What if

you could search
every frame?

Natural language search

Describe any moment. Edit Mind finds it across all your footage.

Find the frame.
Keep the edit moving.

Edit Mind runs beside your editor. The difference is what happens after the search: manual export, or a direct handoff into your timeline.

Self-hosted

Search locally.
Move clips manually.

Best when you want the open-source stack and don't mind a few extra steps between finding the clip and using it.

After search

Download the result, switch context, bring it into the editor yourself.
