# 9Pic Motion

> Search-based video clipping that finds each participant's moments in event footage.

<Warning>
  9Pic Motion is a **Beta**, **Pro plan** feature (available on Pro and Enterprise) and carries a **Beta** badge in the event product nav. Turning on video search for an event is done by the 9Pic team, so email [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai) to enable it.
</Warning>

## Overview

9Pic Motion finds and clips each participant's moments out of long event footage using AI, so participants can search for their own video clips much like they search for photos. Motion has two tabs: **Overview** and **Configuration**.

Open it from an event's product navigation: **9pic Motion**.

## Overview Tab

At the top is the **Video Search** master toggle. It shows whether video search is active for this event.

<Note>
  Only 9Pic staff can flip the master **Video Search** toggle on. As an organiser you'll see an **Enabled** or **Disabled** badge — contact [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai) to have it enabled.
</Note>

Below it, the **Search Types** card lists the ways participants can find clips:

| Search type       | Status                                       |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Selfie Search** | Available — find clips by facial recognition |
| **Bib Search**    | Coming soon                                  |
| **Timing Search** | Coming soon                                  |

## Configuration Tab

Once video search is enabled, the **Configuration** tab exposes:

* **Video Sources** — the input video links Motion processes.
* **Selfie Search Configuration** — frame-extraction and clip parameters, saved with a **Save** button when changed:

| Setting                      | What it controls                                                 |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **FPS**                      | Frames per second sampled from the video for matching            |
| **Quality**                  | Frame extraction quality (lower is higher quality)               |
| **Max Clip Duration (s)**    | Longest a single generated clip can be                           |
| **Min Segment (s)**          | Shortest matched segment to keep                                 |
| **Max Gap (s)**              | Largest gap between matches before splitting into separate clips |
| **Padding Start / End (s)**  | Seconds added before and after a match                           |
| **Confidence Threshold (%)** | Minimum match confidence to include a moment                     |

Bib and Timing search configuration are shown as **Coming Soon** placeholders.

## Common Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why can't I turn on Video Search myself?">
    The master toggle is staff-only during Beta. Email [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai) and the 9Pic team will enable video search for your event.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How is Motion different from Flow?">
    [9Pic Flow](/dashboard-guide/flow/overview) auto-builds highlight reels from your media. Motion lets participants *search* long footage for their own clips (selfie search today, bib and timing search coming soon).
