Perform Direct Video Analysis and Search with Gemini
Query video content directly without needing a text transcript.
Upload video files directly to Gemini to search for visual elements and spoken dialogue simultaneously, bypassing the need for manual transcription.
The Scenario
You missed a two-hour long technical workshop and need to find the specific 5-minute segment where the speaker demonstrates the new software UI.
Before & after
To analyze a recorded meeting or a video tutorial, you would typically have to watch the whole video and take notes. This takes at least as long as the video's duration (e.g., 60 minutes).
By using Gemini's native multimodal capabilities, you can upload the video file directly. The AI can timestamp specific events and summarize the visual content in under 5 minutes.
The Prompt
I have uploaded a video of [TOPIC]. Please provide a timestamped outline of the key points discussed and describe what is shown on screen at [SPECIFIC_TIME].
Because Gemini 1.5 supports native multimodal input, you don't need a transcript. You can upload video files directly to Google AI Studio to query their contents.
