Free, open-source AI metadata generation for stock footage and images.
Viscriptix generates professional descriptions, titles, and keywords for your videos and images in seconds — using Google Gemini, OpenAI, or fully offline with local Ollama models. It's a Qt desktop application that runs entirely on your own machine.
Viscriptix is released under the Apache License 2.0. There is no purchase, license key, trial, or feature restriction — every feature is fully enabled for everyone.
- Multiple AI Models — Compare results across Gemini, OpenAI, and local Ollama models to pick the best fit for your workflow and budget
- Airplane Mode — Works fully offline with local Ollama models, Whisper subtitles, and a built-in geolocation database. No internet required; media never leaves your machine
- DJI Drone Workflow — Extract telemetry segments and GPS data from full-length source videos, with optical-flow analysis for automatic camera-movement, location, time-of-day, and landmark descriptions
- Subtitle Generation — Transcribe and generate subtitles in 99 languages with automatic English translation, using a local Whisper model (downloaded on first launch or at install time — nothing is sent to the cloud)
- Reverse Lookups — Match color-corrected/cropped videos and images back to source media, recovering GPS location, AI prompts, and camera settings
- AI Lookups — Automatically incorporate original AI prompts when describing AI-generated images and video
- Agency-Ready Export — CSV files formatted for Adobe Stock, Getty/iStock, Shutterstock, Pond5, Storyblocks, and Envato
- Manual Classification — Bind common classifications to hotkeys for quick batch processing
- Stock Category Detection — Automatic classification across 21 Adobe stock categories
Most image and video formats, plus raw camera formats (CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG) and SVG.
