The launch of Pegasus 1.5 represents a significant breakthrough in video foundation models by introducing Time-Based Metadata Extraction. This feature allows the model to discover temporal boundaries and extract structured metadata according to customer-defined schemas with a single API call. By interpreting video with a level of contextual understanding similar to a human editor, Pegasus 1.5 can identify specific brand appearances or key thematic moments without manual tagging. This capability is already in production with major broadcast networks, turning massive archives into instantly searchable assets.
TwelveLabs has introduced Rodeo, its first application-layer product designed specifically for the creator economy. Rodeo functions as an AI-powered co-pilot that enables users to find, edit, and assemble footage using natural language commands. By removing labor-intensive technical constraints, the tool allows creators to move from raw footage to finished stories in minutes. The platform introduces AI agents directly into the workflow to surface relevant clips and suggest edits, empowering creative teams to focus on storytelling rather than manual file management.
TwelveLabs is also extending its intelligence capabilities into industry-standard tools through a partnership with Autodesk. By powering Smart Search and Smart Actions within Autodesk Flow Capture, TwelveLabs allows production teams to search video libraries using natural language. Automated workflows now tag, organize, and route media the moment it is uploaded, eliminating manual effort and streamlining collaboration between production and post-production teams. This integration ensures that creative professionals can jump to exact moments in their footage instantly, maintaining focus on the creative process.
"With Pegasus 1.5, Rodeo, and our integrations with industry leaders, we're transitioning from understanding video to operationalizing it at scale," said Jae Lee, CEO and co-founder of TwelveLabs. "This will transform how we use and experience what has become the most prolific medium on the planet."
"Creative teams shouldn't have to hunt for their footage," said Hugh Calveley, Sr. Director of Product Management at Autodesk. "With TwelveLabs powering Flow Capture's Smart Search and Smart Actions, teams can search video the way they think and stay focused on what matters most: the story."
TwelveLabs is the world's most powerful video intelligence platform, enabling machines to see, hear, and reason about video like humans do. From semantic search to automated summaries and multimodal embeddings, TwelveLabs empowers developers, enterprises, and creatives to unlock the full potential of video data across industries including media, advertising, government, security, and automotive.
