Your 10,000 Videos Organized Instantly
Point. Click. Done. Under 3 seconds for 30,000 clips. SiftVid reads filenames and extracts tags, categories, and metadata. Zero manual work.
You Have Thousands of Randomly-Named Files. Let's Fix That.
You've accumulated video files over years. Multiple sources, different naming conventions, zero organization. Files named like clip_720p_final_v2.mp4 or5d733c4f89b3_source.mp4 that tell you nothing about what's inside.
Windows Explorer shows you filenames. That's it. No fuzzy search, no tag filters, no way to find anything without clicking through folders for 30 minutes.
Step 1: Select Your Folder (5 seconds)
Click “Select Folder” in the app. Choose where your videos are. Done.
Works with any structure: a single folder of 50 videos, multiple folders across different drives, organized subfolders or complete chaos, any video format (MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, WebM).
Step 2: SiftVid Scans Everything (instantly)
The app reads every filename and extracts:
- Tags and categories from filenames
- Locations and subjects
- Quality metadata (resolution, codec, bitrate)
- File properties (size, duration, date)
Processing time: under 1 second for 1,000 videos, 5 seconds for 30,000 videos on an external spinning drive. You don't type anything. You don't tag anything.
Step 3: Search and Watch (2 seconds)
Your library is now organized. Type any word from a filename in the search bar. Results appear in under 1 second.
- Filter by category → instant results
- Sort by longest, newest, largest → works everywhere
- Add custom tags → your organization, your rules
The Numbers
We tested this with real libraries:
- 100 videos: instant (under 0.1 s)
- 1,000 videos: under 1 s
- 5,000 videos: 2 s
- 10,000 videos: 3 s
- 30,000 videos: 5 s (external spinning drive)
Compare that to manually tagging: 10 seconds per video × 10,000 videos = 27 hours. We save you 27 hours on a 10,000-video library. In under 3 seconds.
Common Questions
What if I have videos across multiple folders?
Add them all. The app merges everything into one searchable library. Videos on C:, D:, an external drive? No problem. Search them all at once.
What if I download more videos later?
Click “Refresh.” The app scans for new videos. Takes a fraction of a second.
Why is it so fast?
We don't upload your videos to a server. We don't transcode anything. We just read the filenames and metadata. That's it.
5 seconds of setup saves years of folder frustration.
