FrameQuery makes video footage searchable by dialogue, on-screen content and people. During indexing, it identifies scene context, objects, faces, voices and speech, with transcripts separated by speaker. Once indexing is complete, searches run on the device and work offline without a per-query cost. It supports more than 50 video formats and can ingest local folders, S3, SMB, Dropbox and Google Drive. Search results can be exported to editing workflows including Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Avid. Its web review page supports frame-accurate comments, drawing annotations, approvals and side-by-side version comparison. Face and voice recognition run on-device with explicit consent, while selected frames and extracted audio are sent to cloud services for analysis and transcription. FrameQuery offers a free plan with no monthly indexing hours; paid plans start at $19/mo. Its API is planned but is not yet available, and live requests are disabled.
Who it is for
FrameQuery suits production and post-production teams, as well as marketing, documentary, corporate video, news and broadcast users. Teams needing frame-specific review and editing exports may find its workflow useful.
