By adding metadata, we can search for “raid” and get a pointer to this video.
But in a video this is not enough. What is depicted within video changes throughout time. The first minute might contain the actual raid on a shop, the next 5 mins might contain shots from the investigation and so on. So we need to timebox the descriptions, which we call time-coded metadata.
