Sports Highlights
Automatically identify and extract key moments from sports broadcasts. Detect goals, fouls, celebrations, and crowd reactions to generate highlight reels in minutes instead of hours.
Sports broadcasters, media companies, and content teams processing 100+ hours of live footage weekly
Manual highlight creation requires editors to watch entire games, costing 4-8 hours per match. Key moments are missed, and highlights are delayed, reducing audience engagement during peak interest windows.

Why Mixpeek
Combines visual action recognition, audio sentiment analysis, and text overlay detection for comprehensive moment detection. Real-time processing enables near-live highlight generation.
Overview
Sports highlight generation transforms hours of raw broadcast footage into compelling highlight reels automatically. By combining visual action detection, audio analysis, and on-screen text recognition, Mixpeek identifies the moments that matter — goals, dramatic saves, controversial calls — and assembles them into ready-to-publish packages.
Challenges This Solves
Manual Edit Bottleneck
Editors must watch full games to identify highlight-worthy moments
Impact: 4-8 hours per game, delaying highlight delivery and missing the engagement window
Missed Moments
Human editors focus on obvious plays and miss subtle but compelling moments
Impact: Reduced content variety and fan engagement
Multi-Sport Complexity
Different sports have different "highlight" definitions requiring specialized knowledge
Impact: Staffing challenges across sports and inability to scale coverage
