Video

We’ll be using vuse-generic-v1 to build a collection of 1 second interval video chunks into a 768 dimension embedding collection.

You’ll need to create a TimescaleDB database with the vector extension installed. We’ll create a hypertable called video_embeddings with a vector column of 768 dimensions and a time column for efficient time-series operations.

# Initialize the Mixpeek client with your API key
mixpeek = Mixpeek("YOUR_API_KEY")

# Connect to TimescaleDB
conn = psycopg2.connect("YOUR_TIMESCALEDB_CONNECTION_STRING")
cur = conn.cursor()

# Create table and hypertable if not exists
cur.execute("""
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS video_embeddings (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    embedding vector(768),
    start_time TIMESTAMPTZ,
    end_time TIMESTAMPTZ

""")
cur.execute("SELECT create_hypertable('video_embeddings', 'start_time', if_not_exists => TRUE);")

# Process video chunks
processed_chunks = mixpeek.tools.video.process(
    video_source="https://mixpeek-public-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/starter/Jurassic+Park+(2).mp4",

    resolution=[720, 1280]

    print(f"Processing video chunk: {chunk['start_time']}")

    # embed each chunk
    embed_response = mixpeek.embed.video(
        model_id="vuse-generic-v1",
        input=chunk['base64_chunk'],
        input_type="base64"
    )

    embeddings_data.append((
        embed_response['embedding'],

Text Query

Video Query

# we'll use a cartoon version of jurassic park

Image

We’ll be using openai-clip-vit-base-patch32 to build a collection of image embeddings with 512 dimensions.

You’ll need to create a TimescaleDB hypertable with a vector column of 512 dimensions for openai-clip-vit-base-patch32 model embeddings. We’re calling it image_embeddings.
