DejaView
Spot reused footage across episodes, before delivery.
What it does
On multi-episode projects, clips get reused — sometimes intentionally, often not. DejaView compares your episode sequences against each other and surfaces every instance of duplicated footage: exact matches, clips used at different in/out points, and shots from the same card used in proximity across episodes. Load your AAF, XML, or EDL files, set your tolerance, and get back a clear, colour-coded Excel report showing exactly where the reuse happens and which episodes are affected.
Everything included
Flags clips that appear in multiple episodes with the same source timecode range — definitively the same shot used twice.
Catches the same clip used with a different in/out — a different part of the same take, across episodes.
Finds clips from the same card or reel used near each other across sequences — likely reuse, even if the names differ.
Load Avid AAF, Premiere Pro XML, or CMX 3600 EDL files. Mix formats freely in a single job.
Configurable similarity threshold catches renamed or slightly modified files that are the same underlying clip.
Full NTSC fractional framerate support — 23.976, 29.97, 59.94 — handled without rounding errors.
One colour-coded report with an episode-by-episode breakdown, a full duplication index, and editorial analytics.
All processing happens locally. No uploads, no accounts, no internet connection required.
