Overview

CI's intelligent thumbnail feature intelligently analyzes the quality, brilliance, and content relevance of video frames by understanding the video content with Tencent Media Lab's advanced AI technologies. Then, it extracts optimal frames to generate thumbnails to make the content more engaging.

Note：

• The intelligent thumbnail feature is a paid service and billed by the video duration. For billing details, see "Media Processing Fees".
• Three optimal keyframes will be output through smart analysis of each video file.

Use Cases

Video platform

For traditional video platforms, reviewers need to watch videos and then manually select thumbnails, which is labor consuming and slows down video release. The intelligent thumbnail feature can quickly select the most striking frames as thumbnails, which saves labor resources and accelerates video release.

Family album

At present, most family album services can display only images in loop. For video files in smart albums, the intelligent thumbnail feature can be used to automatically generate album thumbnails for loop display, thereby increasing the richness and utilization of family albums.
