles, find dialogue, and trim a clip.Organize and export →Use tags and folders, then export originals or video clips.
Your first three steps
- Install and complete setup, creating a local library.
- Import images or videos and let the visual index become ready.
- In Search → Visual, describe something like
a person running by the seaand inspect the matching images and video frames.
Imported, but not searchable yet?
Search indexes may still be queued or building after a file enters the library. You can browse and organize it while waiting. Check its index status in asset details; see Index management.

- Back up the complete library directory and separately back up referenced originals. Follow the backup steps.
