FootageFerretFind the shot you remember.
“A car beside a farm.” “Sheep shearing.” “Sunset over the sea.” Search what you remember seeing, even when the camera only gave it a number.
You shot it.
Now find it.
SEARCH BY WHAT YOU REMEMBER
FootageFerret looks at what is actually in every clip and photo. It turns camera filenames such as C0017.MXF into useful titles and descriptions, then searches folders, drives and NAS archives as one visual library. Preview matches even when an archive drive is unplugged.
Try “sunset drone” · “farm animals” · “red car by a lake”
