Organise the films, clips and references you study into folders, browse them as a thumbnail wall, and keep your own notes on every movie. Built for filmmakers, students and teachers.
Organise movies in folders and subfolders, with the library name and switcher at the top of the folders column. Drag a movie in and it lands in the folder you picked.
Three columns or two
Choose three columns (folders, movies, player) or an Eagle-style two-column layout where the player opens over the movie grid.
Details for every movie
Display title, star rating, a link, tags and notes, plus file info such as format, codec, aspect ratio and audio. Your real file is never renamed.
Notes that scroll on screen

Your film library, your way
Placeholder copy. Tell me what you want this page to say.
Import a video and Snapper Grabber picks the best frames from across the whole film, favouring clear faces. Choose the ones you want and export them as images.
Upscale your videos to 1080p or 4K and reframe them for vertical, square or widescreen. Work on one video, or line up several and export them in a batch.
Right-click a photo, video or audio file in Finder and see its basic info: resolution, frame rate, codec, bitrate and more. Kept simple, so it never gets busy.
