Thumbnail search

You can use thumbnail search to quickly search for a moment of interest by dividing a selected time period into equally sized fragments.

To use thumbnail search, do the following:

1. Set a search interval (see Setting a search interval).
2. In the Interval field, specify the duration of the video fragments in the MM:SS format:
   
   
   1. If you don't specify the duration (00:00), the search splits the selected time interval into 12 equal fragments.

   2. If you set the duration to other than 0, the search splits the selected time interval into fragments of the specified duration.

      Note

      We recommend setting the interval to 10 seconds or more.

3. Click the Search button.

   Note

   Once started, you can stop the search at any time. To do this, click the Stop button, which appears instead of the Search button.

   The search results panel displays frames that match equal periods of time. The search control panel shows the number of found fragments.
   

4. If you can't find a moment of interest, start the second search iteration: double-click the found moment to search in the time interval from this moment to the next one.

5. Keep searching until the specific moment is found.
