Your AI connector for Shotwave

Videos are full of valuable context but unless you capture it, it vanishes. Whether you’re reviewing a team meeting, sharing a code walkthrough, or recording ideas, Shotwave helps you save the moment.

Pieces takes it one step further.

Pieces is your AI connector for Shotwave: a powerful bridge that turns video moments into structured, retrievable, AI-usable context across your tools. It remembers what was said when it was said, and why it mattered so you don’t have to.

If you’re using Shotwave to record development sessions or share snippets, Pieces makes those moments actionable and discoverable in ways no generic AI tool can.

Why use Pieces as your AI connector for Shotwave?

Capture and reuse real-time video insights

With Pieces integrated into your Shotwave workflow, every captured video becomes a source of searchable context:

• Save key moments as video snippets

• Enrich them with metadata like speaker, timestamp, and code tags

• Search by concept, code, or conversation across time

• Reuse those insights inside your IDE, terminal, or documentation

No more rewatching, rewinding, or asking, “Where did we talk about that again?”

Structured context from unstructured video

Videos are messy. Pieces makes them usable.

Once connected, Pieces helps you:

• Extract and store the most valuable segments

• Tag them by project, file, or feature

• Link them to saved code, snippets, or notes

• Use them as prompt-ready context for AI tools in your workflow

This makes Pieces the best AI connector for Shotwave when your videos aren’t just content they’re knowledge.

Step 2: Save content from Shotwave to Pieces

When you record with Shotwave:

• Select key moments or clips

• Save them to Pieces via your desktop interface or Shotwave plugin (if available)

• Pieces enriches them with AI-powered tags, titles, timestamps, and descriptions

You can also bulk-save clips from Shotwave's archive for later AI queries or prompt generation.

Once stored in Pieces Drive, your Shotwave content becomes reusable AI context inside:

• JetBrains

• VS Code

• Terminal

• Raycast

• JupyterLab

• Cursor

• Goose

• And many other tools
  
  

You can ask questions like:

“What did I say about onboarding last Thursday?”
“Remind me what the dev team discussed about the cache refactor?”
“Pull up the code snippet mentioned in the design review video.”

All of it becomes searchable and answerable because the AI isn’t guessing, it’s remembering.
