SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

VideoDB eliminates the manual work of watching, rewinding, and manually clipping video by automatically ingesting media, indexing what matters, and producing searchable, streamable results.

Core Features & Use Cases

Ingest and stream: Load local files, URLs, RTSP/live feeds, or desktop capture and return playable stream links.
Perception + indexing: Extract transcripts and visual/semantic/temporal indexes to support evidence-based search with timestamps.
Act with editing and exports: Transcode/normalize media, compose timelines (subtitles, overlays, audio, branding), and generate assets like images/clips for fast sharing or monitoring.
Real-time monitoring & alerts: Run WebSocket-powered transcription/indexing pipelines for live events and emit alert payloads.

Quick Start

Request: Ingest the video from the URL https://example.com/demo.mp4, index spoken words, search for "product demo", and return a compiled playable stream of the matching moments.

How do I search video content by spoken words and get timestamps?▼

To search video content by spoken words, this Skill ingests media, extracts transcripts, and indexes spoken words semantically so you can query phrases and receive timestamped evidence for matching moments.

Can I monitor live RTSP streams and get real-time transcription alerts?▼

Yes, you can monitor live RTSP feeds by running WebSocket-powered transcription and indexing pipelines that emit real-time alert payloads for live events as they occur.

What do I need to connect to VideoDB for indexing media sources?▼

You need an authenticated VideoDB SDK connection with a valid VIDEO_DB_API_KEY to ingest media sources, extract transcripts, and compile playable streams.

How do I edit video timelines with subtitles and overlays programmatically?▼

You can edit video timelines programmatically by composing subtitles, overlays, and audio tracks, then transcoding normalized media to generate compiled assets or playable streams.

What happens when a video search returns no matching moments?▼

When a video search returns no matching moments, the pipeline safely handles the "No results found" search failure without crashing, ensuring stable workflow execution.
