# Video Context for content and creator platforms

> Content and creator platforms use Video Context to tag, check, and understand every upload the moment it arrives, so their catalogue stays searchable and safe without a team watching each video.

> Status: Private beta. The API, SDK, and MCP server are open to beta partners. Book a call to get access: https://calendly.com/sam-reactvideoeditor/30min

## What teams do with it

- **Tag every upload**: Topics, people, objects, and scenes, added the moment a video arrives.
- **Check content**: Flag unsafe content, logos, and on-screen text before a video goes live.
- **Pick thumbnails**: Find the best frame in every video and use it as the thumbnail automatically.
- **Power search and recommendations**: Let people find videos by what happens in them, not only by title.

## Why content platforms need it

Platforms receive uploads all day. Every video needs tags, a safety check, and a thumbnail, and recommendations need to know what is in it. People cannot watch them all.

Video Context handles every upload the moment it arrives. It tags topics, people, and objects, checks the content, picks the best thumbnail, so your catalogue stays organised and safe at any volume.

## How it works

1. Send each new upload to Video Context.
2. It tags the video, checks it, and picks the best frame.
3. Your platform gets tags, safety results, and thumbnails as data.
4. Search and recommendations use what happens in the video, not only its title.

## What changes

- Every upload is tagged and checked automatically.
- Creators get their content out faster.
- People find videos by what is in them.

## Example output (planned API design)

```json
{ "video_id": "upload_88213", "tags": [ "skateboarding", "street", "outdoor" ],
  "safety": "pass", "thumbnail_t": 5.2 }
```

## FAQ

### Can Video Context handle a high volume of uploads?

Yes. Video Context processes every layer of a video at once, and it scales from one upload to a whole catalogue.

### Can it check content before it goes live?

Yes. Video Context flags unsafe content, logos, and on-screen text, so your rules can act before a video is public.

### Can it pick thumbnails?

Yes. Video Context finds the best frame in each video and returns it as data, so your platform can use it as the thumbnail.
