Bursts

Master your bursts instead of enduring them

20 frames per second makes monstrous folders. Verdict automatically detects sequences using capture timestamps precise to a hundredth of a second, groups them and replays them like a GIF.

Bursts become an asset

🎞

Automatic detection

Frames shot less than a second apart (adjustable from 0.1 to 3 s) are grouped into sequences, numbered in shooting order.

▶️

Animated preview

Press V to replay the burst like a GIF at the speed of your choice. Motion jumps out — so does the right moment.

🎯

Dedicated navigation

Tab jumps from burst to burst, G selects the whole sequence at once, and “not a GIF” remembers your choice forever.

Cull a burst in seconds

Jump to the next burst

Tab takes you straight to the start of the next sequence — no more scrolling through the pile.

Replay it

V starts the animated preview. The 👑 crown already marks the technically best frame.

Mark and move on

Rate the best one, tag the whole sequence if it deserves a GIF, Tab for the next.

Frequently asked questions

How are sequences detected?

By the real capture gap between photos, read from EXIF with hundredth-of-a-second precision — what modern camera bodies actually record.

Can I exclude a false burst?

Yes: “not a GIF” (Shift+G) excludes the sequence permanently. The exclusion survives closing the folder and future re-detections.

What is the animated preview for?

Judging motion at a glance: a hesitation, a laugh, a bouquet toss… and spotting the bursts that will make great animated GIFs.
