Video-Segment uses QR code markers embedded in your video to automatically detect and extract segments. This guide will help you understand how to use the system effectively.
How It Works
The system scans your uploaded video frame-by-frame to detect QR codes. Each QR code should contain a marker in the format:
ID-IN or ID-OUT
Where ID is a unique identifier for your segment. The system matches IN and OUT markers with the same ID to extract the segment between them.
QR Code Format
Follow these guidelines when creating QR markers:
- Use format:
ID-INto mark the start of a segment - Use format:
ID-OUTto mark the end of a segment - IDs can be numbers or alphanumeric strings (e.g., "001", "INTRO", "A1")
- Display QR codes clearly in the video frame for at least 1-2 seconds
- Ensure good contrast and lighting for optimal detection
Example Workflow
- Before Recording: Generate QR codes for your segments (e.g., "001-IN", "001-OUT", "002-IN", "002-OUT")
- During Recording: Display the IN marker at the start of each segment and the OUT marker at the end
- After Recording: Upload your video through the upload page
- Processing: The system will detect QR codes, match pairs, and extract segments
- Download: Access your processed segments organized by ID
Supported Video Formats
The following video formats are supported:
- MP4 (recommended)
- AVI
- MOV
Maximum file size: 5 GB
Tips & Best Practices
- Make QR codes large enough to be easily detected (at least 200x200 pixels)
- Use high contrast backgrounds (black QR code on white background)
- Hold QR codes steady in frame for 1-2 seconds
- Avoid motion blur when displaying QR codes
- Use consistent naming for segment IDs
- Test with a short video first to verify your QR code setup
