Example Usage
For most video trimming examples, you can use the Structured Outputs API to ensure that the returned response can be structured with valid video URLs and frame data.
1. Video Frame Sampling
Extract frames at regular intervals or specific timestamps for analysis.


Example of 3 frames extracted from the video for thumbnail generation.
2. Video Highlight Extraction
Our video agents can extract the best moments from a video, focusing on scoring plays and key actions.Example of 3 video highlight extraction.
3. Time-Based Trimming
Extract specific segments from videos with precise start and end timestamps.Example of time-based trimming of a 20 second video.
