Settings

General​

  • Theme: Defaults to dark — projection-room warmth for editors. Light is for daytime office use.
  • Language: Defaults to the system language; falls back to English when it cannot be detected. AI scene descriptions follow this language too.
  • Notify on task completion: macOS Notification Center / Windows Action Center. Fires when an analysis or download finishes.
  • Share usage analytics and diagnostics (optional): Controls optional usage analytics and app diagnostics; minimal device identifiers for login, analysis quota, and abuse prevention are unchanged.

Not sent:

  • Does not send: video titles, URLs, search terms, file paths, media content, scene descriptions, transcripts, browser cookies, email addresses, passwords, or account content. Diagnostics try to remove local paths; raw events are retained for at most one year.

Storage​

  • Data directory: Stores the database, logs, cache and thumbnails. Restart required after changes; existing data is not moved.
  • Output directory: Where exported videos and materials land. Defaults to OmniLumeReel under the system Movies/Videos folder; can point at an external SSD.
  • Clear cache: Removes downloaded temporary files and intermediate thumbnails. Does not affect your library or analysis results.

Platform sources​

Choose which platforms are used by platform search. Disabled platforms are skipped on the Add Video page; pasted links are still checked by URL.

Download​

If you cap to e.g. 480p and the site only offers 720p+, the lowest available will be picked.

Analysis​

  • Frame sampling interval: Sample one frame every N seconds. Smaller = finer scene detection but linearly more AI calls and slower analysis. A 10-min video: 2s ≈ 300 frames, ~8 min; 5s ≈ 120 frames, ~3 min. Editing: 1–2s; quick previews: 5–10s.
  • Analysis window size: Video duration per AI call. Larger windows reduce call count but produce coarser per-window descriptions. Recommended 60s.
  • Window overlap context: Extra seconds of context added before and after each analysis window to handle shots crossing boundaries. Scene ownership is assigned by midpoint to avoid duplicates. Default 15s; set 0 to disable.
  • AI reasoning effort: "High" = best quality, slowest. "Low" ≈ 2–3x faster but with noticeably terser scene descriptions. Drop to "medium" first if analysis feels slow.
  • AI window concurrency: How many windows from one video can be sent to AI analysis at the same time. Default is 5; raising it can speed up long videos but increases service concurrency and retry risk.
  • Concurrent tasks: How many videos process in parallel. Default is 2; drop to 1 when CPU/bandwidth is tight, or use 3–4 on strong machines and fast networks.

About​

This app is a local desktop video asset manager. Downloads, transcoding, analysis, indexing, and task management run on your device; when platform content needs to be accessed, the app sends requests to that platform using cookies from the browser where you are already signed in.
