Question

Design a video search / scene-indexing system that lets users search WITHIN videos by natural-language description of what happens ('the part where someone opens a red door', 'goal celebration') across a corpus of 500M videos. You need to detect shots/scenes, generate searchable representations of visual + audio + spoken content, and return ranked timestamps (deep links into the video) at query time with sub-second latency, all while keeping (re)indexing cost sane.
