Moving contact sheets
from any video file.

ClipGrid is a focused Windows app that turns each video into a moving contact sheet — a grid of thumbnails, every tile playing from a different point in the source timeline, so you can scan the whole clip at once. Pick a template, drag in your footage, and let the queue render. No cloud round-trip, no watermark.

Output duration
Target-Driven

Set a target duration in seconds. ClipGrid solves for the optimal grid size and output dimensions automatically — or lock in your own grid via a custom template.

Output formats
MJPEG · H.264 · HEVC · AV1

Output codec and container are template-controlled. Royalty-free Motion-JPEG (AVI) ships by default; H.264, HEVC, and AV1 are opt-in per template.

Workflow
Batch Queue

Queue every file at once and let it run — live progress, phase, and ETA per job, priorities from Low to Critical, and retry or cancel at any time.

Live demo · your footage stays local

See it on your own footage.

A layout-and-timing preview of the contact-sheet format ClipGrid produces. The demo loads its libraries (React, Babel, ffmpeg.wasm) from CDNs, so it needs a network connection to start — but frames are extracted on your device and nothing you drop here is uploaded.

What's in the app

Five things ClipGrid does well.

01

Template System

Save named settings presets — grid size, output format, codec, timestamp style, colors — and apply them to any job with one click. Make it once, reuse it everywhere.

02

Batch Processing

Drag-and-drop from File Explorer or right-click "Open with ClipGrid" to fill the queue. Track live per-job progress, phase, and ETA; set per-job priority (Low → Critical); and retry, cancel, or remove any job.

03

GPU Powered Processing

Optional NVIDIA CUDA acceleration speeds up rendering on compatible hardware — and ClipGrid falls back to the CPU cleanly when no GPU is present.

04

Local. Period.

No accounts, no upload, no telemetry — your footage never leaves your disk, and settings, templates, and logs stay local under %APPDATA%\ClipGrid. Processing is fully local, with no activation or periodic license checks.

05

Native Engine

ClipGrid runs on a purpose-built native C++ engine that extracts evenly-spaced frames, composites them into a contact-sheet grid, and encodes the result — with NVIDIA CUDA (NVDEC/NVENC) acceleration when NVIDIA hardware is present.

Buyer questions

Things people ask before paying.

Where can I buy it?
Direct sales open soon, on this page. Stripe will securely process the payment, and ShoSoft will fulfill the order by email with your signed Windows download. Want a note when it opens? Write to support@shosoftllc.com.
Is it really one-time?
Yes — one purchase, no subscription.
How do downloads and v1.x updates work?
ShoSoft's order email contains a private link that continues to download the latest v1.x release included with your purchase. It does not expire merely because it gets old. If a link appears to be publicly shared, ShoSoft may pause it and send a replacement to the original purchase address.
Mac or Linux?
No. This release supports Windows 10 and 11; there is no announced macOS or Linux version.
What about my Premiere / Final Cut export?
H.264, HEVC, ProRes, VP9, and most common production codecs all work — ClipGrid reads the common production containers and codecs. H.264/HEVC source is decoded by Windows' built-in decoders; HEVC also needs Microsoft's free HEVC Video Extensions, which ClipGrid links you to if they're missing.
What's the output, exactly?
A contact-sheet video — one clip that lays your source out as a grid of thumbnails playing across its timeline. It's royalty-free Motion-JPEG (AVI) by default; H.264, HEVC, and AV1 are opt-in per template.
Can I see it before buying?
The demo above is a layout-and-timing preview of ClipGrid's output, and it runs in two modes: in your browser it mirrors the engine's grid geometry under a capped frame budget, and with the ClipGrid desktop app's local service running it uses the native engine itself. If the grid looks right on your footage, the desktop app will produce that layout at full resolution, with your grid settings, GPU-accelerated if you have NVIDIA hardware.
