Scrolling Text Extractor
Read scrolling/marquee video text via phase-correlation band detection, panoramic stitching, and VLM OCR.
Input

Output
{
"onscreen_text": "ALL extracted on-screen text: static overlays first, then scrolling-band text, joined with '",
"static_text": "Text extracted from STATIC overlays (title cards, disclaimers, captions, calls-to-action) via keyframe OCR. Null when the video has no static text or it duplicates the scrolling text.",
"scrolling_text": "Extracted scrolling text, combined from all detected bands. If multiple bands are found, their texts are joined with '",
"scroll_bands": "Per-band extraction details. Each entry contains: axis (horizontal/vertical), direction (right_to_left, etc.), shift_per_frame (px), and the extracted text for that band.",
"bands_detected": "Number of scrolling text bands detected in the video."

Video Transcoding (H.264/H.265)
Convert RED R3D, ARRI RAW and mixed-codec video to a web-playable MP4 on your object storage, with codec probing so a misleading file extension does not pick the wrong decoder.
Reverse Video Search
Search your video library by submitting a video clip as the query. The pipeline decomposes the query video into scene-level embeddings and matches them against your indexed video collection to find visually and semantically similar content.
Multimodal Extractor
Unified embeddings for video, audio, image, and text: scene/silence chunking, Whisper transcription, thumbnails, and Gemini vision.
Video Semantic Search Pipeline
Build a production-ready video search engine that lets users find specific moments across thousands of hours of video using natural language queries.
Video Keyframe Extraction Pipeline
Extract representative keyframes from videos with scene detection. Generate thumbnails, visual summaries, and frame-level embeddings.
Hierarchical Classification
Assign content to multi-level category hierarchies using embedding-based classification. Define your taxonomy once, then classify new content automatically with confidence scores.
