RampantOctopus Softworks

Small, focused tools for Video Editors and Producers — built to kill the repetitive, error-prone parts of finishing a project, especially the last mile: onlining, licensing, and delivery.

StockSilo + StockAudit work as a team. StockSilo quietly logs every stock clip you download while you’re editing. StockAudit then compares your finished timeline to that log, so you get a licensing-ready report of exactly what stock footage actually made the final cut — no guesswork, no digging through browser history.

StockSilo

Never lose track of where a stock clip came from again.

StockSilo automatically files every stock footage download into an organized folder structure (StockSilo/<Project>/<Site>/Comps/) and logs it — date, project, file name, source site, and a link back to the clip’s page — across Pond5, Getty, Storyblocks, Artgrid, Shutterstock, and 15+ sites out of the box, with support for adding your own.

  • Project-aware: switch projects in the popup and downloads route (and log) accordingly
  • Smart enough to log the specific clip page even from search grids or generic “My Footage” pages
  • 100% private — no accounts, no analytics, nothing ever leaves your machine
  • Pairs directly with StockAudit for automatic licensing reports

SoundSilo

Never lose track of where a track — or its cue sheet data — came from again.

SoundSilo automatically files every royalty-free music and sound-effect download into an organized folder structure (SoundSilo/<Project>/<Site>/Tracks/) and logs it — date, project, file name, source site, and a link back to the track’s page — across Epidemic Sound, Universal Production Music, Artlist, Soundstripe, Storyblocks, and 24 sites out of the box, with support for adding your own.

  • Project-aware: switch projects in the popup and downloads route (and log) accordingly
  • Reads bundled zip metadata — composer, publisher, ISRC — from libraries like Universal Production Music, turning one zip into a full cue sheet
  • 100% private — no accounts, no analytics, nothing ever leaves your machine
  • Pairs directly with StockAudit for automatic licensing reports

StockAudit

Find out exactly what stock footage you actually used — automatically.

StockAudit audits your finished Premiere Pro XMEML timeline against your StockSilo download log (CSV/XLSX) to figure out exactly which downloaded clips made the final cut, how many times, and for how long — then builds a licensing-ready Excel report.

  • Stock Footage Used — matched clips with source site, URL, download location, and usage duration
  • Music Cue Sheet — same treatment, for music cues
  • Non-Stock Media — everything else, with a heuristic flag for unlicensed stock you may have forgotten to log
  • Summary — totals, frame rate, and the options used to generate the report

Rows needing licensing attention are amber-flagged, straight from preview into the final spreadsheet.

XML2Excel

Turn a sequence XML into a delivery-ready production binder.

Export your sequence as an XML, drop it into XML2Excel, and get a formatted, multi-tab Excel workbook: every clip with source file and timecodes, sequence and clip markers, effects, transitions, titles, a source-file summary, and a ready-to-send music cue sheet.

  • Flags source files used more than once
  • Identifies likely stock footage and music by naming convention (Getty, Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Storyblocks, Pond5, Epidemic Sound, and more)
  • Marks probable YouTube downloads in red so rights issues surface before delivery
  • Full control over report scope — enabled clips only, specific tracks, which sheets to include

FluxCapacitor

Timecode reconciliation for multi-camera shoots.

Line up timecode across every camera on your shoot — even when they were never jam-synced, or were rolling at different frame rates. Point it at the one sync point you know and it works out where everything else should be.

  • Reconcile any number of cameras — enter a known timecode on one, and every other row recalculates to match
  • Mixed frame rates side by side, with drop-frame and non-drop-frame counting handled correctly
  • J / K / L transport — run every timecode live, forward or reverse, at up to 8×
  • 100% private — no accounts, no tracking, works offline

  • Automatic drop-frame correction at 29.97/59.94 fps
  • Running history log — review or restore past calculations
  • Memory keys and repeat-equals for tallying a list of durations
