Footage Librarian
Drop raw videos, photos and voice memos into one folder and Claude catalogs them. Each file gets an ID, a frame sheet and a transcript made on your Mac. Claude looks at every item once and writes up a summary, who's in it, quotable moments with timestamps, what it's good for and anything that shouldn't be posted. The result is one searchable CATALOG.md, so you can find a clip without re-watching your footage. Needs macOS on Apple Silicon, ffmpeg and mlx-whisper.

Footage Librarian
You film a lot and can never find the clip you need. Footage Librarian turns a folder of raw videos, photos and voice memos into a catalog you can search, so each clip is watched once and never again.
How it works
- Drop new files into a
raw/folder and tell Claude "new raw files". - Each file gets an ID (
V0001video,P0001photo,A0001audio) and moves intoraw/videos/,raw/photos/orraw/audio/. Originals are never re-encoded, trimmed or deleted. - A script builds what Claude needs to look at it once: a sheet of 12 timed frames for videos, a preview for photos, a waveform for audio, and a transcript made on your Mac with mlx-whisper.
- Cheaper subagents (Haiku for silent clips and photos, Sonnet for anything with speech) describe the items in parallel batches.
- Each item is renamed to
ID_date_slugand added toraw/CATALOG.md.
What each entry holds
- A 2–3 sentence summary
- Type: work, daily life, failure, opinion, how-to or b-roll
- Who is in it (only people you list; everyone else is described, never guessed)
- Location, project and tags
- Quotable moments with timestamps taken from the transcript or frame times
- Quality notes: light, focus, audio level, shake
- What it's good for: hook, talking head, b-roll, screen demo, thumbnail, and the 9:16 crop it needs
- Privacy flags: children, addresses, car plates, readable screens, strangers' faces
Transcripts you can trust
Whisper makes up text over silence ("Thank you for watching"). Footage Librarian measures the audio, re-runs quiet clips boosted, and says so when a clip has no usable speech, so you don't build a video on a line nobody said.
Also handles
- Photo bursts, grouped as one item with a contact sheet
- Voice memos named after a street (flagged as an address)
- Duplicate files, skipped by content
- Files dropped into the wrong subfolder
Setup
On first run Claude creates raw/ and a short profile.md where you list the people who appear in your footage, your projects and your privacy rules.
Requirements
- macOS on Apple Silicon
- Claude Code
- ffmpeg (
brew install ffmpeg) - mlx-whisper (
pip install mlx-whisper). The first transcript downloads the whisper-large-v3-turbo model, about 1.6 GB.
Transcription runs on your Mac. Your Claude session sees the frame sheets and transcripts it describes, under Anthropic's terms.
