Pricing
Every new user can start with free access and included credits to test the real retrieval workflow first. Paid plans add monthly AI credits for archive search, reference packs, and Ask-AI-style downstream work, while local import, local storage, and archive browsing stay usable even when credits are depleted.

Question-led evaluation
These pages answer the two most common buyer questions before they compare plan sizes: is this really for YouTube archive reuse, and is it a clip finder or a full editor?
Find clips from old YouTube videos and reuse old footage for Shorts
TraceVid helps YouTube creators search old local exports, downloads, drafts, and archive footage so strong clips do not stay buried in the back catalog.
Find clips from spoken moments when you remember the line but not the file
Use transcript-aware search to recover spoken moments, quotes, hooks, and lessons from old footage, then jump back to the exact clip that matters.
If monthly credits run out, purchase additional packs and keep building reference sets, archive searches, and new drafts without changing your base plan.
1,000 credits for $5
3,000 credits for $13
7,000 credits for $28
15,000 credits for $54
30,000 credits for $100
50,000 credits for $160
Credits are consumed by AI-heavy analysis and generation. Rerunning those actions consumes credits again.
AI credits do not meter local file ownership or your ability to browse your own archive.
Video analysis
Configured credits per video minute
A full video analysis task consumes credits based on rounded-up video minutes.
AI content search
Configured credits per request
Each cloud AI content search request consumes a fixed number of credits.
AI chat
Configured token formula (default: max(3, ceil(total tokens / 1000)))
Each AI chat request is billed by normalized total tokens using the active credit rate card. The default baseline is a minimum of 3 credits and 1 credit per 1,000 tokens.

Supported platforms for TraceVid and what local desktop support really means
TraceVid currently offers public desktop downloads for Windows x64, macOS Intel, and macOS Apple Silicon as part of a local-first archive workflow.
Why local-first video search matters for privacy, speed, and archive control
TraceVid keeps source footage in the user’s own archive structure by default, then applies AI selectively where retrieval value is worth the cost.
