Organize footage with AI

The drive you stopped
opening years ago.

Every editor has one. Cards from old projects, trips, jobs that never got cut — copied off in a hurry, never logged, and now too large to face. Organising it by hand was never going to happen, and you both know it.

SightRoll watches the whole archive on your Mac, describes every clip, splits it into scenes, and proposes a folder structure based on what is actually in the footage. Offline, on your own hardware, however long it takes.

What it does with an unlogged archive

It reads the footage, not the filenames

MVI_4471.MOV tells nobody anything, and neither does the folder you dropped it in at 2am. SightRoll watches each clip and writes down what is in it, so the organisation comes from the content instead of from whatever you managed to type at the time.

A structure it proposes, not one it imposes

It suggests a tree — editorial roles at the top, content subcategories underneath — based on what it actually found in your library. You review it before anything moves. Nothing is renamed or relocated behind your back.

Old archives, not just new shoots

The drives you have not touched in three years are the point. Processing runs offline on Apple Silicon, in the background, for as long as it takes — a decade of cards is a scheduling problem, not a blocker.

Then you can just ask

Once the library is indexed you stop navigating folders at all. Describe the shot and the matching scenes come back trimmed, wherever they were filed.

The shape it suggests

Editorial roles at the top, content subcategories underneath. Real categories from a real catalog — yours will look like your work, not like this.

Your masters stay on their drive

Local AI analyzes footage on your Mac. Cloud analysis sends preview stills; cloud Director and your own agent receive requests and relevant catalog context. Encrypted sync is a separate choice. Your original files stay on their drive. Read the specifics.

Start with a small folder. 300 videos free, no time limit, no card — enough to see what SightRoll finds in your footage.
