B-roll search for creators
The coffee pour. The rainy street. The hands on a keyboard. Search the footage you own before spending another afternoon hunting for a cutaway.
For Apple Silicon Macs. Visual search is free. Speech search requires Pro.
Invenio helps video editors and YouTube creators find B-roll in their own video and photo libraries on Mac. Describe a scene, preview matching footage, and bring the file into your edit.
A line about the morning commute needs a picture. Try “busy train platform,” then get more specific if the results are too broad. Concrete subjects and actions give you somewhere to start, even when the files are named straight out of the camera.
That travel film, client project, or weekend shoot may already contain the insert you need. Search the folders you have indexed and preview the matching moments. Check that you have permission to reuse client footage before bringing it into a new project.
Use duration and orientation filters while searching, then check quality before committing to a clip. The duration filter describes the source file, not the length of a matching action inside it. Preview the moment and choose your in and out points in your editor.
Add the local or connected-drive folders you return to most. Let Invenio analyze the media before your next editing session.
Search for a subject, action, or setting. Preview the results and adjust your wording if the first search is too broad.
Drag the result into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or another editor that accepts the file. Set your cut points there.

This workflow brings the media file into an editor that accepts file drops. Preview the match in Invenio, then trim and assemble the shot in your editor.
Yes, you can filter video results by file duration. A short matching moment inside a long recording still belongs to a long source file.
