Make your Large Video Library Searchable using AI Video Search

If you google the time spent searching files in the corporate sector, you’ll get to know the overwhelming amount of time others spend searching for documents. But not much data is available on the sheer amount of time that is spent searching for the specific video in the digital content library. 

Although the world of enterprises and governments is riddled with documents, videos are a much bigger problem. Because, despite their volume, structured and semi-structured documents still exist, making them relatively easier to find. 

Videos, on the other hand, are unstructured, all of them. And finding the right one is a different ballgame altogether. 

But don’t worry. AI video search can help you find: 

• The portion in the keynote where the CEO briefly discussed upcoming plans 
• A clip of the witness testimony that led the case in a different direction 
• A particular recorded board meeting where internal compliance issues were raised 
• A surveillance recording that captured the violation of PPE and OSHA compliance 
• An employee training video that explained a complex process needed to do the job 

Because searching for the above is not an easy job, especially when that’s a single video you’re looking for hidden among a library of hundreds of thousands of videos. In those moments, you need to be able to search inside videos to find the right one.  

This is why, in this article, we’ll cover AI video search that helps find the right video you’re looking for and helps you search inside videos. So, without any further ado, let’s get started. 

Understanding AI Video Search 

AI video search is a product of multiple AI technologies. You’ve got computer vision that detects objects in a video, automatic speech recognition (ASR) that separates speech from video, optical character recognition that extracts images, and so on and so forth. 

All of these technologies help you search inside videos. This works like a charm, especially when you’re clueless about the video title, the person who uploaded it, and the date range when it was uploaded. All you can remember is a certain object that was glanced at for a couple of seconds or a particular name that was mentioned in that video. 

Objects, spoken words, tags, or anything else in your video refer to metadata. This metadata helps you index your video content to make it easily searchable and help filter out irrelevant content. 

For instance, you can search for a particular video by: 

• Faces, along with their facial attributes, such as age, race, and gender 
• Vehicle type (car, bike, truck, etc.) and its license plate number 
• Spoken words, such as a name, a location, or a particular phrase 
• AI-generated tags and rich metadata, such as topics and themes 
• Automatically generated summaries of video and audio content 
• Activities happening inside the video, such as shopping 
• Text appearing in a video, detected using optical character recognition 

Use AI Video Search with VIDIZMO AI 

VIDIZMO AI helps you search inside videos using its AI video search capabilities. With VIDIZMO AI, you can search for a particular video content using the following simple ways: 

• AI-generated tags 
• Enriched metadata 
• AI-detected objects 
• Spoken words 
• AI-generated summaries 

AI-generated Tags 

VIDIZMO AI automatically creates content tags for your videos. Once they are created, they are automatically indexed so that you can find a particular video. 

Think of a three-hour-long executive communications video where, among many other things, the CEO discussed the compensation plan for the upcoming fiscal year. 

With VIDIZMO AI, you can simply jump to the relevant portion of that video by simply typing in “compensation,” and the AI-generated tag will do the job. 

Enriched Metadata 

With VIDIZMO AI, you can also search for specific video content in your video library using automatic topic modeling and theme extraction.  

Think of a long series of employee training videos that discuss a lot of things, and you’re unable to locate that one video where a particular strategy for avoiding burnout at work was discussed. It was a two-minute discussion, but a significant one. 

Using VIDIZMO AI, you can simply type in the topical term “burnout,” and it will let you skip all other videos and land you directly on the particular portion using timestamp-based search. 

AI-detected Objects 

VIDIZMO AI helps you perform AI video search using 20+ predefined objects, such as faces, persons, license plates, vehicles, weapons, and more. Other than that, you can also detect custom objects to search inside a video. 

Think of a surveillance recording wherein an intruder was detected in a critical zone. But you’re not sure at what point in the video he was captured.  

Don’t you worry, as VIDIZMO AI helps you detect the face of the intruder in the CCTV video and marks it on a timestamp so that you can directly jump to it. 

Spoken Words 

In most cases, videos also contain portions of audio within them. This means that it becomes essential to search for specific videos using spoken words, too. 

Think of a patient consultation recording that contains communications made from both sides – the doctor as well as the patient. And now you’re stuck because you’re unable to find that particular consultation. 

VIDIZMO AI helps you search for that video using spoken words, such as the medical condition discussed in the recording, the MRN number shared, and so on and so forth, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right video at the right time. 

AI-generated Summaries 

VIDIZMO AI automatically generates summaries of both video and audio content. This not only helps you analyze the video content but also helps in easily searching for a particular video. 

Think of a traffic cam video that has captured a collision between two vehicles. But it is hidden among hundreds of other videos that have captured collisions at the same intersection. 

So, what do you do? You use VIDIZMO AI to search for the video using the automated summary that helps you either identify the video using the vehicle type or the license plate number detected using VIDIZMO OCR technology. 

Find Videos Quickly with AI Video Search by VIDIZMO 

VIDIZMO AI helps you quickly find the right video at the right time, so you don’t have to face the embarrassment of not finding a particular video that was needed for compliance fulfillment, asked by your immediate supervisor for handing over to the other team, or was meant to be shared with the new employee.

Using VIDIZMO AI, you can search for videos using AI-detected objects, automatically generated tags, spoken words, AI-generated summaries, text appearing within videos, and enriched metadata, such as topics and themes.

People Also Ask

How does AI video search differ from traditional video search? 

Traditional search relies on manually entered metadata like titles, descriptions, and filenames. This is inefficient, often inaccurate, and misses the content inside the video. AI video search automatically analyzes the actual audio and visual content of the video itself, making every frame and every word searchable. 

Is my data secure when using VIDIZMO AI search? 

Yes. VIDIZMO is designed with enterprise-grade security. You can choose deployment options (cloud, on-premises, hybrid, SaaS) that keep your data within your control. It supports encryption in transit and at rest, strict access controls, and compliance with major regulatory standards, such as GDPR, CJIS, FIPS, and NIST. 

How long does it take to index my existing video library? 

The indexing speed depends on the total duration and resolution of your videos and your hardware/resources. VIDIZMO's system is designed for high-throughput processing, allowing you to index thousands of hours of content in a manageable timeframe. The process runs automatically once configured. 

Can the AI search in videos in different languages 

Yes, most advanced AI video search platforms, including VIDIZMO, support multiple languages for speech transcription (ASR) and natural language processing, making it possible to search for spoken words in various languages.
