Remember the shot. Search your own video library.

Yes. MediaDNA Library uses AI visual features and frame structure to find candidate matches, then checks the full visual content before listing duplicates. Similar-looking shots or a shared clip alone do not make two videos duplicates. Duplicate checks compare the full visual content; audio tracks, subtitle tracks, encoding or picture quality may still differ. Review the previews, file locations and the version you want to keep before removing anything.

No. Duplicate review helps you compare copies, but removal requires your selection and confirmation. Network storage may require permanent deletion rather than the system trash; the app explains the action before you confirm.

Normal indexing and search run locally; original media is not uploaded to Photonseed. Account sign-in, licensing and diagnostics use online services. Automatic crash reporting can be disabled in Settings; native crash reports may contain limited memory fragments. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Desktop Content Search accepts supported local files and clipboard images, not text prompts or pasted web links. The browser companion can capture a video frame or the visible page and search it in your local library. It needs a compatible desktop app and browser connector.

Choose a screenshot to find candidate videos and matching time ranges in your indexed library. For a clip, start a video-file search and choose to continue with section search. Open the results and review the footage and file location.

MediaDNA Library uses a Photonseed account with Google sign-in for trial access and licensing. Local media search does not make the app entirely offline: sign-in and periodic license checks need internet access. Any temporary offline access depends on your current license.

MediaDNA Library is being tested on Windows, macOS and Linux. Request a test build with your email; we will discuss availability and how to obtain it. The Request access page explains the application process.

No. The extension supports direct video files and a subset of HLS/DASH on-demand streams. It cannot download live streams or DRM-protected media, and site restrictions may prevent a download. Chrome saves the file; a compatible connected desktop app indexes it. Only save content you have permission to download.

No. Request access with your email first, then install the build when it is available. Eligible first-time users start their 7-day trial at their first Google sign-in to a Photonseed account, including web-account sign-in. Requesting a build does not start the trial, authorize payment or become a subscription automatically.

No. Final subscription pricing for the public release has not been set; we will announce it when MediaDNA Library launches. You can request a 7-day trial without a card, and it will not charge you automatically. If you choose an optional paid checkout, its current payable price and any taxes are shown before you confirm.

Yes. Add each accessible folder as a media folder and let indexing finish. Original files stay where they are. A disconnected drive or NAS can appear offline rather than missing; reconnect it and update that folder before relying on search results.

Yes. Select the video in Content Search before adding its folder. The query file is not automatically indexed. Review verified full-content matches and their paths; if none appears, check that the relevant sources are indexed and available before deciding to add the file. A browser-frame candidate is not a full-file duplicate result.

Yes. Use All Files for filename or path text search and source filters. In Content Search, select an image or video file, or paste one image or supported media file from the clipboard. Video-file search checks full content first; you can then choose section search to find an overlapping clip.
