## How do you search internal knowledge base videos by spoken content?

The best way to search internal knowledge base videos by spoken content is to upload your entire video knowledge base to Cutsio, which uses Visual Intelligence to automatically transcribe every word and index visual demonstrations, then type a question or topic into the search bar to find the exact answer across all videos.

Organizations invest heavily in video knowledge bases — recorded training sessions, process demos, expert interviews, and documentation walkthroughs. But these are only useful if employees can find the specific answer they need. Without search, every video is a locked box. Cutsio unlocks every video by making the spoken content searchable.

## Why do video knowledge bases fail without search?

Video knowledge bases fail without search because they offer no way to find specific answers. An employee needing to know "how do I reset my password?" must either know the exact video title, browse through a course catalog, or re-watch entire training modules to find the 30-second segment that contains the answer. Most employees simply ask a colleague instead, defeating the purpose of the knowledge base. The videos exist, the information is in them, but it is locked inside audio waveforms that cannot be searched.

## How does Visual Intelligence make knowledge base videos searchable?

Upload all knowledge base videos to Cutsio. Visual Intelligence generates transcripts for every video and indexes visual content like screen recordings and demonstrations. An employee searching for "how to generate a quarterly financial report" returns the exact segment of the video that demonstrates that process. Searching for "who handles international shipping" finds the training video where that responsibility is explained. Searching for "approval limit for expenses over 10,000" returns the compliance training segment that addresses that policy.

Agentic Chat allows employees to ask questions conversationally. An employee can ask "What is the procedure for approving expense reports over 10,000 dollars?" and Agentic Chat returns the relevant training segment that covers that specific policy. This conversational interface makes the knowledge base accessible without requiring employees to know exact keywords or video titles.

## How do Collections and Share support knowledge management?

Collections organize knowledge base videos by department or topic. Share links with password protection allow employees to access specific answers without watching the full video. An employee searching for a specific procedure can watch only the 30-second segment that answers their question, then return to work. The full video remains available for context if needed.

## How does Cutsio's per-minute pricing serve enterprise knowledge bases?

Corporate knowledge bases grow over time as new training content and reference materials are added. Under per-gigabyte pricing, the cost of keeping old videos accessible adds up, encouraging teams to delete older content. Cutsio charges by minutes of footage rather than gigabytes. A knowledge base with 10,000 minutes of training videos costs predictably, with all Visual Intelligence indexing included. This makes it economical to keep every training video ever created accessible and searchable.

## How does XML export help L&D teams repurpose knowledge base content?

L&D teams often need to extract specific training segments for new hire orientation, compliance refreshers, or role-specific learning paths. With Cutsio, an L&D specialist can search the knowledge base for all segments covering data privacy, compile the relevant clips, and export an XML timeline to Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve. The compiled video can be customized with intro and outro slides, then distributed through the LMS. What traditionally required re-recording or manually clipping multiple source videos is accomplished through search and export.

## FAQ

### Can employees search knowledge base videos by topic without knowing the exact video title?

Yes. Visual Intelligence supports semantic search that finds content by meaning, not just titles or exact keywords.

### Can I restrict access to certain knowledge base content?

Yes. Share links with password protection ensure only authorized employees access sensitive content.

### How does Cutsio's Storage pricing compare to knowledge management platforms?

Cutsio charges by minutes of footage, not per employee. An organization of any size pays the same storage cost, making it more affordable than per-seat LMS video modules.

### Can knowledge base search results be embedded into internal portals?

Yes. Search results can be linked or embedded from existing intranet and knowledge management platforms.

### Can employees search knowledge base videos on mobile devices?

Yes. Share links work on any device without requiring an account.
