DISKO is a Mac media asset manager for organizing video footage with AI tagging, transcription, face recognition, shot descriptions, and plain-language search. The maker says these functions run on the Mac, and footage is uploaded only when a user chooses to sync a project to DISKO Cloud. Its desktop app plays ProRes, DNxHD, MXF, 10-bit HEVC, and formats FFmpeg can decode, with real-time LUT preview. Editors can export selects, rough cuts, and multicamera sequences as XML for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. DISKO can index and preview clips in Google Drive without downloading originals until editing requires them. Cloud review includes timestamped comments, frame drawing, synced side-by-side comparison, version stacking, branded client portals, and viewing analytics. The Cloud Free plan includes 2 GB, screenwriting and shot-list tools, and review links. Cloud Pro costs 12.00 USD per month. DISKO Local costs 99.00 USD per once and includes unlimited local storage and free updates for the current major version. The desktop app requires an Apple Silicon Mac with an M1 chip or later.
