💡Scale semantic video search with Nova embeddings—no manual tags needed for huge datasets!

⚡ 30-Second TL;DR

What Changed

Amazon Nova models generate multimodal embeddings for videos

Why It Matters

Media companies can now semantically search vast video libraries, speeding up content discovery and reducing annotation costs. This scales AI for entertainment workloads, enhancing user experiences with precise video retrieval.

What To Do Next

Follow the AWS blog tutorial to deploy Nova-powered video search on your S3 data lake.

🔑 Enhanced Key Takeaways

  • Amazon Nova Multimodal Embeddings model unifies text, documents, images, video, and audio into a single embedding space for agentic RAG and semantic search[4].
  • Nova 2 Omni processes text, images, video, and speech inputs while natively generating text and images, supporting tasks like video analysis and natural language image editing[2][4].
  • Video inputs to Nova models are resized to 672x672 pixels with dynamic sampling: 1 FPS up to 16 minutes (960 frames max for Lite/Pro) or 3,200 frames for Premier, via base64 (25 MB) or S3 URI (1 GB)[1].

🛠️ Technical Deep Dive

  • Amazon Nova video understanding supports multi-aspect ratio resizing to 672x672 square dimensions before model input[1].
  • Dynamic frame sampling: 1 FPS for videos ≤16 minutes (Lite/Pro), reducing rate for longer videos to cap at 960 frames; Premier caps at 3,200 frames[1].
  • Input methods: base64 (payload ≤25 MB) or S3 URI (≤1 GB), with no difference in token count[1].
  • Nova 2 Omni enables cross-modal reasoning, temporal understanding in videos, and combines video with speech for improved performance[3].
  • Nova Multimodal Embeddings powers semantic search across modalities in a unified vector space[4].

🔮 Future ImplicationsAI analysis grounded in cited sources

Nova Multimodal Embeddings will replace multiple specialized models with one unified solution for enterprise search
It maps diverse content types into a single space with leading accuracy, breaking data silos as used by Siemens for enterprise applications[4].
Nova 2 Omni will enable single-model workflows for complex creative tasks like video analysis and image generation
As the first model to process text, images, video, speech and generate text/images, it consolidates multi-model pipelines for marketing and support[2][4].
