select them all, 47 00:01:30,970 --> 00:01:33,710 right click, and choose Classify. 48 00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:42,590 The models are not 49 00:01:42,590 --> 00:01:44,250 part of Cinelerra. 50 00:01:44,250 --> 00:01:45,410 The first time, 51 00:01:45,410 --> 00:01:46,930 you see the size, 52 00:01:46,930 --> 00:01:48,050 the source and the 53 00:01:48,050 --> 00:01:49,630 licence of each one, 54 00:01:49,630 --> 00:01:50,990 and nothing is downloaded 55 00:01:50,990 --> 00:01:52,710 until you say so. 56 00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:53,470 It's two and a 57 00:01:53,470 --> 00:01:55,510 half

00:02:06,410 --> 00:02:08,730 on your own processor. 62 00:02:08,730 --> 00:02:10,830 Here it took between four and 63 00:02:10,830 --> 00:02:12,930 five seconds for each scene. 64 00:02:15,730 --> 00:02:17,330 Then the bins fill 65 00:02:17,330 --> 00:02:18,870 up by themselves: 66 00:02:18,870 --> 00:02:21,430 people, interior, exterior, 67 00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:23,510 and the shot size. 68

--> 00:02:38,370 It does make mistakes. 76 00:02:44,730 --> 00:02:45,990 Here it calls this 77 00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:47,790 robot an animal. 78 00:02:47,790 --> 00:02:49,110 One click on the card, 79 00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:50,530 and that's fixed. 80 00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:00,080 Now you can search. 81 00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:02,680 Type rifle, and the scenes 82 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,500 with a rifle stay. 83 00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:05,860 This compares the words 84 00:03:05,860 --> 00:03:07,240 in the fields. 85 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,980 It doesn't understand whole sentences 86 00:03:09,980 --> 00:03:11,740 the way IntelliSearch does, 87 00:03:11,740 --> 00:03:12,620 not yet. 88 00:03:13,530 --> 00:03:14,870 And here is what 89 00:03:14,870 --> 00:03:16,250 this is all for.

want. 94 00:03:23,230 --> 00:03:24,810 Claude Code reads the 95 00:03:24,810 --> 00:03:26,370 catalog and picks scenes 96 00:03:26,370 --> 00:03:27,750 by their descriptions. 97 00:03:31,430 --> 00:03:32,710 Then it cuts them 98 00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:33,810 onto the track. 99 00:03:34,110 --> 00:03:35,890 This is a real run, 100 00:03:35,890 --> 00:03:37,490 not a re-enactment. 101 00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:47,930 It took fifty-three seconds, 102 00:03:47,930 --> 00:03:49,030 made ten cuts, 103 00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:50,970 and says plainly that it 104 00:03:50,970 --> 00:03:52,670 never looked at the pictures. 105 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,500 Here is the result. 106 00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:56,500 It chose the shots 107 00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:58,120 from the descriptions alone, 108 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,280 so check them with 109 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,400 your own eyes. 110 00:04:07,170 --> 00:04:09,490 This is an early version. 111 00:04:09,490 --> 00:04:11,050 It finds hard cuts, 112 00:04:11,050 --> 00:04:12,930 not fades or dissolves, 113 00:04:12,930 --> 00:04:13,910 and the descriptions are 114 00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:15,530 in English only. 115
