Before you request a trial
What can I search?
Your own videos that have been indexed in MediaDNA Library. Screenshot search finds candidate videos and matching time ranges. It does not search the web, trace an original creator or identify people by their faces.
Where are my files and searches handled?
Your original videos stay in their folders. Media indexing, feature extraction, matching and search all run on your computer. Sign in online to activate the app, then use these features offline within your license’s offline access period.
How do I get a trial build?
Submit your email and, optionally, your operating system or use case. We will follow up by email about availability and how to obtain a test build. The site currently uses applications rather than public downloads; a request does not guarantee immediate access.
