About
Adding chapters to your videos improves engagement and navigation. Viewers can effortlessly explore specific sections of the content that interest them the most. In addition, viewers can utilize the transcript's search functionality to pinpoint relevant keywords or phrases and instantly access the corresponding video chapter. The chapters are added as content metadata, just like creating chapters manually. Chapter cue points are added to the entry.
Powered by AI technology, our video service transforms traditional watching into a personalized and efficient learning experience. This feature is particularly useful for learning, training, sales, and marketing videos.
