Reelary: Local Footage Search

Talk to your footage.

  Reelary is a 100% local media library that actually understands your video. Point it at a folder and every photo — and every 2-second slice of every clip — is indexed on-device by a local vision model. Then just describe what you want: "drone over a coastline at sunset," "neon street at night," "close-up on hands." The exact moments surface in seconds, ranked by similarity. No tagging. No uploads. Nothing ever leaves your Mac.

  FIND ANY SHOT
  • Search your whole library in plain language — visual, semantic search, not filename guessing.
  • Videos are sliced every 2 seconds, so a search returns the exact moment inside a clip, not just the file.
  • Auto-organized the moment you import: smart folders by scene, zero-shot tags, and dominant-color filters.
  • Works across internal drives and external SSDs, and keeps searching even when a drive is offline.
  • New files are picked up automatically — no manual re-sync.

  CUT IN A SENTENCE
  • Paste a script, one line per shot. Reelary searches your own footage for each line  and assembles a rough cut on the timeline.
  • Every line becomes a shot card you can swap, re-search, or reorder.
  • Trim, split, snap and reorder on a clean timeline — the AI rough-cut essentials, nothing bloated.

  FINISH IT, YOUR WAY
  • Reframe any shot to 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 with auto-reframe that follows the subject.
  • Add beat-synced music, burned-in captions, and a local AI voice-over (multiple built-in voices, 20+ languages).
  • Turn a clip's speech into time-aligned captions, fully on-device.
  • Remove a fixed logo or timestamp with the built-in object eraser.
  • Export a finished MP4 — or export an FCPXML / EDL project that references your original files and hand off to Premiere, Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve for the polish.
