Navigate videos using AI-generated chapter markers
After processing completes, host.video generates an outline of chapter markers for each video. Chapters let viewers jump directly to specific sections without scrubbing through the timeline.
From the Videos page, click any video to open its detail page. If chapter markers were detected, a Chapters section appears below the tags.
Each chapter shows a title and a start timestamp. Click any chapter to seek the player to that point in the video.
Chapters are created automatically by the intelligence pipeline. The system analyzes the video content and identifies natural topic boundaries, then assigns a descriptive title to each section.
The raw chapter data is available as a JSON file. In the Files panel on the right side of the page, look for the Outline entry. Click the URL to copy it.
The outline file contains a timeline array where each entry has a start time, end time, and title. This data can be used with custom players or integrated into external applications.
