Use tool ↗About MediaFind
MediaFind is a desktop application that makes personal or team media libraries searchable without uploading anything to the cloud. It transcribes and indexes audio and video files on-device, then offers more than a dozen ways to search them: natural-language queries, visual recognition, on-screen text (OCR), speaker identification, and emotion detection among them. It can export the moments it finds as FCPXML or EDL timelines for editors, flag near-duplicate files, and answer questions about the library using an on-device language model. The tool targets podcasters, video editors, journalists, legal and compliance teams reviewing recordings, and anyone managing a large personal video archive.

Pros & cons of MediaFind
MediaFind's pitch is real: on-device search across faces, speech, and on-screen text in a media library is genuinely hard to do well, and the FCPXML/EDL export means it plugs into an existing editing workflow rather than replacing it. Whether it's worth the subscription depends on how large and disorganized your media library already is.
Pros
- On-device transcription and indexing, so files don't have to leave the machine
- Exports findings directly as FCPXML/EDL timelines for editors
- Combines transcript, face, OCR, and speaker search in one tool
- Free tier available for testing on up to 10 files
Cons
- Free tier is capped at 10 files, too small to evaluate a real archive
- Monthly price jumps sharply after the discounted first month unless you commit to annual billing
Best for
- podcasters and editors hunting for a specific quote across many episodes
- journalists reviewing hours of interview footage
- teams that need recordings searchable without uploading them to a cloud service
Not for
- casual users with only a handful of video files
- anyone who needs a mobile-first tool, since Android support is still in beta
Watch out: Check the annual price before subscribing — the standing monthly rate is well above the introductory offer.
