Docsie Video Analysis
The AI video analyzer that watches the footage.
Ask what you're looking for and Docsie analyzes the video, frames and audio together. Every finding comes back with its timestamp, the frame and the exact on-screen text.
Up to 40 minutes per video. Upload a file or paste a link. Runs in Docsie's cloud or on your own servers.

Every animal, with the camera's own clock
A real result: 25 sightings by species in an 11:49 trail-camera video, each with the date and time read off the image.
How it works
How to analyze a video with AI.
Docsie checks frames across the whole video, together with what is said, so the answer covers what happened on screen and not just the transcript.
Say what to look for
Ask your own question, or start from a preset: find, count, read, measure.
Check every finding
Jump to each moment, confirm it on the frame, and export the report.
A closer look
AI video analysis you can check, frame by frame.
Real results from Docsie's test environment. Every finding sits next to the video: click a time to play that moment, open the frame, then export the result as CSV, PDF or DOCX.
Every error, quoted exactly
Asked for every error, warning or failure in a 6:57 screen recording. The dialog is quoted down to the code, "Error 0x80070643", every time it comes back (0:00:00, 0:00:39, 0:03:15), with what the narrator says about it.
Every message in a screen recording, with who sent it
All 21 chat messages, in order and word for word, laid out as the conversation, each linked to the moment it's on screen.
See the whole conversation
Count, and tell them apart
Goldfinch visits to a feeder: 4 juvenile and 6 adult, each with its time and frame.
Every hazard, and what makes it one
A dim stairway, ice in a car park, a leaking pipe, a forklift blocking a passage, plus the narrator's safety lines.
Then ask what you need to know
"What did Priya say about the BLT-118 belt order, and when will it arrive?" The assistant quotes her message, "Ordered. PO 55-8812, arriving Thursday.", and lists its sources.
Product captures from Docsie's test environment, October 2026. Footage: CC BY videos by Forest Moments, Virtuous Tech, Garden Birds Galore and the Finnish Workers' Compensation Center, and a screen recording generated for testing. No customer footage.

Every finding cites a frame
A timestamp and the frame it came from, so a person confirms each one before it goes in a report.
Exact text, never paraphrased
Messages, codes, labels and readouts are copied as shown. Anything unreadable is flagged, not guessed.

Common questions
Can ChatGPT analyze video?
General chat assistants mostly work from a transcript or a handful of sampled frames. Docsie Video Analysis is built for footage review: it checks frames across the whole video, returns a timestamp for each finding and copies on-screen text exactly.
Is there an AI that can watch a video and answer questions?
Yes. Upload the video or paste a link, then ask in plain language. The AI watches the frames and listens to the audio, and every answer points to the moments it came from, so you can check it.
How is this different from Gemini or ChatGPT video analysis?
Docsie returns findings for the whole video, each with a timestamp and a frame, keeps on-screen text verbatim, exports a report, and can run on your own servers.
Is it video analysis software or an app?
It's web-based video analysis software. Use it in the browser, or deploy it on your own infrastructure.
Is this a transcription tool?
It can transcribe, but most questions are about what you can see: who appears, what is on screen, when something changes. Speech is used alongside the frames.
How long can a video be?
Up to 40 minutes per video. Longer recordings are split, and the findings are merged onto one timeline.
Can it identify people?
No. It describes what is visible, such as clothing, vehicles and actions. It does not do face recognition or match people to identities.
Can it read the date and time a camera burns in?
Yes, when the overlay is legible. Each finding then carries both the video timestamp and the camera's own clock, which helps when cameras disagree.
Where does my footage go?
Use Docsie's cloud, or deploy Docsie on your own infrastructure so footage stays inside your network.
What should I confirm before relying on a result?
Open the frame behind each finding and check that it shows what the finding says. AI can miss moments or misread low-resolution text; unreadable text is flagged rather than guessed, and a person confirms the findings.
