Features · Scene Detection

Every scene detected,
every take organized

FrameQuery automatically detects scene boundaries during indexing, generating thumbnails, natural-language descriptions, and object lists for every scene. Organize multi-camera shoots into scene groups with take numbers.

Scene Analysis

Rich metadata for every scene boundary

Each detected scene includes everything you need to find it later.

Thumbnail

Representative frame extracted for visual browsing and search results.

Description

Natural-language summary of the scene including setting, action, and mood.

Objects

Detected objects listed as searchable metadata (people, vehicles, props, text).

Shot type

Wide, medium, close-up, extreme close-up, and other standard shot classifications.

Shot angle

Eye level, high angle, low angle, overhead, dutch, and more.

Dominant color

The primary color palette of the scene, searchable as a filter.

Scene Groups

Organize takes under scene numbers

Group related clips into scene groups with scene numbers, take numbers, and a preferred take marker. Built for multi-camera and multi-take production workflows.

Manual organization

Create scene groups with a name, scene number, description, and color. Assign videos as takes with auto-incrementing take numbers. Set a preferred take for each scene.

Filename heuristic grouping

FrameQuery can auto-group videos by filename patterns. Files named Scene01_Take01, Scene01_Take02 are automatically grouped under the same scene with correct take numbers.

Source Controls

Different settings for different folders

Override AI feature settings per source folder. Enable scene detection on one source while disabling it on another. Useful when you have mixed content (raw production footage vs. screen recordings) that needs different treatment.

Coming Soon

Automatic Clapperboard Detection

Detect clapperboards and slates in your footage to automatically identify scene and take boundaries. Group multi-take shots without manual sorting. Currently on the roadmap.
