The origin
"I just want to edit. Not spend half my day naming files."
Harry Charms, Creator of QUEDE
Harry Charms had been editing for fifteen years when he hit his limit. It was 2 AM on a reality TV production, staring down 400 unnamed clips from a three-day shoot. He'd done this a thousand times — manually scrubbing through footage, typing names, building folder structures by hand.
He closed his laptop and spent the next three months building QUEDE instead. A tool that actually understood what was in a clip. That could read a frame and know it was B-Roll. That knew what time of day it was shot and which shoot day it belonged to.
QUEDE is what Harry wished existed every time he opened a drive full of raw footage. It's built by an editor, for editors — with the specific madness of real production in mind.
QUEDE is used daily on reality TV, documentary, and narrative productions across the US.
