DF Video Randomizer macOS

One folder of takes.
Hundreds of different reels.

Drop in a folder. Every subfolder becomes a slot, every video inside it a take. The app combines one take from each slot — and shuffles the order — until you have as many reels as you asked for. No two are ever the same.

How it works

01

Folders become slots

Name them in the order the story goes. Every video inside a folder is one take of that moment.

02

One take from each

The app picks a different combination every time and can shuffle the order of the slots. Lock the ones that must stay in place.

03

Reels come out ready

Pick a number, press build. Files land in your folder, named so you can tell at a glance what went into each.

SLOT 1
SLOT 2
SLOT 3
SLOT 4
SLOT 5

Why it is fast

Nothing is re-encoded

Each source is prepared once, then reels are assembled by copying. That is why a reel takes a third of a second instead of a minute, and why the picture is exactly what came out of the camera.

No repeats — by construction

Every combination has a number, and the app walks the numbers. It does not generate and then check for duplicates; duplicates simply cannot happen.

It never asks how many exist

The slider stops at the real ceiling — the smaller of the combinations that exist and the reels that fit on your disk. You cannot order more than is possible.

It can see what it cut

The app pulls key frames out of your sources and writes an edit map next to every reel — which piece came from where, and the exact second of each cut. Ready for captions and voice-over.
