Process video

Anyone know if a video can be processed and how it can be processed in alteryx, in such a way that it can extract a data and the moment in the video in which it appears.

Because Alteryx can connect to external APIs, you could pass video to an API to be processed as you describe and the resulting data to be used in an Alteryx workflow. However, video processing is not native functionality within the software with out of the box tools.

With standard with functionality built into Designer itself, I do not believe this is possible. 

 

You may be able to use the Run Command tool or R/Python to extract the image at the specific time, and then use R/Python/the new PDF tools to extract the data from the image.

 

Hopefully that helps get you started!
