Every moment marked.
Every edit faster.

An edit context API gives editing tools and agents a map of a video before they edit it, with scenes, shots, pauses, speakers, and key moments marked with timestamps, so editors spend their time on decisions instead of searching footage.

This is the planned API design. Video Context is in private beta, and beta partners help set the final design of each endpoint.

Editors need context, not only pixels

An editor, or an AI agent that drives an editing tool, works faster when it knows what is in the footage. Where does the scene change? Who is speaking? Where are the pauses? Which moments matter?

Video Context answers those questions before the edit starts, and gives the answers to your tools as data.

What gets marked

Scenes and shots. Where each scene starts and ends.
Speakers. Who speaks, and when the speaker changes.
Pauses. Silence and dead air, with their length.
Key moments. The moments that match your goal, in plain language.

Output that fits your stack

The result is timeline JSON with markers. It works with web editors, desktop editors, and the tools your agents already use. Your team gets video content out faster, and the creative decisions stay with you.
