binquery CLI lets editors query local video bins using plain-language scene descriptions

binquery is an open-source command-line tool that allows video editors to search a local folder of clips using natural-language intent sentences. For each query, the tool returns a shortlist of 8 to 15 clips ranked by path, score, and relevance reasons, without writing to or modifying any NLE project. It supports two main workflows: sequencing separately-cut scenes by querying one sentence per scene, and identifying trailer-worthy rushes from raw dailies using a single intent phrase. The tool does not paste clips into Premiere, restore markers, or auto-cut a trailer — it only surfaces candidates from a locally indexed bin. Testing so far has been limited to three synthetic clips in CI, and a real-world demo requires users to index their own footage folder.
