Edit Mind

A self-hosted AI video search tool that finds footage by speech, faces and scenes, with a Docker-based browser interface and local Ollama support.

Edit Mind is a self-hosted AI video knowledge base for editors, creators and people with large footage archives. It helps you find a moment by what someone says or what appears on screen, without remembering the filename. The self-hosted project isn't production-ready and may have incomplete features or bugs.

Search by meaning: Describe a moment in ordinary language to find matching scenes across your video library and jump to the relevant frame.
Speech search: Search timecoded transcripts for quotes, names and topics using full-text search.
Visual analysis: Find footage through detected objects, recognized faces, on-screen text and scene descriptions.
Automatic indexing: A background service watches for new video files and queues them for analysis.
Clip export: Download matching clips or a ZIP for manual import into your editing software.

The free self-hosted version runs through Docker on your computer or server, with a browser interface and NVIDIA GPU support. Its analysis uses Whisper, YOLO and DeepFace, with Ollama or Google Gemini available for language processing. Ollama supports local processing; Gemini uses an external service. Footage and the search database can stay on your machine without a cloud upload.
