Digital Video Library Organization
TMPGEnc KARMA.. can scan a specified video folder and add any supported video clips to its video library list. Videos can be sorted by name, creation date, number of times played, and more. Users can also rate videos by creating custom keyword descriptions or by color-coding them for even more sorting options.

Digital Video Viewer
Users have the ability to view supported digital video files directly in the software and watch it in full screen mode or in the background while organizing the collection. TMPGEnc KARMA.. also has multiple preview screens so users can watch multiple videos at the same time, and the viewing area can be customized and resized to the user’s preferences.

TMPGEnc TileShot CREATOR
It is possible to create a digital contact sheet of a video with the included TMPGEnc TileShot CREATOR. With this tool, users can create an image composed of thumbnail frames from the video, making it easy to preview the video contents without watching it. It is even possible to create an animated .gif file which cycles through a set number of frames from the video. These thumbnail images are great when used as previews on websites or archiving purposes.
