Wildlife & Nature Footage
Find the animal, behavior, or scene in hours of field footage
A wildlife shoot can produce days of footage where the animal is off-frame most of the time and the moment worth keeping—a hunt, a feeding, a rare behavior—lasts only seconds. Logging that footage by hand is one of the slowest jobs in the edit. SearchByVideo lets you search field footage by the species, action, or scene on screen, so you can type "the fox catching prey" or "the wide shot of the herd at the waterhole" and land on it instantly. Documentary editors and researchers use it to find hero moments, log behavior, and turn a mountain of raw cards into a searchable archive.
SearchByVideo lets nature filmmakers search hours of wildlife and field footage in plain language to find a specific animal, behavior, or scene. Instead of screening endless raw takes, describe what you filmed and jump straight to the exact moment it appears.

"I come back from a shoot with terabytes of footage where the animal shows up for maybe ninety seconds an hour. Logging it used to take days. Now I search for the behavior I filmed and it finds those seconds for me. It has transformed my post workflow."
