The good stuff
is in there.
Most of us have decades of footage sitting on drives — Hi-8 captures, MiniDV, phone clips, GoPro and drone cards — that nobody has watched since the day it was shot. These four tools put that archive to work.
Nothing gets wiped on faith.
Sender copies incoming media to the folders you choose, then verifies each file landed in your storage system — SHA-256 checksums for SD cards and drives; a name-and-size check for iPhones and other internal storage that can't be hashed in place. A phone match can never authorize deletion — only hash-verified files are ever eligible for a wipe, behind a confirmation.
Automated 360 video framing.
An afternoon with a 360 camera leaves you a bunch of files, and each one requires keyframing in an editor before anyone can watch it. Nobody does that, so the footage sits. Director frames the whole folder for you: it reads frames from each clip, plans real camera moves, and writes flat MP4s that play anywhere — often two or three different shots from one sphere. Give it a mode and/or a prompt.
Know your footage.
Before Factory edits anything, it reads every clip and writes down what it finds: quality scores, duration, resolution, which camera shot it, and GPS and flight telemetry when the file — or the sidecar next to it — carries it: GoPro's GPMF lives in the file, DJI's SRT beside it. Claude writes a short description of each scene, and Whisper transcribes the audio locally with timestamps. Everything goes into one database, and every edit afterward is built from those records.
Run it yourself.
Pick folders — or run a prompt. Choose the cut, the mode, the render. When a render needs boxes or facts, the flow dips through detections.
Image search for your archive.
Give Spotter a few reference photos of your thing and point it at your footage. It finds appearances of that thing, timestamps each to the half-second, and scores every one — with a sensitivity dial that runs from a few clean hits to everything. Finding runs entirely on your machine.
I started out as a skateboard filmer and now I'm a video professional and a dad with tons of family footage stacking up. I love editing video, but the mountain of footage had grown so overwhelming that I couldn't keep up. I was let down by subscription services that promised to automate the process, so I set out to solve the problem myself. Hopefully these tools can help your workflow, too.
