00:01:47:02So we built something that actually works.
00:01:49:18You upload, it processes, and three minutes later—
00:01:52:04you can search everything. Every face, every word.

Search

Search footage in plain English

Type what you're looking for — a line of dialogue, a person's name, a scene description — and Reelback returns timecoded results instantly. No more scrubbing. No more guessing which drive it's on.

Full-text transcript search across all projects
Face-based search: "Show me every clip of Maria"
Semantic search understands context, not just keywords
Results link directly to the timecode in your footage

Face detection

AI face detection and tracking across projects

Reelback automatically detects and identifies every face in your footage. Faces are tracked across videos and projects, so you can find every appearance of a person in your entire library — even if they were never tagged.

Automatic face detection on upload — no manual tagging
Cross-project person matching and deduplication
Talent roster with named faces for instant lookup
Face thumbnails and appearance timelines per video

Transcription

Automated transcription with timecoded dialogue

Every word in your footage is transcribed automatically with precise timecodes and speaker diarization. Search by dialogue, jump to the exact frame, and edit transcripts inline when the AI gets a name wrong.

Automatic transcription on upload — no manual step
Speaker diarization (who said what)
Timecoded to the word for frame-accurate navigation
Inline transcript editing with search re-indexing

NLE export

Export selects to Premiere, Resolve, and Final Cut Pro

Found what you're looking for? Export timecoded selects as EDL, FCPXML, or CSV and open them directly in your NLE. Reelback is a search tool that feeds results back into your edit — it sits alongside your existing pipeline, not on top of it.

EDL export for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve
FCPXML export for Final Cut Pro
CSV export for spreadsheets and custom workflows
In/out ranges set from search results or transcript selections

Zero-storage mode

Process footage without long-term cloud storage

Some teams can't store raw footage in the cloud. Zero-storage mode runs AI face detection, transcription, and indexing, then deletes the source files. Your search index, transcripts, and face data remain fully intact and searchable.

Full AI processing: faces, transcripts, and search index
Source video deleted after processing completes
All metadata and search capability preserved
Ideal for sensitive content or storage-conscious teams

Collaboration

Timecoded comments and team search

Leave timecoded comments directly on the timeline for your team. Notes are pinned to the exact frame and threaded for discussion. Combined with shared search, your entire post team can find and discuss footage without leaving Reelback.

Timecoded comments pinned to the waveform
Threaded replies and resolve workflow
Multi-seat team access with shared search
Comment markers visible on the timeline

Use cases

Built for teams that live in post
