Each segment includes timestamp_start and timestamp_end in seconds. These values locate the match in the source video, but they are not frame-accurate edit points.

​
Frame and scene segments

Treat frame and scene timestamps as navigation points near the relevant visual content. For playback, seek slightly before timestamp_start so the viewer has context. If your workflow requires frame-accurate boundaries, verify the match against the source video and calculate the final in and out points in your editing pipeline.

​
Transcript segments

Transcript timestamps locate a matching passage of speech. Include a small playback buffer before the start time to avoid cutting off the beginning of a sentence.

​
Using timestamps to seek video

video_url points to the source video, not a pre-trimmed clip. Append a media fragment or use your player’s seek API:
Browser support for media fragments varies by format and server behavior. Use the player API when you need consistent seeking. Pureframe AI does not return a separately trimmed media file. Create one in your own media workflow when you need a downloadable clip.
