ClipFinder HD

The brand-new Ashampoo Ashampoo ClipFinder HD gives you web video the way it should be. Search in up to fifteen video portals at once or in selected portals, view videos directly and convert and save them to your hard disk with a single click.

Nothing makes finding, viewing, saving and managing web videos easier. And Ashampoo ClipFinder HD isn’t just better, it’s also still completely free. CNET’s reviewers called the original ClipFinder “a breath of fresh air” among programs of this type and the new Ashampoo ClipFinder HD is even better and more powerful.

How it works

Ashampoo ClipFinder HD is a like a 3D web browser. You just enter search words in the Search bar and the search results from up to 15 video portals are displayed as clip thumbnails in the 3D Video Wall. You can search selectively in just some portals, just one portal or all portals. You choose. You can also create multiple searches in different tabs and switch between the results.

Click on a clip to play it, click again to save it to your hard disk and convert it while your saving. Zoom the video while you’re playing by turning the mouse wheel, another click plays in full screen mode with popup controls.

Navigating in the 3D Video Wall is amazing: Zoom in on clip previews with the mouse wheel, drag to scroll up and down and from side to side, point to a clip to see information, change the order and layout by dragging. In the 3D Video Wall interface it’s like walking around in your own boutique full of videos. Users who prefer the classic scrolling interface can activate it if they want, of course.

Organizing your saved clips is just as easy. Just define categories, put your clips in them and navigate them in the 3D Video Wall and organize them by dragging with the mouse.

The following menu bar guides you through all functions of Ashampoo ClipFinder HD. Click on the appropriate menu option, in order to get more information.

You can resize the application window, in order to see and select more video previews at one time.

When you enter a query into “Portal search”, Ashampoo ClipFinder HD is designed to systematically scan all portals at once for matching clips. With a click on the “Search” button next to the input field, Ashampoo ClipFinder HD starts the search.

A pop-up menu enables you to include the video in “my videos“, to download the video or to play the video. Just press the right mouse button above the video preview.
