When NOT to use VideoRAG
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- You are working with short clips (under one minute) where traditional search methods might be quicker or more straightforward.
- If your needs are strictly for audio transcription or text-based retrieval, VideoRAG's features may offer more complexity than necessary.
- Your video content has strict privacy concerns, as using desktop applications can sometimes pose security and confidentiality risks depending on the user’s context.
