Peakto Search for Capture One Pro: Find at a Glance Among Thousands of Photos AND Videos
MONTPELLIER, France -- Cyme unveils Peakto Search for Capture One Pro (on macOS), a plug-in that allows you to find any photos or videos, even without annotations and even if they are located in multiple Capture One Pro Catalogs or Sessions. This version 1.0 utilizes AI to instantly retrieve video passages or photos, based on a simple description or image. Always at your fingertips in the menu bar, even working if Capture One Pro is closed, Peakto Search saves valuable time for content creation or photo and video selection. The Peakto Search plug-in also exists for Lightroom Classic.
Indeed, we are accumulating more and more videos and photos, but this content remains hidden in folders and is not easily usable for new creations or shares. Peakto Search is the ever-accessible search engine active from the Mac's menu bar, essential for using all the photo or video gems that lie deep within our catalogs and not losing any memories.
Finding specific video segments
Finding specific segments in a video is the innovative feature of Peakto Search for Capture One Pro.
Peakto Search includes a groundbreaking and highly powerful feature: the ability to find any segment within a video using AI. Just describe or drag a similar image to the desired scene and instantly, Peakto Search will locate the videos containing that shot or shots. Even if the desired segment is buried within a lengthy video of an hour or more, the plug-in generates a preview of the video and highlights the searched passages (here's a short animation showing video search).
Peakto Search features
- Always accessible and active photo & video search engine: Peakto Search is always accessible in the menu bar and can find photos and videos even if Capture One Pro is closed. Peakto Search puts all the images and videos of a Capture One Pro user at their fingertips.
- Video passage search: Peakto Search analyzes the entirety of videos and therefore allows for searching for specific passages or shots within a video. Peakto Search's video player indicates all the passages within a video that match the search.
- Cross-catalog and Session search: Capture One's limitation prevents simultaneous search across multiple Catalogs or Sessions. Peakto Search for Capture One Pro resolves this issue by enabling cross-catalog and Session searches, seamlessly opening located photos and videos in their respective original Catalogs and Sessions.
- Instant results: The search result appears instantly in the plug-in, even when the searched asset belongs to an offline Catalog. Previews of the photos and a video player allow you to confirm that you have found what you were looking for.
- Description-based search (prompt): Simply describe the image or video passage you are looking for to find it. Peakto Search's AI scans the content of all photos and videos. It is no longer necessary to annotate content to find it; the AI is capable of recognizing it.
- Similar image search: Users can drag and drop an image into the plug-in interface, which will identify images or videos that resemble it.
- Filter by metadata: Search by prompt or similar image can be combined with filters. Number of stars, labels, media type, are all metadata from which to narrow down the results that appear in Peakto Search.
- Tight integration with Capture One Pro: Peakto Search is closely integrated with Capture One Pro. Found images or videos can be opened with a single click directly in Capture One Pro, in the correct Catalog. Users can also create a selection directly in Capture One Pro from Peakto Search.
- Protected privacy: Analysis of photos and videos by AI is done locally and therefore remains private.
- Multilingual prompt search: It's possible to describe the photo or video being searched for in several languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Arabic and Russian.
- For macOS: Peakto Search leverages the excellence of macOS's animation and interface technology to provide a unique user experience, with a plug-in always accessible in the Mac's menu bar.
Peakto Search simplifies the lives of Capture One Pro users by providing them with centralized and intelligent search across all their catalogs, allowing them to instantly find any content. This solution represents a valuable time saver, especially in the face of the multitude of files we manage.
