What is a video moment?
A video moment is a search hit that names the source clip plus a time offset, and often a frame, so you can jump to the match.
Updated · Part of How does video search work?
How it works
- The frame row inherits the parent video.
- The iterator records frame_attrs: index in the stream and time in seconds.
- The query returns those fields with the similarity score.
What it is not
It is not the filename alone.
video moment: this, and the thing it is confused with
| This | Not this | |
|---|---|---|
| Returns | Clip and time | beach.mp4 |
| Needs | A frame row with a timestamp | A title embedding |
| User action | Seek to that time | Open the file and scrub |
Where Pixeltable fits
Pixeltable frame rows carry frame_attrs from the iterator (index and time in seconds), plus the parent video.
