The problem

Video is powerful — but impossible to search manually.

Most teams have hours of footage in drives, cameras, meetings, livestreams, interviews, and demos. When you need one specific clip, you're stuck scrubbing timelines, renaming files, or relying on memory.

Endless timeline scrubbing

Finding one moment in a long recording can take minutes — or hours.

← drag · 02:18:42

Lost spoken information

Important phrases, names, decisions, and quotes stay buried in audio.

“…the launch needs to happen before…”
“…we agreed on the new pricing…”

Unorganized libraries

Files pile up quickly, but most folders have no useful search layer.

The solution

Search videos by what appears on screen — or what was said.

VidScanner indexes your videos so you can search them in two powerful ways: visual search for what appears in a scene, and audio search for words or phrases spoken in the video.

Visual Search

Search what you see.

Find scenes by describing objects, people, actions, settings, colors, or visual moments.

Audio Search

Search what was said.

Find moments by searching spoken words, phrases, names, or topics from the video transcript.

01

Upload videos or connect cameras

02

Search naturally

Type what you're looking for — whether it's something visible or something spoken.

04

Jump to the exact timestamp

Open a result and land directly on the matching video moment, ready to watch or save.
