How to Review and Organize Similar Videos with PhotoBase Cleaner

Shooting multiple takes is great—but it clutters your library fast. Here’s how PhotoBase Cleaner helps you quickly compare similar clips, keep the best takes, and remove the rest.

Why Review Similar Videos?

  • Storage Impact: Video files are large—keeping duplicates wastes significant space.
  • Find the Best Take: Quickly compare framing, stability, and audio to pick the winner.
  • Smoother Library: Fewer near-duplicates make editing and sharing faster.

How to Identify Similar Videos

  1. Open PhotoBase Cleaner.
  2. Select "Similar Videos" from the main review options.
  3. Let the app group clips that share similar content or timing.
  4. Tap a group to compare clips with thumbnail previews and quick playback.

Review Strategies and Best Practices

What to Evaluate

Technical Quality

  • • Stabilization and motion smoothness
  • • Exposure and dynamic range
  • • Sharpness and focus
  • • Audio clarity and background noise

Composition & Timing

  • • Framing and subject visibility
  • • Unwanted camera shake
  • • Best moments captured
  • • Start/stop timing and pacing

Quick Decision Flow

  1. Eliminate clips with obvious issues (blurry, clipped audio, heavy shake).
  2. Compare remaining takes side-by-side to pick the strongest performance.
  3. Keep the best clip, remove the rest to free up space.

Organizing Kept Clips
