View and edit Azure Video Indexer insights

This topic shows you how to view and edit the Azure Video Indexer insights of a video.

1. Browse to the Azure Video Indexer website and sign in.

2. Find a video from which you want to create your Azure Video Indexer insights. For more information, see Find exact moments within videos.

3. Press Play.

   The page shows the video's insights.

   

4. View the insights of the video.

   Summarized insights show an aggregated view of the data: faces, keywords, sentiments. For example, you can see the faces of people and the time ranges each face appears in and the % of the time it is shown.

   Tip

   The JSON output produced by the website or API contains Insights and SummarizedInsights elements. We highly recommend using Insights and not using SummarizedInsights (which is present for backward compatibility).

   Select the Timeline tab to see transcripts with timelines and other information that you can choose from the View drop-down.

   The player and the insights are synchronized. For example, if you click a keyword or the transcript line, the player brings you to that moment in the video. You can achieve the player/insights view and synchronization in your application. For more information, see Embed Azure Indexer widgets into your application.

   If you want to download artifact files, beware of the following:

   Warning

   We do not recommend that you use data directly from the artifacts folder for production purposes. Artifacts are intermediate outputs of the indexing process. They are essentially raw outputs of the various AI engines that analyze the videos; the artifacts schema may change over time. It is recommended that you use the Get Video Index API, as described in Get insights and artifacts produced by the API.

   For more information, see Insights output.
