Settings page

General​

Theme​

Options:

  • Light
  • Dark
  • Follow system

Language​

Choose "Follow system" or a specific language. The 0.3.2 desktop app supports 19 language options. The language affects interface copy and also the output language requested by new analysis tasks.

System notifications for completed tasks​

When enabled, the app sends a system notification after analysis or download completes.

Share usage statistics and diagnostics​

This is optional. Enabling it helps understand version distribution, usage trends, and crash issues.

The app does not send:

  • Video titles
  • Video links
  • Search terms
  • File paths
  • Material content
  • Scene descriptions
  • Transcripts
  • Browser cookies
  • Email or password

Storage​

Data directory​

Stores the database, logs, cache, and thumbnails. Changing it requires a restart. Existing data is not migrated automatically.

Library path​

Stores downloaded video materials, exported clips, and material files. By default it uses OmniLumeReel under the system Movies/Videos folder. Use a large disk or external SSD if needed.

Clean cache​

Deletes temporary files, thumbnails, and other intermediate data. It does not affect the material library or analysis results.

Platform Sources​

This controls which sources platform search uses.

You can:

  • Select all platforms.
  • Deselect all platforms.
  • Enable or disable each platform individually.
  • Set per-platform search timeout.
note

After a platform is disabled, "Discover online materials" in Material Library > Import / Discover skips it. URL import still probes whether a specific link can be parsed.

Download​

When multiple quality options are available​

Options:

  • Automatically choose best quality
  • Limit to 4K
  • Limit to 1080p
  • Limit to 720p
  • Limit to 480p
  • Limit to 360p
  • Limit to 240p
  • Limit to 144p

If you choose 480p but a site only provides higher qualities, the app chooses the lowest available quality among them.

Analysis​

Analysis model​

Options:

  • OmniLume Classic: Stable segmented visual-analysis pipeline with a separate speech-recognition flow.
  • OmniLume Vision: Pro-only native multimodal model that can analyze video frames and audio together. It is locked when you are not signed in or do not have Pro.

OmniLume Vision estimates quota multiplier according to server policy. If your account does not have Pro entitlement, use OmniLume Classic.

Frame sample interval​

How many seconds between sampled frames for analysis. Lower values produce finer recognition but take longer and require more calls.

Recommendations:

  • Fine editing: 1 to 2 seconds.
  • General material organization: 2 to 5 seconds.
  • Fast preview: 5 to 10 seconds.

Analysis window size​

The video duration processed by each AI analysis call. The recommended default is 60 seconds.

Window overlap context​

Extra context carried before and after each analysis window to handle scenes that cross window boundaries. The default is 15 seconds.

AI reasoning effort​

Options:

  • Low: Faster, rougher descriptions.
  • Medium: Balanced speed and quality.
  • High: Best quality, slower.

AI output token limit​

Controls the maximum length of content returned by each visual-analysis call. The default and maximum are both 8192.

Minimum speech duration​

Video segments shorter than this duration skip speech recognition and run visual analysis only.

AI analysis window concurrency​

The number of windows from a single video sent to AI analysis at the same time. Increasing it can speed up long videos, but also raises concurrency pressure and retry risk.

Concurrent tasks​

The number of videos processed at the same time. Lower it to 1 when computer performance or network conditions are constrained. Raise it to 3 or 4 on stronger machines.

Maintenance​

Regenerates the local indexes used for semantic search and scene search. It does not delete the material library.

Use it when:

  • Expected scenes cannot be found after import finishes.
  • Scene search results are obviously abnormal.
  • Local index data is damaged or needs rebuilding after migration.

Advanced​

The advanced section contains software update controls:

  • Current version.
  • Last check time.
  • Check for updates manually.
  • Download and install.
  • Automatically check for updates.
  • Automatically download updates.

When a new version is found, the app asks whether to install later or download and install. It does not restart silently.
