Search 40 years of footage in the time it takes to brew a pot of coffee.
Your archive staff spends four hours finding a 40-second clip. Meshora indexes every spoken word, chyron, and scene — then returns the exact timecode in under 50 milliseconds.
Decades of footage. Three percent of it findable.
Broadcasters digitized their tape libraries. They did not make those libraries searchable. A title, an air date, maybe a producer note — that's what most archive management systems offer. The other 97% of what's in your footage is invisible to your research team.
Point Meshora at your archive. Then search.
Connect your MAM or storage
Point Meshora at your S3 bucket, GCS project, or Azure Blob container. We ingest your existing file structure without requiring re-organization.
Meshora indexes everything
Speech transcription, OCR text, scene analysis, and entity linking run in parallel. A 40,000-hour archive indexes in roughly three days of continuous processing.
Researchers search in plain English
No training required. Type what you're looking for. Results show the file name, timecode, confidence score, and a transcript excerpt with the matching text highlighted.
Export clip or pull via API
Download the trimmed clip directly. Or use the API to pull segment data into your NLE, MAM, or rights management system automatically.
Regional broadcaster. 40,000 hours. Found 3× more archival clips for a documentary series.
The challenge
Crestline Media Group holds four decades of regional broadcast footage. Their research team was spending an average of four hours per research session hunting clips manually — and still missing 60–70% of relevant material, according to their own retrospective audits.
What they did
Connected their AWS S3 archive to Meshora in an afternoon. Indexed 40,000 hours over 72 hours of background processing. No changes to their existing storage structure. Researchers started querying the same day indexing completed.
The result
Documentary producers found three times as many relevant archive clips per research session. Per-search time dropped from four hours to under five minutes. The production team attributed the difference entirely to finding footage they didn't know existed.
"We uploaded four years of regional news footage. Meshora had it searchable before lunch. Our researchers were finding clips they'd given up looking for." Head of Digital Archives, Crestline Media Group
