Feature

Three stock sites.
One search bar.

Stock footage is a tab-switching tax: open a site, search, download, import, rename, sort. Aperture ends the tax — the stock panel lives in your library, and import lands the clip as a fully processed library asset, ready to cut.

The easy explanation

Import ≠ download.

On other tools, "import" means a file lands in your downloads folder and now your real work starts. In Aperture, import runs the real ingest pipeline: storage, proxies, catalog entry, transcript if there's audio. The clip is searchable and cuttable seconds later — with every other asset in your library.

01
Search

One query, three providers. Filter chips compare results side by side.

02
Pick

Preview in the grid. Choose the shot, not the site.

03
Import

Real ingest — storage, proxies, catalog. Seconds, not a side quest.

04
Cut

Drag it into the timeline like any other asset. It's home already.

Details that matter

Admins keep the keys. Creators keep working.

  • Keys live server-side

    Provider API keys are stored in settings, never sent to the browser.

  • Stock audio too

    Wikimedia audio search feeds the music lane — auto-duck keeps it under the voice.

  • SSRF-guarded

    Downloads are allow-listed and size-capped. The ingest path is hardened, not hopeful.

  • Wikimedia needs no key

    Commons search works out of the box — attribution metadata comes along.
