Quick Start
Use this path when you have just installed ShotMind and want to turn your first local video into searchable shots.
First workflow
02
Import a local video
Choose a local video file from your computer. The full source video stays on your computer instead of becoming a full cloud video library.
03
Let ShotMind split the video into shots
ShotMind detects cut points and turns the video into smaller shot clips so you can review concrete visual moments.
04
Select the shots worth analyzing
You do not need to analyze everything. Pick the shot clips that are useful for editing, pitching, AI video reference, or future reuse.
05
Analyze selected shot clips
Selected shot clips are temporarily sent to cloud AI for visual analysis. Analysis results and necessary metadata are used for search and management.
06
Search by natural language
Search by what is visible: subject, action, lighting, mood, composition, camera movement, or a scene you remember.
07
Open the original context before using a result
When a result matters, jump back to the source video context before using it in editing, prompts, pitch decks, or client work.
Before you start
- Free download includes a 7-day free Pro trial with 50 shot analyses.
- Full source videos stay local; only selected shot clips are analyzed.
- AI analysis and search can still be imperfect, so important matches should be checked against the original video.
- Windows is in the future development plan; the current public app is macOS.
Ready for your first searchable shot library?
