FootageFerret Finds the Shot You Remember

Field notes

The tool builds a local catalogue from video and photo folders while preserving the originals in their existing locations. Its archive view combines folder browsing with content-based searches, clip previews, recording details, and saved selects; the examples include short 4K clips of sheep, farmland, traffic, and ocean surf. The page also describes cached browsing after a drive is unplugged, with reconnection reserved for opening originals or generating new previews. A free tier covers up to 1,000 clips or photos, and the listed model uses a one-time full licence rather than a monthly subscription.
