Image to Video Search

Multimodal search
Image-to-Video Search is not a filter, it’s a distinct visual search method. Don’t try to apply it as a filter. If you’re after specific people / faces, better use Celebrity Filters or Facial Filters, faces require a specialist AI to identify them accurately.
Image-to-Video Search is included in all packages, no add-on required.

What is Image-to-Video Search?

Image-to-Video Search allows you to upload or select a still image (e.g., of a logo, a specific scene/shot or an object) and find matching moments across your video content where that visual appears.

It’s ideal for:

  • Finding specific moments / frames / shots in footage
  • Tracking props, locations, outfits, logos, or visual themes

How do I run an Image-to-Video Search?

  1. Go to the Search section (magnifying glass icon).
  2. Select Visual Search, this is required.
  3. Choose your content folder (e.g., Real Housewives of Salt Lake City).
  4. Set your search parameters: number of recommendations (e.g., 5 clips) and video length (e.g., 40 seconds).
  5. Click the camera icon to activate the image search function.
  6. Upload or select an image (e.g., a still of two celebrities from the show).
  7. Click Search to find video matches.

Can I use Image-to-Video Search with filters?

No, not yet. Image-to-Video Search is currently not compatible with facial expression or celebrity filters. We are actively working on turning it into a filter-compatible feature, but for now it must be used independently through Visual Search.

What kind of results will I get?

You’ll receive clips where the visual elements from your uploaded image appear, such as:

  • The same object
  • Similar frames or environments

Example: if you search using a still image of a frame with two cast members from a show, you’ll get scenes where those two people appear on screen together.

Anything else to keep in mind?

  • Always select Visual Search first, the camera icon won’t work otherwise.
  • This tool is best when used with objects, logos or shots.
  • For talent, use celebrity or visual filters, see Visual Search Filters Introduction.
