TV & Film Post-Production

Find the take, setup, or continuity moment in raw dailies

Feature and episodic edits begin with hours of dailies—multiple takes of every setup, coverage from every angle, and a script somewhere underneath it all. Finding the take where an actor nailed a line, or the matching insert for a continuity fix, is where assistant editors lose their days. SearchByVideo lets you search footage by the dialogue spoken and the action on screen, so you can type "the take where she delivers the final line" or "the close-up of the letter on the table" and land on it. Post teams use it to pull selects, resolve continuity, and log dailies far faster than screening in real time.

SearchByVideo lets editors and assistant editors search raw dailies and film footage in plain language to find a specific take, setup, or continuity moment. Instead of screening hours of coverage, describe the shot or line and jump straight to the exact frame.

"On an episodic edit I have to find one specific take out of dozens of setups. Searching the line of dialogue and jumping straight to that take has saved me from screening dailies for hours. It gets the editor cutting the same day the footage lands."
