Embeddings Viewer
You can view all the videos in an index in an embedding space. To get started, click on the embeddings tab at the top of your page.
The viewer will take a few seconds to load and you will see something like this:
Note, if you haven’t uploaded any videos into an index, there won’t be any points to interact with. You can click and drag to rotate the view, scoll to zoom in and out, and shift + click to pan.
Hovering over a point will show you it’s video name, timestamp, and thumbnail preview:
By clicking on a point, a control panel will pop up allowing you watch the video from the selected timestamp and settings to highlight all the other points in the viewer. By default, all other points from the same video will be highligted in green underneath the Single color setting.
By switching to Time-based coloring the points of the video are colored based on their point in time. Points from earlier in the video are colored red and points later in the video are colored violet (rainbow pattern).
By switching to Nearest neighbors points we can see the points closest to the selected point and colored based on their distance to the selected point. You can set the number of points you want to be highlighted.
By default, points in the same video are highlighted. By checking the box at the bottom of the control panel, points from any video will be highlighted based on distance to the selected point.
