Video scene detection made easy for developers
Integrate automated video scene detection into your application with an API built for simplicity, speed, and accuracy.
- Simple integration
- Add scene detection to your product with a straightforward API workflow and clean developer experience.
- Fast analysis
- Use optimised media infrastructure and AI pipelines to detect scene boundaries quickly at scale.
- Accurate results
- Return reliable scene segmentation data that can power editing, search, summarisation, and content indexing workflows.
Build Smarter Scene Detection Workflows with AI
- Search Scenes with Text Queries
- Find relevant scenes programmatically using text-based queries and scene metadata returned by the API.
- Support for Unscripted Footage
- Detect scene changes in unscripted videos such as sports, vlogs, events, and raw footage without relying on transcripts.
- Dialogue-Aware Segmentation
- For dialogue-heavy content, combine scene boundaries with speech-aware segmentation for more precise downstream workflows.
- Scene Length Controls
- Configure minimum or target scene lengths programmatically to fit your product’s workflow and pacing requirements.
- Scene Output for Next Workflows
- Return detected scenes as structured data or downstream-ready assets for editing, search, clipping, and automation workflows.
- Batch Processing Support
- Process multiple videos at scale with an API built for automated media pipelines and production workloads.
