Question 4

Labels

Accepted Answer

What are labels?

**Labels **are the different **categories **you can search for inside your video. You find them to the **left **of your editing dashboard.

If you want to find all scenes with Renée Zellweger in Bridget Jones' Baby just search for her in the category Celebrities.

| Tip! Don't see the people you are looking for? Upload an image of them to your _Collections _ and reanalyse the video for _Collections _ category only to teach NOVA to recognise the person.

Sometimes, what you search for will be a Parent. This means it's a label with subcategories - for example Bag. Within the label **Bag **you have briefcase, handbag and so forth. Another example of a Parent is Nature (lake, forest, mountain etc.) or Animal (elephant, dog, mouse etc.).

| Tip! To get fewer, but more accurate results, adjust the confidence level to a higher percentage. To get more results, which might be less accurate, set the confidence level at a lower percentage.

You can **remove **labels from your video timeline by clicking the small X to the **right **of them.

|| The box to the left with the check sign is whether a label is added to your export selection, so unclicki

Question 5

Why did analysis not work?

Accepted Answer

Why did analysis not work?

In order to save users costs and credit-usage, the default analysis settings only include few of the most popular categories.

To change this, here's what you have to do when uploading.

Fistly, make sure you're uploading on the Smart Search part of the platform, and not the Editing part. You an switch between the two parts of the platform by clicking here:

Smart Search / Editor switch

After having chosen the video you want to upload for analysis, click the small settings wheel.

Analysis Settings

As you can see, categories can be toggled on and off. Choose whichever categories you want analysed.

Export to Premiere Pro

Pick the labels you want to export. They are now in your "Selected" tab. If you are happy with your chosen labels, click the "Add to export" button.

The labels are now added to your export and you can see them at the bottom of the page. Click on the little arrow on the right to expand the tab, to check your selection. Remove any of the labels you don't want anyway by clicking the x.

Once you are fully happy with your selection, click the button "Export to Premiere Pro. This will take you to a settings page for your EDL file.

Set your project framerate to match with your Premiere Pro's project.

Give any name to your timeline. This will be the name of your timeline when you import your EDL file into your Premiere Pro.

You can choose to merge moments into one clip if they are found within a set time period.

Choose whether to have an EDL for every label or every video.
