Features · Scene Detection

Every scene detected,
every take organized

FrameQuery automatically detects scene boundaries during indexing, generating thumbnails, natural-language descriptions, and object lists for every scene. Search by scene content, organize multi-camera shoots into scene groups, and tag takes automatically.

How It Works

Indexing does the hard part

When you add a source folder, FrameQuery analyses every video frame by frame. Scene boundaries are identified automatically and each scene is tagged with searchable metadata so you can find it later by what you remember about it.

Multi-Camera

Coming Soon

Detect multi-cam shoots automatically

When multiple cameras were rolling on the same scene, FrameQuery matches their audio waveforms to detect the overlap. Three cameras, three angles, one moment - grouped together with frame-accurate timecode offsets so you know exactly how they align.

Source Controls

Different settings for different folders

Override AI feature settings per source folder. Enable scene detection on one source while disabling it on another. Useful when you have mixed content (raw production footage vs. screen recordings) that needs different treatment.

Clapperboard Detection

Coming Soon

Read the slate, group the takes

FrameQuery detects clapperboards in your footage and reads the scene number, take number, roll, and camera data written on the slate. Takes are grouped automatically under their scene with no manual sorting. See our roadmap
