VideoHighlighter

Purpose: VideoHighlighter is a local desktop app that analyzes video and exports highlight reels plus individual clips.
Detection: The app scores scene, motion, audio, objects, actions and transcript signals, then displays the reasons on a timeline and report.
Offline privacy: Video files, transcripts, detections and local models stay on disk; analysis, search and export do not upload footage.
API requirement: The basic pipeline needs no API key.
Free capabilities: The free edition includes offline analysis, live face detection, VR side-by-side playback, CLIP search, composition rules, model training and a model hub.
Pro capabilities: Pro adds live object and action overlays, point-and-teach categories, find-more-like-this search, open-vocabulary detection and counter or scoreboard detection.
Technical stack: The pipeline uses YOLOX with OpenVINO, YuNet and SFace face models, Whisper transcription, a composition engine, CLIP search and a PySide6 editor.
Explainability: Reports provide per-signal point breakdowns, fired signals, strong moments that missed the cut and transcript claims that were not measured.
Install platforms: Prebuilt downloads are available for Windows and macOS, while Linux runs from source with pip and Python.
License: The free repository is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0, with a separate commercial license offered by the copyright holders.
Activation: Pro activation requires an internet connection once, after which the license is checked locally and the app does not contact the vendor.
Hardware: A GPU is optional; current CPUs run the pipeline, while Intel Arc and other GPUs can accelerate detection.
Support: Support is provided through Discord and email, with priority support for Pro customers and no ticket portal.
Usage limit: An Individual Pro license is for one editor and may be used on up to five computers.
Price from: Free
