Find shots and dialogue without tagging every clip

Filenames and manual tags do not describe every visual moment or spoken line.

01 / The job

Search by what appears or is said, check the source timestamp, and save useful ranges.

02 / How Focus helps

After local analysis, Focus can search transcripts and visual content and open timestamped source results for review.

03 / What to check

Search quality depends on the media and selected analysis models. Focus does not guarantee every moment is found. Verify important results against the source.
