Searching footage

Searching the footage you’ve indexed.

How does searching work?

Add folders and let Sift index supported media before searching. You can then describe a shot or search spoken words. Results depend on the content and indexing; review each match before using it.

Account & app

Availability, privacy and pricing.

Does my footage stay on my Mac?

Sift’s core media indexing and search run locally on your Mac. Setup can require model downloads. If you connect a cloud assistant, snippets or previews returned to it may leave your Mac and be processed by that provider. Use approved folder scopes and separate search access from editing permissions.

What will Sift cost?

Pricing and trial details have not been finalized. There is no purchase or trial offer on this page.

Are the examples real product recordings?

No. The current website examples are labeled illustrations. They illustrate the workflow and are not measured search results, timings or compatibility tests.
