Pegasus 1.5 by TwelveLabs

AI model for transforming video into Time-Based Metadata

Overview

What it is

AI that truly understands video. Uses multimodal models (Marengo/Pegasus) to search, analyze & generate text from video content at scale.

Intent

I need it when

Generate highlights, clips, and edited content from raw footage automatically

Pegasus 1.5 understands narrative structure and pacing to automatically segment content, identify natural breaks, and assemble rough cuts from hundreds of hours of footage. Users describe desired output and the system exports directly into editing workflows.

Index and make searchable multimodal video data (vision, audio, text) through a single unified pipeline

Pegasus 1.5 ingests video, audio, and image data at ~60x real-time speed, indexing one hour of video in one minute. The unified index supports search, analysis, and embedding tasks across all modalities without separate processing pipelines.

Analyze video content to surface patterns, trends, and actionable insights for creative and editorial decisions

Pegasus 1.5 reasons continuously over full video duration to identify patterns and signals, enabling teams to understand what content performs well and make data-driven creative decisions at scale.

Search and locate specific moments in large video archives using natural language queries

Pegasus 1.5 enables semantic search across entire video libraries by understanding visual content, dialogue, emotions, and actions without manual tagging. Users describe what they need (e.g., 'all scored goals this season') and the system returns timestamped clips, reducing research time from days to seconds.

Automatically identify and extract compliance risks, sensitive content, and brand safety violations at scale

Pegasus 1.5 analyzes video content to detect policy violations and brand safety issues with explainable AI, allowing compliance teams to review findings faster and with confidence in automated decisions. This accelerates content moderation workflows by 10x.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs real-time video processing with sub-second latency; Pegasus 1.5 is optimized for batch analysis and indexing workflows, not live streaming
  • Organization requires on-premises deployment without cloud infrastructure; TwelveLabs operates as a cloud-based API platform
  • User has minimal video content (under 10 hours); free tier and pay-as-you-go pricing favor organizations with substantial video libraries
  • Project requires simple frame-by-frame analysis without temporal reasoning; Pegasus 1.5 is designed for continuous temporal understanding across full video duration
  • Budget is extremely constrained with no tolerance for per-minute indexing costs; even small video libraries incur measurable charges beyond free tier
