  Open source repo for AI-driven video editing
</Card>

PromptClip is your new superpower for video editing with prompts. While editing, we all wanted to find that perfect moment in a video with ease. Say goodbye to manually skimming and seeking through video, and say hello to instant, AI-driven video consumption and creation.

LLMs are great with text, but they don't help you consume or create video clips. We've built [PromptClip](https://github.com/video-db/PromptClip), an open source repo to get you started on AI driven video editing. For example, you can just say:

"*Find the moment where Mr. Bean is attempting to cheat by peeking at the answer sheet of the man beside him*"

  <Accordion title="Spoken Word Indexing" icon="mic">
    * **Process**: VideoDB transcribes the audio content and creates a searchable index of spoken words.
    * **Implementation**: Uses advanced speech recognition algorithms to generate accurate transcripts.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Visual/Scene Indexing" icon="eye">
    * **Process**: Analyzes video frames to identify objects, actions, and scene compositions.
    * **Implementation**: Employs sophisticated scene extraction algorithms and vision models for comprehensive visual understanding.
    * **Customization**: Allows for different extraction algorithms and custom prompts for scene description. Find detailed documentation in our [Scene Indexing Guide](/pages/understand/indexing-pipelines/create-an-index).
