Video reference search

The hardest part of pre-production is showing the team a shot that only exists in your head. Refsee is a video reference search: describe the subject, setting, light or mood and it gathers similar frames.

Results are split into ads and music, movies and motion design, and you can search by title or by voiceover as well. Open a frame and you go straight to the source film that contains it.

Starting with a few words such as golden hour or night in Tokyo is fine, and once a cut feels right you can keep exploring references that share its look. Search that includes voiceover is part of Pro.

Plus starts at $28 a month, which fits anyone whose work is mostly reference research, and the code GET20 trims 20% off that.
