Unlock the Power of Your Video Content with Azure AI: Introducing Our New Workshop!

Do you have a library of valuable training videos on YouTube? Ever wished you could instantly find that one specific moment where a key concept is explained? Or quickly reference discussions around a particular term across all your video content?

We’re excited to announce our brand-new Azure Cloud Workshop: Intelligent Video Analysis with AI, designed to show you exactly how to achieve this and more!

Say Goodbye to Endless Scrubbing

Imagine this scenario: your training videos are a goldmine of information, but finding that crucial three-minute explanation on a specific feature often involves tedious scrubbing and guesswork. What if you could simply search for the phrase and be taken directly to that precise point in the video?

This workshop will guide you through building a powerful solution on Azure that does just that. We’ll leverage the cutting-edge capabilities of Azure AI services to unlock the hidden insights within your video content.

What You’ll Learn to Build

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to:

1. Ingest a Video (as a sample): We’ll start by processing a single video using Azure AI Video Indexer. This amazing service automatically transcribes the video, identifies key phrases, detects sentiment, and extracts a wealth of other metadata, all in a structured JSON format.
2. Make Your Video Searchable with Azure AI Search: The rich JSON output from Video Indexer will then be indexed using Azure AI Search. This creates a powerful search engine specifically for the content of your video, allowing you to quickly find any mentioned term or phrase.
3. Intelligent Interaction with Azure OpenAI Service: Finally, we’ll connect Azure OpenAI Service to your search index. This allows you to ask natural language questions about the video content and receive intelligent answers, often pointing you directly to the relevant segments.

The result? You’ll be able to search for any term or phrase within the analyzed video and pinpoint the exact moment it’s discussed!

A Stepping Stone to a Dynamic Video Library

The workshop focuses on demonstrating this powerful workflow with a single video as a starting point. But the possibilities extend far beyond that!

Our next steps (and potential future explorations) involve making this even more dynamic. Imagine each JSON output being associated with the specific URL of the YouTube video it represents. By doing this, you could eventually:

• Search across your entire library of training videos.
• Receive results that not only highlight the relevant text but also link you directly to that precise timestamp in the correct YouTube video.

Bonus: Your Own Intelligent Chatbot!

An exciting side effect of this setup is that you essentially get a chatbot “for free”. By querying the Azure OpenAI Service against your indexed video content, you can ask questions and receive contextually relevant answers based on what’s discussed in the video. This opens up fantastic possibilities for self-service support and knowledge retrieval.

Who Should Try This?

This workshop is ideal for:

• Learning and Development professionals looking to enhance the accessibility of their video training materials.
• Content creators who want to make their video libraries more searchable and engaging.
• Anyone interested in exploring the power of Azure AI services for media analysis and intelligent search.
