Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. SearchByVideo uses AI to recognize on-screen actions and movements, so you can search for what people or objects are doing rather than relying on filenames, captions, or manual review.
Do I need to tag actions before searching?
No tagging is required. SearchByVideo analyzes the raw video, so you can describe any action in natural language and search immediately after uploading.
Does it find every time an action happens?
SearchByVideo surfaces every matching occurrence it detects, ranking each result by timestamp so you can review all instances of the action across the video.
What kinds of actions can I search for?
You can search for a wide range of human and object actions, such as running, jumping, waving, opening, throwing, or turning. Just describe the movement in plain English and the AI locates it.
