A Central hub for your films and clips

Catalog all your movies, in any format

Easy Capture

Just connect your camcorder to your Mac, launch iDive and a few clicks later you’ll be capturing data directly from your camcorder into iDive’s database. iDive scans tape after tape to build an index of your DV Library. iDive detects clip boundaries, extracts information (dates, time, format) and takes sample images from each clip at regular intervals. If you want, iDive can also record the whole clip or simply index your footage by taking sample frames in full resolution.

From the sample images, iDive now allows you to recapture the best moments from your video.
Simply click on the images that you want to retain and iDive will search your video footage for the relevant footage. In this way, you can keep hold of the best moments and memories that shared between family and friends.

Visualize in a truly innovative way with Power Preview

With iDive, there’s no need to look through your entire footage to see what’s there. With a simple click, iDive can judge the nature, content and recording quality of your clips. Using Power Preview is a shortcut to faster and easier annotation of your footage, since it answers questions about your data.
