This article shows you how to view the Azure AI Video Indexer insights of a video.

    Insights

  4. Select which insights you want to view. For example, faces, keywords, sentiments. You can see the faces of people and the time ranges each face appears in and the % of the time it's shown.

    The Timeline tab shows transcripts with timelines and other information that you can choose from the View drop-down.

    Screenshot that shows how to select the Insights.

    The player and the insights are synchronized. For example, if you click a keyword or the transcript line, the player brings you to that moment in the video. You can achieve the player/insights view and synchronization in your application. For more information, see Embed Azure Indexer widgets into your application.

    For more information, see Insights output.

Considerations

  • The JSON output produced by the website or API contains Insights and SummarizedInsights elements. We highly recommend using Insights and not using SummarizedInsights (which is present for backward compatibility).

  • If you plan to download artifact files, beware of the following:

    Warning

    We do not recommend that you use data directly from the artifacts folder for production purposes. Artifacts are intermediate outputs of the indexing process. They are essentially raw outputs of the various AI engines that analyze the videos; the artifacts schema may change over time. It is recommended that you use the Get Video Index API, as described in Get insights and artifacts produced by the API.
