SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

VideoDB helps you transform raw video, live streams, and desktop captures into actionable context by indexing what was said and what appeared on screen, then turning those findings into clips, playable streams, and generated media assets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Video ingest & playback: Ingest from local files, URLs, or RTSP/live feeds and return playable stream links after server-side normalization and transcoding.
  • Indexing for search: Build spoken-word and scene indexes, then search for exact moments with timestamps and evidence links.
  • Timeline editing & generation: Create highlight reels and recaps using server-side timeline compositions (trim/sequence, overlays, subtitles, audio layering), plus AI-generated assets.
  • Live monitoring & alerts: Run real-time transcription/visual indexing pipelines over live streams or desktop capture and emit events/alerts.

Quick Start

Use the videodb skill to ingest a URL, index spoken words, search for a moment (e.g., "product demo"), and return a compiled playable stream link.

Frequently Asked Questions about videodb

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search for specific moments within a video file?

To search for specific moments within a video, you can ingest media from files or URLs and build spoken-word and scene indexes. This allows you to execute timestamped searches for exact moments and compile the results into playable stream links.

How can I monitor RTSP live streams and get real-time alerts?

You can monitor RTSP live streams by running real-time transcription and visual indexing pipelines over your live feeds. This process enables you to emit events and alerts based on the spoken words and scenes captured during the live broadcast.

Do I need a Python environment to use the VideoDB SDK?

Yes, you need a Python environment to use the VideoDB SDK. You must configure your environment variables with a valid VIDEO_DB_API_KEY to authenticate requests and safely handle indexing-idempotency errors during media processing.

What is the best way to create highlight reels with subtitles and overlays?

The best way to create highlight reels with subtitles and overlays is by using server-side timeline compositions. You can trim and sequence clips, layer audio, apply overlays, generate subtitles, and output playable HLS stream URLs after transcoding normalization.

Why does my spoken-word search return no results found?

Your spoken-word search returns no results found if the indexing process has not completed or the media lacks clear audio. You must ensure your media is properly ingested and indexed idempotently, handling "No results found" errors safely in your code.
