I recently started learning how to edit videos and decided to write my own desktop app to organize my videos and images (only available for Mac right now). The app is called Cosmos and you can use it to browse, tag, and search your media with AI. It’s completely private, so no data ever leaves your computer.

​

I showed it to other video editors but their reaction was pretty underwhelming. I’m curious if people in this sub might have a use case for the app. Not sure how often you are searching through large media libraries, but I imagine this would be a good tool to help find stuff you don’t want to manually label.

​

If there are any interested testers out there, I’d be happy to offer a discount (it is currently a one-time $40). For a short overview of the features, you can check out this YT video.

    Your software sounds super awesome and I don’t think you realize what you have on your hands from a video editors perspective.

    Granted I don’t have tons of footage to look through for most projects but it’d probably save me a little time.

    I’d imagine if you pitched this software to stock footage companies they’d be all over it. Instead of tagging/logging the footage you could eventually have ai do it.

    I think there’s a service out there now where you can upload footage someone will tag/log it for a fee then upload it to multiple stock sites.

    Istock shutterstock pondfive getty are some big ones. They may be interested in this tech.

    I’d also consider reaching out to adobe, blackmagic and avid to see if they would want to buy this from you…or try to partner up with this other new ai company that figures out what broll that you shot is usable. …combining your software with theirs would be huge (I’ll edited the name here once I find it again)
