Enable and view a clapper board with extracted metadata (preview)
A clapper board insight is used to detect clapper board instances and information written on each. For example, head or tail (the board is upside-down), production, roll, scene, take, date, etc. The clapper board's extracted metadata is most useful to customers involved in the movie post-production process.
When the movie is being edited, a clapper board is removed from the scene; however, the information that was written on the clapper board is important. Azure AI Video Indexer extracts the data from clapper boards, preserves, and presents the metadata.
This article shows how to enable the post-production insight and view clapper board instances with extracted metadata.

Clapper boards
Clapper boards contain fields with titles (for example, production, roll, scene, take) and values (content) associated with each title.
For example, take this clapper board:
In the following example, the board contains the following fields:
title | content |
---|---|
camera | COD |
date | FILTER (in this case the board contains no date) |
director | John |
production | Prod name |
scene | 1 |
take | 99 |

Clapper board limitations
The values may not always be correctly identified by the detection algorithm. Here are some limitations:
- The titles of the fields appearing on the clapper board are optimized to identify the most popular fields appearing on top of clapper boards.
- Handwritten text or digital digits may not be correctly identified by the fields detection algorithm.
- The algorithm is optimized to identify fields' categories that appear horizontally.
- The clapper board may not be detected if the frame is blurred or that the text written on it can't be identified by the human eye.
- Empty fields’ values may lead to wrong fields categories.
