Definition
Visual understanding, powered by computer vision, is the AI capability to analyze video frames and extract meaningful information such as scene boundaries, object recognition, facial detection, emotion analysis, action recognition, text overlay detection, and composition analysis. In video editing, visual understanding enables the AI to 'see' what's happening in the footage and make intelligent editing decisions based on visual content rather than just audio signals.
How Loopdesk Uses This
Visual Understanding is the foundational layer of Loopdesk's AI pipeline. When you upload footage, Loopdesk's computer vision models analyze every frame to detect scenes, identify speakers, recognize emotions, find key moments, and understand the narrative structure of your content. This visual intelligence powers all downstream editing decisions — from where to cut, to which moments make the best highlight clips, to how to frame multi-speaker content.
