Search your footage the way Frameset searches reference frames.
Frameset helps teams discover references. Cutsio helps teams search their own indexed production footage, review through browser links, and prepare supported NLE handoffs.
Upload review media with originals linked
Upload supported working media, including ProRes on Studio and Enterprise. Supported camera originals can remain linked for conform.
Search by visual content
Find any shot, scene, object, or action across your entire library by describing it. Frameset searches a reference library — Cutsio searches your production footage.
Review & deliver in one place
Frame-accurate comments, version comparison, share links, XML/EDL export — all on your actual footage. No bouncing between a reference tool and a review tool.
Frameset is a visual reference search engine for finding inspiration from curated film, commercial, and music video stills. It doesn't let you upload your own footage, visually search across your production library, review cuts with frame-accurate comments, or deliver finished work to clients. Cutsio does all of that — plus AI-powered visual search across your own content.
Built for every role in production.
Frameset helps you find visual inspiration. Cutsio helps video-heavy teams search, review, and deliver their own footage. Internal users follow the selected plan and add-on limits, while external stakeholders can review through browser share links.
Directors & Creative Directors
Build treatments and pitch decks using visual search across your own footage — not just curated reference stills. Describe the shot you need and jump straight to it.
Editors & Post-Production Teams
Review cuts, compare versions, and leave frame-accurate feedback without uploading to a separate reference platform. Your footage stays in one place from ingest to delivery.
Cinematographers & DPs
Search your dailies by visual composition, lighting, camera movement, and lens type. Find the exact take across hundreds of hours of footage — no manual logging required.
Agencies & Production Companies
Share cuts through browser review links. Frameset is a reference library; Cutsio is an AI-powered MAM where teams work with their own footage.
Upload, search, review, deliver.
Cutsio turns supported media into a searchable, reviewable production hub. Visual indexing follows the selected plan allowance, and additional internal users cost $25 per month.
Upload supported footage
Upload supported media directly. ProRes is available on Studio and Enterprise; Enterprise can preserve ProRes and supported RAW pairs as linked conform assets.
AI indexes every frame
Every frame is analyzed for scenes, objects, people, text, camera movement, and speech. Unlike Frameset's curated library of reference stills, Cutsio indexes your actual production footage.
Search by describing the shot
Type "sunset exterior wide," "close-up of packaging," "aerial drone reveal" — find the exact moment across your entire library by describing what you see, not by browsing reference frames.
Review, comment, and deliver
Share with clients and team members for frame-accurate feedback. Generate share links, compare versions, export XML/EDL to your NLE, and deliver final cuts — all in one platform.
Frameset finds inspiration. Cutsio finds your footage.
Frameset is a curated reference library. Cutsio is an AI-powered MAM for supported uploads, visual search, review, and delivery, with separate pricing for additional internal users.

Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions editors actually ask. No marketing fluff.
Frameset helps you find visual references. Cutsio applies that same visual search to your own footage: describe a shot — lighting style, location, camera movement, color palette — and find matching moments across your entire library.
- Frame-level indexing of scenes, objects, and moods.
- Works across every project you have uploaded.
- Selects export as FCPXML / EDL to your NLE.
Yes. Visual Intelligence understands what the camera saw — "golden hour wide shot on a rooftop" or "close-up of hands assembling the product" — and returns matching frames with timestamps.
Search combines visual content, speech, and meaning in one query.
Frameset is built around reference and mood discovery. Cutsio is built around your library: upload raw footage, dailies, or archives, and everything becomes searchable by its visual content.
Directors and DPs use it to find past shots, compare coverage, and brief editors.
Group them into Collections, share frame-accurate review links with your team, or export a structured timeline straight into Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
Search turns into an editable sequence instead of a list of images.
Yes. Beyond searching your own footage, Cutsio Portfolios give you a public page at cutsio.com/portfolio/yourname to showcase selected shots and finished pieces — useful for cinematographers and directors pitching for work.
- Mark clips as licensable and set your price — you keep 100% of every sale, zero commission.
- Pulls from footage already in your library — no re-uploading.
