External AI API charges are paid by the user. Fully local generation has no external AI API fees, but its output quality and performance may be lower than API-based generation.

FEATURES

One practical workflow for submission preparation.

Developed and improved by an active stock footage contributor through hands-on work with Adobe Stock, PIXTA, Shutterstock, Pond5, and Getty/iStock. It brings AI generation, quality review, platform-specific preparation, CSVs, and metadata into one tool.

01

AI GENERATION

Generate metadata for each destination

Analyze video, images, and illustrations to create titles, descriptions, and keywords.

Process multiple assets together. Titles and descriptions are adjusted for each site's limits and requirements. English keywords use a shared Master Keywords workflow by default, with optional platform-specific generation when needed.

  • Video-first, with image and illustration support
  • Batch generation for multiple assets
  • Adjust metadata for each platform's requirements
  • Use filenames and AI input hints
  • Prioritize important terms during generation and require specific terms
  • Use Japanese review translations when the Cloud AI setting is enabled

Reduce repetitive tagging and spend more time reviewing and refining the result. Local AI (Gemma 4 12B) does not generate the Japanese review translation.

  • Check required fields before export
  • Enable or disable destinations per asset
  • Support photo, illustration, and video workflows

QUALITY CHECK

Quality Check

Check candidates for clear technical defects on the PC before submission.

The conservative check is designed to pass ambiguous creative choices and focus results on NG and warning states that need attention. It supports visual review across large batches.

  • Black frames and white flashes
  • Momentary corruption and unintended cut changes
  • Freezes
  • Fixed black bars
  • Strong instability at the beginning or end
  • Clear focus loss at the beginning or end

Support time-consuming technical review and help reduce missed issues and avoidable rework.

This feature does not predict or guarantee the review result of any stock marketplace.

CSV & METADATA

Prepare files and metadata for submission

The workflow does not stop after generating copy.

Create CSV files tailored to each stock platform and embed metadata into submission-ready JPG files for photos and illustrations.

  • Automatically create platform-specific CSVs
  • Embed IPTC / XMP metadata into JPG files
  • Create submission-ready JPG files
  • Check required fields and length limits before export
  • Stop export when errors remain
  • Allow export after warning review

Go beyond AI-written copy and support output that connects to real submission work.

CHOOSE YOUR AI

From local AI with no cloud API fees to high-performance cloud AI

Choose generation by purpose, quality, speed, and cost.

The workflow is not limited to cloud services. On supported PCs, metadata can be generated entirely with local AI.

Local AI

No API key and no external AI API fees. A compatible PC and a local environment such as Ollama / Gemma 4 12B are required.

  • Run Local AI generation and AI Assistant processing in the local PC environment
  • Generation quality and speed may differ from Cloud AI

Cloud AI

Use provider APIs to choose high-performance AI models.

  • OpenAI
  • Google Gemini
  • Anthropic Claude
  • Refresh available models from the app

Cloud AI API charges are billed directly to the user by each provider.

READY FOR CHANGE

Designed to make platform and AI changes easier to review

Review and update supported platform definitions and available AI model information.

Update candidates are applied only after review. This is not a live monitor of every official specification; it is a workflow that assists with maintaining settings as submission requirements change.

  • Review update candidates for stock-platform definitions
  • Review changes before applying them to settings
  • Restore an earlier definition from update history
  • Manage supporting information for DeepMeta 4 and QHero
  • Refresh available AI model information

A review-first flow avoids silently applying specification changes.

BATCH & OVERNIGHT WORK

Let the process run, then step away.

Process multiple assets together. Automatic Shutdown lets you set a delay in hours and minutes or use quick buttons such as +30 minutes or +1 hour, then shuts down the PC when the timer expires. It does not detect when another process has finished.

  • Manage and batch-process multiple assets
  • Set the shutdown delay with quick buttons
  • Five-minute warning and an optional force-close setting
SECONDARY · AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN
AI ASSISTANT

Check workflow questions without leaving the tool.

Ask about Stock Footage Tool usage, current settings, submission conditions, API settings, and recent AI errors. When needed, the assistant can analyze safe diagnostic context and attached screenshots, TXT / LOG files, and validation results. It does not freely search the entire web for current information.

  • Reduce trips to separate browsers and manuals
  • Check settings against platform definitions
  • Never fall back to Cloud AI automatically when Local AI is selected
