Searching video frames

Searching video frames

Searching video frames

Search for visual content in your videos by describing objects, people, scenes, or actions.

Search for visual content in your videos by describing objects, people, scenes, or actions.

Copied!

Find any moment in any video by describing what you see. Eden analyzes every frame, so you can search for visual content the same way you'd describe it to a person.

How It Works

Eden analyzes each frame of your videos to understand:

  • Objects — Cars, phones, furniture, food

  • People — Clothing, actions, expressions

  • Scenes — Indoors, outdoors, office, kitchen

  • Colors — Dominant colors, specific items

  • Text — Anything visible on screen

  • Actions — Walking, talking, typing, cooking

When you search, Eden matches your description against this analysis and returns the most relevant frames.

Search Examples

What You're Looking For

What to Search

A specific person's outfit

"person wearing blue sweater"

"standing in front of whiteboard"

Try It Now

  1. Open the search bar

  2. Type a description of something in one of your videos

  3. Press Enter

  4. Look for Frame matches in your results

Click any frame result to jump directly to that moment in the video.

Tips for Better Frame Searches

Be specific

Instead of "person," try "person in red jacket" or "woman with glasses."

Describe what's visible

Search for what you'd see in the frame, not what you know about it. "Man holding microphone" works better than "podcast host."

Try different angles

If "laptop" doesn't find what you need, try "hands typing" or "computer screen."

Combine elements

"Person standing next to car outdoors" is more specific than just "car."

Searching Within a Video

To search within a specific video instead of your whole workspace:

  1. Open the video

  2. Press Cmd/Ctrl + F

  3. Enter your search

This searches both frames and transcript within that video only.

Frame Search vs. Transcript Search

Eden offers two types of search:

Frame Search

Transcript Search

What you hear

"Person in blue shirt"

"When they say revenue"

"Product on table"

"Mentions the deadline"

Spoken content

Use Cases

Finding B-roll

You know you have footage of a sunset somewhere in your hours of clips. Search "sunset" and find every sunset frame across all your videos.

Locating specific scenes

"Interview in the conference room" finds exactly those shots without scrubbing through everything.

Reviewing product footage

"Close-up of packaging" surfaces every packaging shot for review.

Finding reference frames

"Slide with the graph" finds presentation moments without watching the whole recording.

Common Questions

How accurate is frame search?

It's very good at finding obvious visual elements. More abstract or subtle details may require trying different search terms.

Does it search every frame?

Eden analyzes frames throughout the video. It captures the visual content comprehensively without analyzing every single frame at full resolution.

Can I search for faces?

You can search for descriptions like "person with beard" or "woman in blue shirt," but Eden doesn't identify specific individuals.

Why didn't my search find anything?

Try different descriptions. If you searched "dog," try "animal" or "pet." The frame analysis might use different terms than you expect.

Does this work on YouTube links?

Yes. Any video in your workspace — uploaded or linked — gets the same frame analysis.
