I like the entire premise, the one thing stopping me from trying this is not knowing the time scales that I will need to set my computer aside for the processing of large folders of video frames, or my photos library's videos, some 12,000 videos

Having built something similar with CLIP on an M1, frame sampling rate is the whole ballgame. One frame a second on 12k videos is days, keyframes only got me to an overnight run.

Have you tried scene detection? I would guess camera cuts are even less frequent than keyframes.

How do you do that? What's the architecture? Can you guide on that?

possibly off-topic, but for anyone interested in this on a more cross-platform / holistic basis, Immich does this

(& by "this" I mean an approximate AI search for photos & videos - I can't account for the "every frame", nor for the comparative search quality)

This is cool. Any way to search for People / faces / pets? Like on iOS?
