    How It Works

    1

    Upload your video file or provide a URL to the Mixpeek API.

    2

    Visual similarity and audio energy are analyzed frame by frame to locate transition boundaries.

    3

    Each detected scene is assigned a representative keyframe and a descriptive label via a vision-language model.

    4

    Scenes are enriched with metadata including dominant colors, detected objects, and on-screen text.

    5

    The full scene list is returned with timestamps, labels, and optional keyframe images.

    Code Examples

    from mixpeek import Mixpeek
    

    client = Mixpeek(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
    

    result = client.convert(

        from_format="video",
        to_format="scenes",
        options={
            "sensitivity": 0.5,
            "include_keyframes": True,
            "include_labels": True
        }
    )
    

    for scene in result.scenes:
        print(f"[{scene.start_time}s - {scene.end_time}s] {scene.label}")
