Point Dave at a folder. He describes every clip, tags it, names it your way and files it — and learns the people in your interviews. Your footage and your people never leave your Mac.
No card. Nothing is renamed until you say so.
Your naming convention, not Dave’s. Client, project, folder, shot, date, camera — and the people in an interview, on the end of the name.
Keep the folders your footage is already in — camera, day, location — with A-Roll and B-Roll kept apart, or let Dave gather everything by kind.
Name someone from an interview and Dave finds them in the wide shots and the crowd too — on this shoot and every future one for that client.
Descriptions, tags and comments are written onto the files themselves, so Spotlight, Finder and your edit suite can all find them.
A drive, a NAS, a card. Dave reads what’s there and tells you what it found before anything happens.
Tags only, better names, or the whole tidy-up. Dave shows the shape of a name and the cost of the run before it starts.
Describes it, classifies the shot, groups the categories and files it. A big ingest can run overnight for half the clips.
Edit any name, description, tag or folder and press Apply. Download a summary PDF for the client or the edit.
The rules the whole app is built around. They aren’t settings, and they can’t be switched off.
Not a clip, not a folder you made. The only thing Dave removes is a folder it created that ended up empty.
Every rename and every move happens inside the folder you pointed at. Nothing lands anywhere else on your Mac.
Face recognition runs locally. The people library lives on your disk, one folder per client, and is never uploaded.
A dry run shows every name and folder without touching a file. Nothing is written until you say go.
From $20 a month for 1,000 clips, up to team plans that share one pool of clips across the crew. Every plan starts with 100 free clips and no card.
