Frequently asked questions
Which Focus version should I download?

Is Focus free or open source?

Personal includes search and basic clip export; Pro adds Sequences and advanced exports for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro. Check current terms and pricing on the official site.
Does Focus work on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs?
The macOS 1.21.5 download is a Universal DMG for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 12 or later. This does not establish that this release has been tested on physical Intel hardware. The official trial page warns about an Intel speech-analysis issue reported in 1.21.3 and says 1.21.5 has not yet been tested on Intel Macs. Test transcription with the trial before relying on it.
Does Focus have a Linux or Windows ARM64 download?
No official Linux, native Windows ARM64 or 32-bit Windows installer is verified. The official trial page offers macOS Universal and Windows x64 installers.
Do I need to upload my video library to use Focus?
Core indexing and search run locally without uploading your video library. Initial model downloads, updates, license activation and optional connected features can use the network.
Where do the Focus download links come from?
