Best fit

Use it when the camera barely moves.

Rare event review is for footage where most of the timeline is empty, repetitive, or waiting for something to happen.

How it works

Turn a long recording into a short review list.

The desktop app includes a static-camera scan mode with fast, high-recall, and max-recall presets for different footage.

Small motion in a fixed frameBrief person or animal appearancesChanges across quiet camera anglesRelevant moments inside long recordings
01

Scan static footage

Focus checks long, mostly still videos for movement and visual change.

02

Review candidates

Jump to the few places where something actually happened.

03

Keep or export

Save useful moments as selects, search them later, or send them into an edit.

Built for review

Search, selects, and local processing stay part of the same workflow.

Searchable results

Keep useful moments in the same library as transcripts, scenes, people, and visual search.

Local first

Review private or sensitive footage on your Mac without turning it into a cloud upload workflow.

Editor friendly

Save the moment, open the video at the right time, or move selected ranges into an edit workflow.

Rare Events

Stop watching the empty parts.

Use Focus to find the parts of static footage that deserve a closer look.
