Works on the video you already have. No re-encoding.

Searching shown in the Mindstamp editor

What it does

Long videos become referenceable

Nobody rewatches forty minutes to re-find one instruction — so mostly, they do not rewatch at all.

Jump to the timecode

A search result is a place in the video, not a suggestion to scrub around and hope.

Long recordings stay useful

Webinars and lectures become something people return to rather than watch once.

Queries are a signal

What viewers search for tells you what the video failed to make obvious.

In practice

Where search matters most

Reference material people come back to under time pressure.

  • Product documentation delivered as video
  • Long training modules used as a reference
  • Recorded lectures revisited before an assessment

In depth

What searching is for

Enable quick content discovery and navigation through search. Search a video's content, including chapters, transcripts, and interactions with Mindstamp's interactive video platform.

Throughout Mindstamp, you have the ability to perform searches quickly and easily finding and filtering on your videos, views, and interactions. Since this is such a fundamental part of your productivity, we have brought it various other elements of our platform. Mindstamp gives you the power to search through your videos’ content, chapters, and interactions all at once. And, if you have a series set up, you can also conduct searches on all videos in the series as opposed to one at a time.

When you are in the interactive video editor, you can use the search bar to filter on the interactions and chapters that match your search. This allows you to quickly find an interaction or chapter that you have added to your video creating an easy way for you, as the creator, to navigate to specific portions of your video. Additionally, you will have the ability to search through the transcript, chapters, and interactions within your video. This creates an interactive way for you to find specific content in your videos.

Series are a powerful way for you to aggregate your content for your viewers. By using a series, your content can be discovered on a single page by your audience. Series also give you and your audience the ability to conduct powerful search across all the videos in your series. For example, if you have a series dedicated to your various products, a viewer can come to this series page and search for a specific video based on the video titles or on chapters, transcripts, and interactions inside of the videos. This provides your viewers with an efficient way to find content that is relevant to them.

Every use of this interaction is recorded against the person, not the play.
Placed to the second
Attached to the timecode it sits on, so results map to the moment that produced them.

Layered on the existing file — the original is never re-encoded or replaced.

Questions

What teams ask about searching

What does search look through?

The spoken content and the interactions on the timeline, so results land on a real moment.

Can I see what people searched?

Search behaviour is part of the interaction data, which is where the content gaps show up.
