Fall 2025 Enhancements (October 16, v17)

AI Video Analysis

DBGallery now provides advanced AI-powered video analysis, enabling you to maximize the value of your video assets. This increases asset discoverability and reduces manual data entry.

• Transcription

  Generate transcriptions of spoken content in videos, making them fully searchable and improving accessibility. This video transcription software for DAM provides direct value for teams managing large volumes of media files.

  The screenshot below displays the actual transcription text from the video, along with the AI-generated summary and identified objects.

  

• Transcription Timeline

  A game-changer: The video transcription timeline feature provides a dynamic, interactive way to explore your videos. Each spoken sentence is time-stamped and aligned with the video, allowing you to jump instantly to the exact moment you need. This transforms how teams review, repurpose, and extract insights from video content—delivering a huge productivity boost and a true “wow” factor for digital asset management.

  
• AI-Generated Summaries

  Receive AI video summarization automatically for each analyzed video, giving you an instant overview without needing to watch the entire file.

• Object Recognition

  AI object recognition in video assets ensures that appearing objects are automatically identified and tagged, making categorization and discovery even easier within your DAM library.

Important Notes

• AI Video Analysis may not yet be available in your DBGallery instance. Look for Video Analysis radio button at the bottom of Tools | Preferences. If it is not shown there, contact either your system administrator or support@dbgallery.com to request it be made available.
• Time to process: It can take 2 minutes or greater per video to process, depending on the video size.
• Maximum Size: The maximum video file size is 2GB.
• How many at once: Up to 200 videos at a time has been tested.  We recommend starting with 1 to 10 at a time when starting to use this new feature, moving to more once successful.
• Cost: This feature is offered at no additional cost until at least March 2026. Beyond this date, usage-based pricing may apply.
• Some videos may be rejected as harmful by the AI. This is a restriction of the Microsoft Azure AI Video Indexer service used by DBGallery. This will often happen with photos of injured animals, for example. The AI Description data field will show a message when this occurs.
• EXPERIMENTAL: This is the 1st release of this large feature and we are considering it experimental. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Please send feedback to support@dbgallery.com.

Bulk Operation Notifications

Notifications for bulk operations such as large downloads have been enhanced. Instead of temporary messages, notifications now remain visible until dismissed, ensuring you stay informed about the status of your tasks—even when you switch to other work.

Web Image Search

Expand your collections directly from within DBGallery. With Web Image Search, you can locate images online and import them into your library. This feature is available upon request—please contact support@dbgallery.com for details.

Video Playback

Videos now start with sound enabled by default, making it more convenient for viewers and improving media library management workflows.

Additional Improvements & Fixes

• EPS Proportions: EPS files now display with accurate proportions when shared.
• Share Expiry Dates: Resolved an issue where an expiry date could mistakenly be applied when configuring a new share.
