Cloud-native video editing company Blackbird has added artificial intelligence to its platform after forming a partnership with Twelve Labs.
Twelve Labs’ AI will enable editors to locate specific storytelling moments within their video content using natural language, said the companies.
Blackbird has integrated a plugin into its editing platform, which gives users access to Twelve Labs’ indexing technology and AI auto-sequencing productivity tool without needing to leave the platform.
“We envision a future where editors supercharge their workflows. Instead of a blank canvas, they can start with a rough cut and refine it from there, saving countless hours of scrubbing and stitching,” said Jae Lee, co-founder and CEO of Twelve Labs.
“Blackbird has always prided itself on its speed and efficiency and the advent of AI technologies is key to improving that further.,” added Ian McDonough, Blackbird CEO.
“The landscape is changing fast when it comes to storytelling, and where AI can really make a difference is in making the process faster and more enjoyable. Twelve Labs’ technology addresses this well through its fast developing natural language recognition model.”
