DaVinci Resolve: Search media by face and object with Intelli-search
DaVinci ResolveDemo summary
The creator demonstrates the Intelli-search feature, showing how DaVinci Resolve analyzes clips to allow searching by specific faces, instruments (guitar, drums), or animals (fox).
Step-by-step
- Highlight the clips you want to analyze in the media folder.
- Click the 'Perform AI analysis in selected clips' icon.
- Select the desired analysis types such as faces, slate, transcription, or audio classification.
- Click Analyze.
- Open the Search bar and select the 'Faces' tab.
- Click 'Show Face Gallery' to view identified individuals.
- Select a specific face to filter footage where that person appears.
- Toggle 'Segments' to isolate only the specific portions of clips containing the subject.
Options
- Analyze for slate detection.
- Transcribe footage during the AI analysis process.
- Enable audio classification for different file types.
- Search by object keywords (e.g., 'fox', 'guitar', 'drums') instead of faces.
Watch out for
- The AI may occasionally misidentify objects, such as mistaking a bird's movements for someone playing drums.
Tips
- Use the 'Segments' toggle to quickly cut out and extract only the relevant parts of a long interview or clip.
- Turn off the 'Faces' search filter before attempting to search for objects or animals via text.
Highlights
“This is really handy when you have a huge catalog of footage to work from... this is so much better than what we had before.”
