Tool avoids mimicing spooling through magnetic tape, like many current solutions
GridSearch has launched a video search tool for post-production and production teams, as well as end users.
The solution doesn’t mimic spooling through magnetic tape and instead enables users to navigate to a specific frame within the video by selecting the closest thumbnail to the desired moment from a grid of nine thumbnails - zooming in by a factor of eight each time. The search tool works with TV remote controls, tablets and smartphones, game console controllers, numeric keyboards and voice control.
It has been designed for end users to use on streaming services and similar, as well as post-production and productions teams for editing and quality control.
GridSearch founder Jonathan Bowles said: “Editing teams are under increasing pressure to perform reviews and edits in record time. Our tool can make it much faster for them to find the precise point in the video, speeding up that process and ultimately helping get content to consumers fast. It is a complimentary tool to AI to allow content discovery in video archives.”
He added on end users, “With so much content being watched on-demand, consumers want an easy way to navigate to the specific points they want to see. This is especially true for programmes such as Strictly Come Dancing, where viewers might want to skip directly to the dances.”
