Savebase for Video editors
Remember the edit you wanted to study.
A transition, pacing decision or sound-led opening can be hard to describe after a week of client work. Savebase helps video editors keep the reference and their observation together. Collect examples by project and technique, then return to the exact idea when building a treatment or discussing an edit direction.
Start with Free. See plan availability for advanced features.
From save to useful reference
Record where the technique appears, what the cut achieves and which project it might suit. A note such as opening match cut or pause before the reveal makes a reference searchable. Keep the source URL so the observation stays attached to the creator's actual work.
Enable backup for eligible Instagram, Facebook, Threads and TikTok media while it is fetchable. A successfully backed-up clip can remain viewable when its original media URL expires. This keeps study material available; it does not provide licensed footage, project files or editing rights.
Request transcripts for supported saved videos and search for the phrase around a reveal or explanation. Pair that text with your own timing note, then inspect the recording for rhythm and image choices. Transcripts support reference retrieval rather than replacing your editing timeline.
A small, annotated collection is a useful place to begin.
Savebase quick start →Create a project reference folder and tags for pacing, transitions and sound.
Save clips with a timing note and back up eligible media you want to study later.
Review the relevant references before the treatment discussion, keeping footage rights separate.
Bring existing references through browser import or Pro file imports. Keep a portable record through JSON export.
JSON export includes active saved records and their notes, tags and folder names. It contains media URLs, not media files, and currently omits transcripts and automation settings.
Duplicate cleanup scans currently loaded posts, keeps the oldest record and permanently removes newer duplicates without merging their notes. Review the scan before confirming removal. See duplicate cleanup guidance.
Free includes any 2 of the 11 supported social platforms, up to 100 social posts, 5 folders and unlimited ordinary web links. Notes, manual tags, per-post reminders, JSON export and direct browser-bookmark import through the extension are included.
Pro unlocks all 11 social platforms, unlimited social posts and folders, dashboard file imports, on-demand AI Bulk Tagging, read-only ChatGPT/MCP access, Notion and Google Sheets sync, RSS, rules, webhooks, media backup and video transcripts.
Media backup must be enabled and successfully fetch eligible Instagram, Facebook, Threads or TikTok media. Request video transcripts when needed; new saves are not automatically transcribed.

No. Savebase organizes saved video references and notes. It can back up eligible social media and transcribe supported saved videos, but your NLE, project files, licensed assets and media delivery workflow remain separate.
Backing up a clip preserves reference access; it does not grant reuse rights. Keep your observation about the technique in Savebase and obtain the necessary permission or licensed footage separately before including material in a deliverable.
