Your First Steps in Library: Installation, Setup & Importing

If you’re new to Library by LifeFlix and not quite ready to commit to a subscription, you can start with the free trial. It’s quick, easy, and gives you a great feel for how the software simplifies your digital media management.

Click “Sign Up for Free” in the top-right corner of the site.

Check the box to subscribe to our newsletter.

You’ll be redirected to the download page. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Library on your Mac. Once installation is complete, open the LifeFlix application and switch to Library view — you’ll see the viewing type displayed in the top-left corner.

To start importing, click the Import button. You’ll then have two options:

Connect your camcorder or video capture device using the correct cables:

FireWire – connect directly from camcorder to Mac.

USB – connect the camcorder to a video capture device using AV cables, then connect the device to your Mac.

2. Turn on your camcorder and set it to Playback mode.

3. Select your device in the list and click Start Import.

You can monitor the video in real time during import. To stop recording, click again — your video will automatically save to your Library.

Once imported, you can fine-tune your video’s color, exposure, sharpness, and more. Just select the video or photo, make your adjustments, and save your changes. (We’ll cover advanced editing features later — for now, we’ll focus on importing.)

When prompted, choose where you want your files saved. After that, your imported media will appear in the Library. You can also edit metadata later for better organization.

If your media files are already saved on your Mac, you can easily import them from Finder.

Follow the same process from step 4 of the Tape import section.

You can also import media directly from your iPhone.

Connect your iPhone to your Mac using a Lightning cable (or USB-C, depending on your model).

Unlock your iPhone and tap “Trust This Computer” if prompted.

In Library, choose Import from the iPhone.

Select the photos and videos you’d like to transfer.

Click Import to begin — your media will automatically appear in your Library once the process is complete.

This is a fast and convenient way to back up your mobile videos and organize them alongside your other media in one place.

You’re now ready to start using the Library to organize, import, and manage your videos with ease.

A Seamless, Smart, and Enjoyable Experience

Library was built to make file management not only effortless but enjoyable. With a sleek interface, smooth navigation, and powerful AI features, it redefines what digital organization can be. Whether you’re editing family memories or curating a professional portfolio, Library ensures everything looks great, stays organized, and is easy to find — all in one place.

Powered by AI — Your Personal Digital Librarian

At the heart of Library is advanced artificial intelligence designed to make your digital life simpler. Think of it as your personal librarian — scanning, sorting, and suggesting with precision.

Once you upload your photos and videos, Library’s AI automatically analyzes them to detect imperfections and areas for improvement. From lighting corrections to detail refinements, the system offers smart suggestions — and with a single click, applies them instantly.

This feature builds on our experience developing LifeFlix AI, recognized by many as one of the best video editors for Mac.

Organization has never been this intuitive. Library’s AI scans your media to identify objects, people, locations, and scenes — automatically creating tags that make browsing effortless. Whether it’s cats, buildings, or family events, your files are instantly categorized for easy access.

Finding the right file shouldn’t be a chore. With Library, all you need to do is describe what you’re looking for — “cat with a party hat,” for example — and our AI will locate the matching file using its smart tagging system. It’s as if your very own librarian instantly pulls the perfect piece from your collection.

Designed for Creators, Professionals, and Everyday Users

Library isn’t just about managing files — it’s about enhancing creativity and saving time. By combining intelligent organization with automated editing and search, it turns everyday media management into a smooth, satisfying experience.

We believe that managing your digital world shouldn’t be complicated. With Library, it’s as simple as upload, organize, enhance, and share.

Try Library today — your all-in-one digital media solution.

In today’s digital world, creators and everyday users alike are surrounded by endless photos, videos, and files — yet managing them efficiently still feels harder than it should be. Traditional tools like Finder do the job, but not much more. That’s where Library comes in — an intelligent, beautifully designed digital media management platform that transforms the way you organize, enhance, and rediscover your content.
