Transliteration Option on Video Indexer
We would want to have a transliteration added into the indexer, which allows us to change the language while searching keywords on the landing page.
This would make user experience better.1 vote -
Search operators (as with other Microsoft Services - KQL)
search operators as known from other Microsoft services known as KQL (keyword query language) would be great.
Actually, the search facility only supports simple keywords. At least, some basic and/or operators would be welcome.
Best would be to have a KQL for videoindexer which could combine queries through different index types, e.g.
face:"Donald Trump" AND (type:ocr OR type:transcription) AND transcription:( "Sars-Cov-2"or "covid-19").
Actually this could only be done through a two step search approach involving a server side (e.g. elasticsearch) or client side (e.g. minisearch, fuse, luna ) search engine at additional costs, dependencies and complexity.4 votes -
enable/disable auto play video
Currently when you "select" an insight the position of the payer changes and the players continue playing, even if the player was on pauze. It would be nice that the player is just moving to the position in the video without starting the playback. This makes it more easily to validated why an insight was found. For example you select a person in the insight widget the player moves to the position in the movie and you can easily validate the select frame.

Concept for full compliance with data and privacy regulations
On page 56, the French Mission Report Content Recognition Tools ENG V (*) says the following about Microsoft Video Indexer content recognition tool : "... the use of facial recognition systems, however, raises legitimate questions about privacy and personal data, especially if such use were to become widespread. It thus requires special regulation."
I have a great business solution for that. I would gladly submit it to Microsoft.
Best regards - Marco Mart

Finished Projects should be allowed to set to Public
Currently, Projects seem to be fixed at "Private" privacy setting.
I want to fix the transcript of several indexed videos, put them together within a single project, and ultimately share them publicly.
However, because it is fixed at private, I would need to render/download the project, and re-upload it as a video.
Unfortunately, this requires indexing the video again, which will get rid of all my fixes on the transcript. Additionally, this will cost extra money for indexing.Could there just be a Public setting for finished projects?

Cannot solve duplicated account error
I'm not sure how to solve this error.
Couldn't sign in to the Developer Portal
Another user with the email ‘<my-email-address>’ is already registered to APIM.
Note: If you have two or more users with the same email, and you want to switch between accounts, you can delete your Developer Portal account and register again.
Back to the Developer PortalDo I need to wait 90 days until another account has been deleted? Or Is there any idea to solve it?
Thanks.
1 voteThank you for reaching out.
A possible explanation is that you registered through a different provider (AAD\Microsoft\Google) and therefore there is a user with your email address. If that is the case you will need to delete the other account.If you are still having issues with this please contact support:

Video Indexer is a part of Media Services, therefore you can use these encoding and encryption services.
As for DRM in Video Indexer- can you please elaborate on the use case? -

Customer Feedback - Video Indexer Trial
I had a chance to test out the video indexing a bit more and passed it onto somebody who frequently writes up transcripts of interviews. He was able to test it out a bit and, while he was certainly interested in the technology (especially the translation feature given the large number of Spanish speaking interviews that he must translate), he determined that it is still easier to manually transcribe interviews than to go through and correct the mistakes in the indexed video.
The majority of the problems are due to the fact that most people being interviewed by police and/or…

Customized Character detection WITH face detection
Can we use both to object detection?
scenario:
- Contents like Power Ranger
- Face work well to actor
- Custom Vision model work well to Ranger2 votesThank you for reaching out.
Currently, you need to choose between indexing your video with an animation model or face model. Per you use case here, you can try indexing the movie twice, using both methods, and take the relevant insights from the JSON files created for each indexed version.
We will love to hear your feedback. -
When deleting a Video from VI, Return Notification When AMS Asset Fails to Delete Corresponding Files
When deleting a video from VI, the corresponding Assets in AMS will also usually be deleted.
However, if we put a Delete Lock on the AMS resource, the Assets will fail to be deleted when deleting a video from VI.Problematically, there is no notification of the Asset deletion failing. Is it possible to have this implemented?

The Detection Missed a Face
What can I do if the Video Indexer didn't detect one of the faces of someone who is very present in the video. That despite that I uploaded pictures of that person to train it, that were screenshot from the video I indexed. Could the problem be that the person is wearing glasses and often have a microphone in front of her mouth (but not always).

Serious problem in labels, especially in the Portuguese translation.
I just started using video indexer -- it's a good name that reflets accurately what the system does, providing labels and clues to the content. However I severely opose using the noun "insight" to name such clues, since insight is capacity, and a very human one. Showing a "list of insights" in the GUI is very confusing in English, and much, much more in the Portuguese version. The fact that the translator could not find a good translation is a good clue that the concept was ill-labeled. Please use all English dictionaries available and choose a better label -- "insight"…

For editing transcription you can click on “Edit”, then go to the Timeline, where you see the full transcription, and edit what you need.
You do not need to exit the Edit mode and choose it again after you moved to the Timeline.
