Ad DirectorI used to download reference clips and then keep moving them around between different folders. Now they land in the library right away, I can categorize and star them, and a bunch of pointless busywork just disappears.

I used to download reference clips and then keep moving them around between different folders. Now they land in the library right away, I can categorize and star them, and a bunch of pointless busywork just disappears.
The tools I use most are clip segments and key frames. When I am building a client deck, I can export a batch of key frames and GIFs fast, and the whole process moves a lot quicker.
The worst part of writing a director's treatment is always hunting for reference clips. Now I can group footage by type and mood, cut a segment in one click, and drop it straight into my deck.
Downloading a clip used to be pure luck. Extensions would break all the time, and if I was in a rush I had to screen-record as backup. With CatchBan, the sites I use most just work, and downloads are fast.
I am collecting references every day. Being able to save first and sort later keeps me moving and makes it much harder for good ideas to slip away.
The biggest thing for me is traceability. I can jump from an export right back to the source in seconds, so review rounds stay clean and nobody wastes time asking where a file came from.
Pulling together pitch materials used to mean opening way too many apps. Now I can filter shots, export GIFs, and grab key frames in one workspace, so the creative flow does not get derailed by tool clutter.
My favorite feature is hover preview. It makes picking footage really fast, and I can drag starred clips straight into my editor, so prep takes about half the time.
I run my whole creator workflow solo, so the last thing I need is a complicated process and constant app-switching. CatchBan connects collecting through output, and I can finish an extra video most days.
