ClipA subject can be a dish
ClipLogger’s subjects include people, items and places. An athlete is one use. So is a plate of shrimp scampi, a product, a restaurant interior or the margarita with the Tajín rim.
You supply the name and examples. ClipLogger uses their visual appearance to suggest other matches, and you review the results. The same workflow can organize a menu shoot, a product campaign or a season of game footage.
Name what you know
Create an item called Shrimp scampi. Draw a box around a clear example in the frame and associate it with that item. Add another useful view if the dish looks different from overhead or across the table.
Create a separate item for Tajín-rim margarita. Choose a crop that shows the drink clearly, rather than the whole dining room. Appearance matching can suggest the same-looking drink; it cannot verify an ingredient hidden from the camera.
Subject matching runs locally. The named record connects the examples and reviewed appearances so you can find that item again. How subject review works.
Give the shoot a useful palette
| Field | Example values |
|---|---|
| Menu item | Shrimp scampi, Tajín-rim margarita |
| Shot size | Wide, medium, close-up |
| Action | Plating, pouring, serving |
| Details | Steam, garnish, hands in frame |
| Rating | Your choice of the strongest take |
A subject field links the named item. Single-select and multi-select fields describe the shot. Use a menu or code-replacement sheet to enter the names your client actually uses, then let a vision model suggest the visible actions and details from selected frames.
Your palette tells the model what you care about. You decide whether its suggestions belong in the log. Palette guide · What gets sent for suggestions.
Find every useful appearance
Review suggested matches, then filter the directory by the menu item. Add shot size, action or rating to narrow the request. Shrimp scampi + close-up + four stars or higher is a useful answer to an editor who needs one more dish shot.
Use semantic or visual discovery when you have a looser description. Once you find a clip, mark the useful range or create a virtual clip with its own log. Search and filter the shoot.
Take the names into the next edit
Preview a filename such as Menu_Shrimp-Scampi_Close-up_004.mov. Enable sidecars for the fuller record, then check the fields and markers your NLE export supports. Keep filenames stable once an edit links to them.
The restaurant gets its next campaign. Your editor gets an archive they can actually search.
