## THE PROBLEM

You had two camera operators at a conference event. Both shot the keynote from similar angles. Both covered the networking area. Both grabbed B-roll of the venue exterior. Now your bins have dozens of near-identical clips from slightly different perspectives, and you're not sure which are unique and which are redundant.

Near-duplicates slow everything down. They inflate your clip count, make selects take longer, and eat storage. Worse, you might spend time color-grading a clip only to realize you already graded a nearly identical version from the other camera.

Manually comparing clips for similarity is tedious and error-prone. You end up keeping everything 'just in case,' which means the clutter never gets resolved.

## HOW YOU SOLVE IT WITH WIDEFRAME

01

**Agent compares visual similarity**  
Wideframe analyzes the visual content of every clip and identifies pairs and groups that share substantially similar framing, subject matter, and timing.

02

**Near-duplicates grouped together**  
Similar clips are grouped so you can see them side by side. Each group shows the differences -- angle variation, timing offset, framing differences -- so you can make informed choices.

03

**Review and keep the best**  
Go through each group and pick the strongest version. Remove or archive the rest. Your bins get leaner, your selects get faster, and your storage stops filling up with redundant media.
