Workflow · Creator footage
Find B-roll and remembered scenes across your shoots.
The right shot is already in your footage. Describe it, check the moment and go straight to the original.
How it works in practice
Step 1: Connect the folders where your footage already lives
Link project folders and drives. Keep originals in place and choose which videos to index.
Sample foldersTravel / Kerala · City rides 2025 · SSD-02 / B-roll
Step 2: Describe the moment
Search with a description, a setting or something that was said. Keep the scope to all linked folders or narrow it to one shoot.
Sample querycyclist by the water after rain, evening light
Step 3: Check the match and reveal the original
Check the evidence and source time. Play the moment in CutroomOS, then reveal the original in Finder.

What the result can and cannot tell you
Search covers the indexed portion of your library. If some videos are not indexed yet, or a drive is disconnected, results say so instead of implying the scene does not exist. A result references a time range in the original file; it is not a rendered clip or export.
Start with the footage you already have.
CutroomOS runs on your Mac and works with the folders where your videos already live.
