AI Scene Analysis

AI Scene Analysis unlocks deep scene-level metadata including mood, setting, characters, and objects, enabling streaming platforms to improve ad playback with contextual data, automate ad scheduling, generate highlights, enhance search and recommendations, and more. By reducing manual effort and streamlining workflows, it helps development teams deliver more relevant content, create seamless ad experiences, and enhance content discovery, ultimately driving engagement and increasing monetization.

What is AI Scene Analysis

AI Scene Analysis empowers streaming platforms to streamline operations, enhance viewer engagement, and drive revenue growth through automated scene-level metadata extraction. By analyzing elements such as mood, setting, characters, and objects, it enables precise ad targeting, improves content discovery, and simplifies workflows. Automating these processes minimizes manual effort, allowing teams to focus on content strategy and audience experience rather than metadata management. Integrated within Bitmovin’s solution suite, AI Scene Analysis supports scalable growth, enhances monetization strategies, and delivers targeted content and ads that align with viewer preferences, ultimately improving both operational efficiency and long-term platform success.

How STIRR Uses AI Scene Analysis to Improve Ad Timing, Personalize Playback, and Drive Revenue

“At STIRR, we’re not just reimagining streaming—we’re building the future where content, context, and commerce converge seamlessly. By integrating Bitmovin’s AI Scene Analysis, Data Graphs and Aniview technology, we’ve created an ecosystem where passive viewing transforms into active engagement across all screens. This isn’t incremental improvement; it’s a fundamental shift in how audiences discover, interact with, and monetize content. As we expand globally, this partnership enables us to deliver personalized experiences that address the ‘4S behaviors’—streaming, scrolling, searching, and shopping—within a single, cohesive platform. The result is not just higher CPMs and engagement metrics, but an entirely new paradigm for what streaming can be.”
