The best way to find UGC clips showing a specific product in use is to upload your UGC library to Cutsio, which uses Visual Intelligence to analyze every frame for product recognition, usage patterns, and brand mentions — making every clip searchable by describing what the video shows. User-generated content is the most authentic marketing asset available, but only if you can find the right clips when you need them. Brands collect thousands of UGC videos from customers, influencers, and brand ambassadors — unboxing videos, lifestyle shots, testimonials, and product demos. Finding every clip that shows "the product being used at the gym" or "a customer unboxing the red variant" requires manual review of each video. Cutsio makes every UGC clip searchable by visual content automatically. ## Why is finding UGC clips without visual search so time-consuming? UGC libraries grow fast. A single campaign can generate thousands of submissions, each with different framing, lighting, and product angles. Marketing teams typically organize these by campaign name or upload date — not by what the video actually shows. When the social media team needs "a clip of the product being used outdoors in natural light," they must browse through the campaign folder, preview each video, and note which clips match. For a campaign with 2,000 submissions, this takes hours or days. Most teams give up and use whatever clips they remember, leaving better-performing UGC unused. Cutsio eliminates this bottleneck by making every clip searchable by its visual content the moment it is uploaded. ## How does Visual Intelligence find UGC product clips? Upload UGC footage to Cutsio. Visual Intelligence analyzes every frame for product appearances, logos, usage contexts, and spoken brand mentions. Searching for "product being used at the gym" returns UGC clips showing the product in a fitness setting. Searching for "unboxing video" returns every clip where a customer is opening the packaging. Searching for "customer says they love the quality" returns clips where that spoken praise occurs in the audio. Visual Intelligence also recognizes product variations. Searching for "the red variant of the running shoe" returns only clips showing that specific color, filtering out other product colors and models. Searching for "product being used in the kitchen" returns UGC shot in kitchen settings, distinguishing it from bedroom or outdoor footage. This granular visual understanding means marketing teams can find exactly the clip they need without browsing through hundreds of irrelevant results. ## How do Collections and Share support UGC workflows? Collections organize UGC by campaign or product line. When a new campaign launches, all incoming submissions are automatically added to the campaign Collection and indexed by Visual Intelligence. The marketing team can search within the Collection for specific use cases, settings, or sentiments. Share links with password protection allow remote team members and agency partners to review and select UGC clips without downloading files. Selected clips can be compiled for campaign use or exported via XML to an NLE for ad creation. ## How does Cutsio's per-minute pricing make UGC libraries affordable? User-generated content libraries grow fast. A single campaign might generate thousands of clips from customers and creators. Under per-gigabyte storage, UGC libraries become expensive because video files are large even when short. Cutsio charges by minutes of footage. A library of 10,000 UGC clips averaging 30 seconds each has 5,000 minutes of content and costs predictably, regardless of whether the clips were shot on smartphones in 4K or standard HD. ## FAQ ### Can Visual Intelligence detect brand logos in UGC content?
