Organise and index

Bring footage in, keep it findable when files move or drives go offline, and group it into events and projects.

Getting the library in

Index every unindexed media file in a folder in one call, the same way index_video does

Index one video with Gemma, analyzing it in chunks

Add one still image to the Library, SVG drawings included, described so it can be searched by what it shows

Add one audio file to the Library

Process a video end to end: find and confirm faces, then index, analyze style and summarize

Read a file's format and streams with ffprobe. path can also be a clip id, filename or stem

Find the cuts in a video. path can also be a clip id, filename or stem

Re-analyze clips with a chosen vision model, and find analyses that are out of date after a model change

Rebuild the search catalog from every clip record on disk

Library totals: clips indexed, hours of footage, and how many have people and GPS

List video and audio files in an allowed folder, up to limit

The drives your footage lives on and which are connected right now, so you can plan around an unplugged drive

The folders GroundSlate may read and write: the ones you granted plus every profile folder

You choose which folders are indexed automatically, on the app's Watch page

Every watch folder with its total, processed and pending counts and its face setting, plus the library location

Pause or resume automatic indexing for all watch folders

You remove watch folders yourself, on the app's Watch page

Find clips whose files moved and point the library at the new location

Save a video, image, logo or audio file as a named asset in this profile, so later renders can use it by name

Download an AI-generated file from its provider into the library. For a file you found on the web, use fetch_asset

Download a file you found on the web into the library: a photo, logo, press image, illustration, video or audio file

Delete a saved asset by name, file included

Get a saved asset's file path by name, for use in a render

This profile's saved assets (logos, watermarks, b-roll, photos, audio stingers), each with its kind, size and path

What the file itself records: size, duration, dimensions, frame rate, codec, camera, date shot and GPS

Move library metadata from one flat folder into dated folders (YYYY/MM/DD/<clip_id>/), which Finder and backups handle better once there are thousands of clips

Repair Library entries for photos that were processed as videos

Add a content fingerprint to clips that lack one

One-time upgrade that lets older clips survive being renamed

List clips that depend on a folder that gets emptied. Read-only; nothing is copied

Precompute each video's loudest moments so Quick Cut runs faster

Move a finished file from Scratch Outputs into Library Renders. The file moves, so use the new path this returns

Move library media to Deleted Media. Never permanent, and the only way to delete library media from an agent

Bring media back from Deleted Media, undoing soft_delete_media

Collections

Create a Library or People collection, a simple ordered list lighter than a project. kind is "media" (the default) or "people" and cannot change later

List your Library and People collections

One collection by id: its members in order (including unavailable ones), cover, counts and dates

Add clips or people to a collection in the order given. Anything already there keeps its place and is not added twice

Remove clips or people from a collection without deleting them

Set a collection's order to the list you pass

Rename a collection. Its id stays the same

Delete a collection. The clips and people in it are not deleted

Events and projects

Group indexed media into events by capture date and location, then name and summarize the new events with AI

Create an event yourself, optionally from a list of clips

Delete an event. Its clips stay in the library and in every other event, project and collection

One event in full, with details about its clips. list_events and search_events give the short version

List events, newest first, with dates, places, cover and clip count, a page at a time

Have AI title one event from its dates, the people in it and its clip summaries. Stored as ai_name; a name you set is left alone

Have AI title every event that has no ai_name yet, one after another

Set your own title on an event. It is shown instead of the AI title, which is kept as a suggestion

Write and save a one- or two-sentence AI summary of what an event was

Summarize every event that has no ai_summary yet, one after another

A text summary of a whole event (name, dates, places, and each clip with its people and summary) to paste into an AI assistant

Clips that probably belong to an event because they fall within or near its time and place, ranked for you to confirm. Never added automatically

Clips you skipped as suggestions for an event, so you can bring them back

Bring skipped clips back as suggestions for an event. Check removed, not skipped_count

Find event titles and summaries that name someone who is not in your people catalog, a name the AI made up

Set an event's cover to one of its clips

Add clips to an event. Re-clustering will not remove them

Remove clips from an event. Removing the last clip deletes the event

Add a note to an event. Events can hold several notes, each with an author

Mark a favorite moment at t seconds in a clip. This is separate from favoriting the whole clip

Remove the favorite moment nearest t seconds

Create a project that groups people, events and clips across times and places

Copy a project, with its members, kind, summaries, tags, cover and notes, under a new id named '<name> copy'

One project in full by id: members, regions, AI name and summary, stats and notes

Every project in this profile, with its name, kind (personal or business), counts and notes

Add clips, and optionally people, events or avatars, to a project

Remove clips, people, events or avatars from a project

People, events and clips that probably belong to a project, ranked, each with the reason, for you to confirm

Reject a project suggestion so it is not proposed again

Files made for a project, newest first, as on its Outputs tab, each saying whether you marked it final

Remove a file from the Dashboard's Recent outputs list. The file is not deleted

What a project contains, how big it is, and whether anything is offline

Save text to a project's working folder

Read a text file from a project's working folder, so a new session can pick up where the last one stopped

Everything in a project's working folder, newest first, with path, area, size and whether each is text

export_projectIn the app

You export a project yourself, with Collect and Export on its detail screen

Every project note about one person, event or clip, across all projects

Undo a wrong automatic merge: pull one face source out of a person and rebuild their recognition from what remains

Add a note to a project. title is optional; body is the text

Edit a project note. Anything you leave out stays as it was

Delete one note from a project by note_id. Permanent

Pin a project note to the top, or unpin it with pinned=False

Add a note to a person, shown on their Notes tab

Edit a person note by note_id. Anything you leave out stays as it was

Delete one note from a person by note_id. Permanent, with no undo

Every note on a person, as on their Notes tab

Pin a person note to the top of their Notes tab, or unpin it with pinned=False

Add a timestamped production note to a clip. Earlier notes are kept
