Video Indexer - Where are the timestamps for Key Frames and Shots?

I've indexed my video and when I download the insights there are a couple of zip files:
_KeyFrameThumbnail.zip

_SampleThumbnail.zip

What I'm not seeing is anything that maps the images in those zip files to their timestamps in the video. I want to show a timeline of the thumbnails and allow a user to click one and jump to that point in the video, but I need some way to map the guid in the thumbnail filename to a timestamp in the video.

@Chris Harris I think the faces and shots version of the insights JSON provides the thumbnailId and the start and end durations of the thumbnail. Do you think this will help in your scenario to use the same and jump to the point in the video?
