What ClipRadar is
ClipRadar is local AI footage search for editors, helping find moments by what appears on screen, what was said, or who is visible. Visual search accepts natural-language descriptions or a reference image to locate similar moments in an indexed library. Speech search transcribes and indexes footage on the user's machine and supports more than 110 languages. Face search lets users name people and find their appearances across a media library. Ultra Search combines person, speech, and visual queries into one ranked result list using a local LLM. A native Adobe Premiere Pro panel supports searching, previewing, and placing results on the timeline. ClipRadar can index H.264/265, ProRes, DNxHR, RAW workflows through proxies, and WAV and MP3 audio files. The maker says footage, transcripts, faces, and the search index remain on the machine and are not uploaded. Windows 10/11 64-bit and an NVIDIA GPU with about 6 GB VRAM are listed requirements; Premiere Pro 25.6+ is optional for the panel. The free trial allows 40 searches without a credit card. Paid plans include $29 a month, $249 a year, and a one-time $199.00 USD Founding plan.
