Workflow fit

Built for teams that need evidence, not just summaries.

VidScanner UX Sessions is designed for UX researchers, designers, PMs, and product teams. Instead of treating video as a file to watch from start to finish, the app indexes the recording, identifies important moments, and turns the source footage into a structured deliverable that can be searched and reviewed.

The workflow starts with a recorded usability test session. The strongest results come from recordings where the camera lingers on important evidence and the speaker narrates key context. VidScanner keeps the generated output tied to the source video so reviewers can verify what was seen or said before they export it.

What to upload

A recorded usability test session.

  • Moderated user-test recording (Zoom, Maze, or similar)
