Workflow guide

How this use case fits into a repeatable video review process.

Anki cards from lectures is for teams that already have the video evidence but do not want to scrub through the entire file manually. Upload recorded class session (Zoom / Panopto / Echo360), let VidScanner process the frames and transcript, then review a structured result that points back to the exact moment in the source video.

This workflow fits inside VidScanner StudyHall, so it uses the same search index, timestamps, screenshots, and export path as the rest of the product. That matters when a report, dataset, deck, or action list needs to be checked by another person before it becomes official.

For best results, capture the recording with stable framing, clear audio when narration helps, and enough time on the important visual evidence. The output is strongest when reviewers can see the subject clearly and hear the context that explains why the moment matters.

Sample input
