Focus Personal
Search your private video library. Keep it private.
Find spoken and visual moments, verify the source, and save what matters without uploading or reorganizing your videos.
Focus Personal
Personal is the local search and review edition.
Choose it when the job is to find, inspect, and save moments. Your originals stay where they are unless you explicitly choose a copy or move action during import.
Evaluation
Prove it on one representative project.
Start small. Confirm search quality, processing time, storage use, and source playback before indexing a full archive.
Add one project
Choose videos or a folder from local storage, an external drive, or a mounted NAS volume.
Search and verify
Search speech, scenes, people, filenames, and metadata, then open the candidate at its source timestamp.
Save the useful moment
Keep verified moments as Selects with source context so they remain easy to revisit.
Included
Everything Personal needs. No production handoff bundle.
Personal contains the core private-library workflow on both supported platforms.
- Local indexing and search across speech, visual content, people, filenames, and metadata.
- Local transcription, scene analysis, Smart Filters, and source review.
- Selects for saving useful clips and moments with their source context.
- Basic clip and video export.
- A current-major-version license for macOS and Windows.
Privacy
The library stays under your control.
Focus indexes selected media on your computer. It does not require a cloud upload for local analysis, and Library organization does not move or rename originals.
01Focus is a search and review workspace, not a backup system.
02Mounted network storage must be available through the operating system.
03Playback and source-backed export require the original media or an available proxy.
04Search results are candidates. Review the source before relying on them.
Choose Pro when the next step is an editor handoff.
Personal stops at local search, review, Selects, and basic export. Pro adds source-backed Sequences, advanced NLE exports, reports, manifests, and export packages.
You can upgrade later and pay the difference.

FAQ
Focus Personal questions
Does Focus Personal upload my videos?
Local indexing and analysis do not require a cloud upload. Optional external processing, if offered, must be chosen and confirmed separately.

No. Library organization does not move or rename originals. Copy and move actions are explicit import choices.
What is the trial limit?
The free trial can index up to 30 videos. Use a representative project to confirm that search and source review fit your footage.
When should I choose Focus Pro?
Choose Pro when you need Sequences, advanced Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut handoff, subtitles, reports, manifests, or export packages.
Test Personal on footage you already know.
