AI Forgets Your Entire Video Library

You’ve invested thousands in video production. Every frame contains creative decisions—pacing, composition, brand consistency. But there’s a problem nobody’s solving.

🚫

AI Forgets Every Video You Upload

Your knowledge base has hero_video.mp4—but AI can’t remember it. Every conversation requires re-uploading and re-analyzing. Vision APIs cost $0.50+ per video. No memory between sessions means you’re paying to analyze the same video repeatedly.

⏱️

Manual Storyboarding Is a Time Sink

45-60 minutes to document a 30-second commercial. Inconsistent format across team members. Technical details overlooked. Next campaign starts from scratch—same work, repeated forever.

💸

Video Files Are Storage Nightmares

30-second video: 50-150 MB. 5-minute explainer: 200-500 MB. Multiply across campaigns and storage costs explode. Slow retrieval. Bandwidth consumption. And AI still can’t read any of it.

Frame-by-Frame Analysis. AI-Ready Documentation.

Upload your marketing video. We intelligently extract key frames based on duration, analyze each frame for composition, messaging, and brand elements, then generate a comprehensive storyboard-style document. Text. Not video files.

The cinematography style is naturalistic and approachable, using handheld camera work and natural lighting to create an authentic, community-focused feel. The lighting approach emphasizes bright, natural daylight for outdoor scenes and warm, inviting tones for testimonials. The color treatment features natural, unsaturated tones that allow the Citizens Bank green to stand out prominently. The emotional tone is optimistic, community-oriented, and approachable, positioning Citizens Bank as an accessible alternative to large, impersonal banks. Visual techniques include smooth transitions between testimonial and preparation footage, creating a narrative of anticipation and community integration.

Built for Video-First Marketing Teams

🎯

Marketing Teams

Challenge:
You produce dozens of videos per quarter. Documentation is inconsistent or nonexistent. When AI tools can’t reference your best work, every creative conversation starts from scratch. What pacing worked in Q3? Which visual style drove conversions? Nobody knows.

Solution:
Analyze every video as it launches. Build a searchable library of what actually works. “Show me pacing from our top-performing social videos” returns real storyboards with frame-by-frame breakdowns. Next campaign starts with institutional knowledge, not guesswork.

Outcome:
Video intelligence that compounds over time. AI assistants that understand your proven visual language. Faster creative decisions backed by documented patterns.

🏢

Agencies

Challenge:
Multiple clients, multiple video styles. Competitor analysis means watching videos on repeat and taking manual notes. Onboarding new team members to client video styles takes weeks. Documentation is scattered or missing entirely.

Solution:
Standardized storyboard format across all clients and campaigns. Batch analyze competitor videos in minutes, not hours. Create knowledge bases that survive team turnover. New creatives ramp up in days with comprehensive video documentation.

Outcome:
Faster client onboarding, consistent quality across accounts, scalable video intelligence that doesn’t depend on individual team members.

🎥

Content Creators

Challenge:
You’re producing video content constantly. Reviewing what works is time you don’t have. AI tools don’t “remember” your style—every conversation requires re-explaining your approach, your pacing preferences, your visual language.

Solution:
Document your videos as you create them. Build a style guide AI can actually read. Feed storyboards into your AI assistant’s knowledge base. Stop explaining your approach every conversation.

Outcome:
AI that understands your video style from day one. Creative recommendations that align with your proven approach. More time creating, less time explaining.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many videos can I analyze at once?

Video Analyzer processes one video per analysis to ensure each storyboard is complete, consistent, and reusable. For multi-video or mixed-asset analysis, use Campaign Analyzer.

What video formats are supported?

MP4 and MOV formats are supported. Most standard marketing and social video exports work without modification.

How long can a video be?

Videos up to 2 minutes are supported. Longer videos can be split into segments, each becoming its own knowledge artifact.

What if my video is longer than 2 minutes?

Current limit is 5 minutes to maintain analysis quality and reasonable processing times. For longer videos, consider splitting into segments (each segment becomes a separate storyboard) or contact us for Enterprise options with extended duration support.

Does the tool analyze audio or voiceover?

Yes! Video Analyzer transcribes and incorporates audio, voiceover, and on-screen messaging into the analysis.

Can I analyze competitor videos?

Yes, as long as you have the video file. This is excellent for competitive analysis and creative inspiration documentation. Upload competitor commercials, document their approach, build a library of competitive intelligence. Just respect copyright—analyze for research, don’t redistribute their content.

What happens to my video after analysis?

The video file is processed, frames are extracted, and the original file is discarded. Only the generated markdown documentation remains. We do not store your video files.

Can I download the extracted frames as images?

Extracted frames are not saved. They are temporarily created then deleted after the analysis is completed.

How accurate is the frame extraction?

Scene change detection is 95%+ accurate on professionally produced video (clear cuts, transitions). User-generated content with handheld camera work may have slightly lower accuracy but still captures key moments effectively. You can see exactly which frames were extracted in the storyboard output.

How do you extract frames from videos?

Our algorithm analyzes the video for scene changes and key moments, then extracts 6-20 frames depending on duration. We’re not grabbing random frames—we’re identifying the moments that tell the story. The algorithm looks for cuts, transitions, text overlays, and pacing shifts to capture your video’s narrative arc.

How is this different from uploading a video to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT analyzes videos at inference time and forgets them after the session. Video Analyzer produces a persistent, reusable knowledge artifact you can store, search, and reference indefinitely without re-uploading or re-analyzing.

How do I use the video analysis?

Use cases:

  • Copy into knowledge bases: Notion, Obsidian, Roam—anywhere that reads markdown
  • Share with AI assistants: ChatGPT, Claude gain context on your video style
  • Use in creative briefs: Give designers/editors comprehensive visual direction
  • Competitive analysis: Build library of competitor video strategies
  • Team documentation: Standardized format everyone can reference
  • Video audits: Track what’s working across campaigns

The markdown format works everywhere.

When should I use Campaign Analyzer instead?

Use Campaign Analyzer when you need to analyze multiple videos and images together to understand consistency, messaging alignment, and campaign-level strategy. Video Analyzer is for documenting individual videos as permanent knowledge artifacts.
