What can iDive do for you?

Your movie collection is expanding (on memory card, hard drive, DVDs or even video cassette), but you don't know how to organize them? Don't lose those precious personal moments or your all important professional footage... let iDive take control! In a few clicks, iDive will automatically display your footage collection in thumbnails and/or one or more samples for each clip.

A Central hub for your films and clips

iDive is the must-have tool for cataloging and organizing all your videos. iDive allows you to import any video file format that can be opened by QuickTime and keep track of your videos, CDs or DVDs. iMovie users will find a tool that lets them browse through all their projects and catalog clips captured in iMovie.

Catalog all your movies, in any format

iDive is the ideal cataloging solution for all your movie files as it features QuickTime import capabilities allowing you to keep track of all video files whether they come from a camcorder, are downloaded from the Internet, stored on a hard drive or from CD/DVD.

Easy Capture

Just connect your camcorder to your Mac, launch iDive and a few clicks later you’ll be capturing data directly from your camcorder into iDive’s database. iDive scans tape after tape to build an index of your DV Library. iDive detects clip boundaries, extracts information (dates, time, format) and takes sample images from each clip at regular intervals. If you want, iDive can also record the whole clip or simply index your footage by taking sample frames in full resolution.

Visualize in a truly innovative way with Power Preview

With iDive, there’s no need to look through your entire footage to see what’s there. With a simple click, iDive can judge the nature, content and recording quality of your clips. Using Power Preview is a shortcut to faster and easier annotation of your footage, since it answers questions about your data.
