Before you try it.

A few practical details.

What's included in the free demo?

A one-time search of up to 5 minutes of your script. Review the results, open the sources and export your shot list. No sign-up or card required. A paid plan lets you search more; the results already found remain available.

Do I get the video files?

You get source links and an exportable shot list. Video files, exact in-video timestamps and usage licences are not included. Check each source's terms before using an asset.

How long does a search take?

Allow about a minute for planning, then the results arrive as the search runs. Longer and denser scripts take longer. You can start reviewing while it searches, or close the tab and come back.

Will it find something for every line?

Some lines are harder to illustrate, and some results will need replacing. This example is from a subject with plenty of archive material. Try your own script to judge how useful the matches are for your work.

Try it on the script you're working on.

Your first 5 minutes are free. See the matches before choosing a plan.
