Indexes
Indexes store and organize your video data, allowing you to group related videos. For example, you can create one index for all videos from a car race, then search for specific moments across all those videos in a single request.
Model configuration
When you create an index, configure which video understanding models process your videos and what modalities those models analyze.
Choose the models
Select one or both video understanding models based on your tasks:
- To search videos: Enable Marengo.
- To analyze videos and generate text: Enable Pegasus.
Choose the modalities
For each model, specify which modalities you want the platform to analyze:
- Visual: Includes actions, objects, events, text through OCR, and brand logos.
- Audio: Includes ambient sounds, music, and human speech.
Notes
- The model configuration you specify applies to all videos you upload to the index.
- You cannot change the model configuration after you create the index.

The response should look similar to the following one:
Note that the response contains, among other information, a field named id
, representing the unique identifier of your new index. Store this value to reference your index in future operations.
