As an agency owner, I ve spent way too many hours downloading massive 50GB folders from Google Drive just to find a single 10-second soundbite or B-roll shot.
I decided to solve this personal bottleneck by building BlumeSearch it s essentially "Ctrl+F" for your video footage.
The tool allows you to search for specific moments within raw video stored directly on cloud drives without downloading a single byte first.
As we gear up for our official launch this May 2026, I want to hear from the creators, editors, and makers here.
I'm looking for your insights on:
What is the most annoying part of your current video file management or "downloading tax" experience?
Which search features would be most useful for you: searching for spoken words, specific visual objects, or something else?
Are there other cloud platforms besides Google Drive that you use daily for raw footage?
To help us stress-test the system before launch, I ll be giving away 100 free search credits to everyone who shares feedback or a feature request in this thread!
Blume is a "search-as-a-service" tool that lets you search inside your raw Google Drive videos without downloading a single byte.
Simply paste a Drive link, type a keyword (spoken word or visual object), and get instant timestamps.
✅ Zero downloading required.
✅ Searches Visuals + Audio (AI-powered).
✅ Built for video editors managing massive footage libraries.
Stop scrubbing timelines and start finding. It’s basically Ctrl+F for your entire video library.
