Find any frame. Instantly.
Search your entire footage library by what's in the shot, who's in it, and what's said — right on your Mac.
You know the shot exists. You just can't find it.
Filenames don't remember the golden-hour skyline. Bins don't know who's on camera. So you scrub. And scrub. Montaggio remembers for you.
Type a thought. Get the shot.
Plain language in. The exact frames out.

FAQ
The fine print, plainly.
ProRes, ProRes RAW, standard MXF, R3D, ARRIRAW, BRAW, and the common delivery codecs (H.264, HEVC, DNxHR, XAVC). Some proprietary RAW formats are decoded through the camera maker's own decoder installed on your Mac — if your NLE can play it, Montaggio can index it.
No. Indexing, face grouping, transcription, and search all run on-device. Nothing is uploaded, no account is required, and Montaggio works with the network cable unplugged.
A Mac running macOS 14 or later. Apple silicon is recommended for the fastest indexing; libraries keep working offline once indexed.
