Find the Exact Scene in Videos Edited with Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve with AI

Let's be honest: scrubbing through hours of video footage just to find a specific 10-second clip is one of the most tedious tasks for any video editor. Even with powerful tools like Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve, once your video is exported, finding an exact moment later on becomes surprisingly cumbersome.

That's exactly where Fenn steps in.

The Problem with Current Workflow

If you're a professional video editor, you know the drill. A client or team member asks, "Hey, can you find that exact moment when...?" and your heart sinks a bit because you know it's going to involve:

• Opening your massive exported files

• Painfully scrubbing frame by frame

• Wasting valuable hours just to pinpoint seconds of footage

If you’re used to relying on macOS Spotlight for searches, you already know its limits when it comes to video files. For a deep dive into Spotlight’s pros and cons, check out this article on Spotlight search tips for Mac.

Enter Fenn: AI-Powered Scene Finding

Fenn was designed to eliminate this exact headache. Unlike traditional Mac search tools such as Spotlight or Raycast, which are great for file names but limited when you need to find specific moments inside videos, Fenn uses AI to index the actual content within your files.

This means Fenn can:

• Identify scenes by visual content, audio dialogue, and even on-screen text

• Instantly locate exact moments within your exported videos

• Provide timestamps for easy access without manual scrubbing

How Does Fenn Work with Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve?

Here’s the crucial part: Fenn doesn’t directly reach inside Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve timelines. Instead, it shines at indexing your final exported videos, whether they’re massive 4K renders or quick previews.

You simply export your video from Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve as usual. Fenn automatically indexes your files in the background. Whenever you need to find a specific moment later, just search in Fenn and you’re brought straight to the scene.

Real-World Scenario

Imagine you’ve exported a 45-minute documentary. Weeks later, someone urgently requests the precise moment when the interviewee mentions a specific keyword. With Fenn:

• Type the keyword or visual element you’re searching for

• Fenn instantly provides the exact timestamp

• Open your video, jump directly to the scene, and save countless hours

It's that simple.
