Overview 

Chapters help viewers navigate the content better and save them time by allowing them to find the solution or information they require the most without having to seek or skip through the video manually. In VIDIZMO, users can generate chapters for their content using the VIDIZMO Audio Indexer App.  


You can configure the application to create chapters on audio and video files on your VIDIZMO Portal by adding 'Chaptering' as a processable AI insight. The application also allows you to perform automatic chaptering of content uploaded to your Portal, and on-demand generation of chapters for content that is already present. 


The Chaptering AI Insight is based on transcriptions, so your audio and video content must be transcribed. If no transcriptions are found, the VIDIZMO Audio Indexer will automatically generate them when processing your content for the 'Chaptering' insight. 


You can also add transcriptions for your content using content processing applications in VIDIZMO, such as Azure Video Analyzer ARM, AWS Indexer App, or the VIDIZMO Audio Indexer. 

 

Note: In DEMS, 'Chapters' are called 'Topics.' They function the same way as Chapters, the only difference being the name. This article explains these functionalities using an EVCM Portal, so the terms 'Chaptering' or 'Chapters' are used here.  


Pre-requisites 

  • Ensure that you have the required permissions to configure the VIDIZMO Audio Indexer App in your Portal's settings.

VIDIZMO Audio Indexer Configurations  

  1. Formats: Select the Evidence or Media Formats you want to perform Chaptering on. Select Audio for sound-only files and select Video if your file includes both sound and visuals. If you are on an EVCM Portal, this field appears as ‘Media Formats’ and 'Evidence Formats' in a DEMS Portal. 
  2. Insights: Use the dropdown menu to enable 'Chaptering' as an AI Insight that will be generated for your content during automatic processing. You can also add additional AI Insights in this field to generate them for your content along with the chapter generation. 
  3. Automatic Processing: Select the option to turn automatic processing on or off. If the "On" setting is chosen, any uploaded content will undergo automatic processing for the selected AI Insights without manual intervention. 
  4. Use the 'Save Changes' button to finalize and save all your configurations. 

 


5. Make sure you have the application enabled so that you can process your content according to your configurations.
