The vision engine is TalkCut’s media analysis system. When you upload an image or video, the vision engine examines it and extracts detailed information about style, composition, color, camera work, and more. This analysis feeds into the AI agent’s understanding of your creative intent.

Why it matters

Traditional AI generation relies entirely on text prompts. You have to describe every detail in words — color palette, lighting style, camera angle, mood. This is slow and imprecise, especially for visual creators who think in images. The vision engine lets you show instead of tell. Upload a reference image with the style you want, and the analysis gives the AI agent the context it needs to generate matching content.

Image analysis

When the vision engine analyzes an image, it extracts:
  • Style — Artistic style, rendering technique, visual approach
  • Composition — Layout, focal points, balance, visual hierarchy
  • Color palette — Dominant colors, color temperature, contrast levels
  • Camera language — Angle, distance, depth of field, perspective
  • Mood and atmosphere — Emotional tone, lighting quality, environmental context
You can trigger image analysis by asking the AI agent: “Analyze this image” or “What’s the style of this photo?”

Video analysis

For videos, the vision engine adds motion-specific analysis:
  • Motion patterns — Camera movement, subject movement, speed
  • Pacing — Cut frequency, rhythm, temporal flow
  • Lighting transitions — How lighting changes across the video
  • Narrative structure — Scene progression, visual storytelling elements

Using analysis in your workflow

Analysis results help in two ways:
  1. Inform generation — The AI agent uses analysis data to generate content that matches your references. When you say “Generate an image in this style”, the agent knows exactly what “this style” means because the vision engine has already broken it down.
  2. Creative feedback — Review the analysis to understand what makes a reference image or video work. The breakdown of composition, color, and camera choices can guide your creative decisions.
Upload your brand’s existing content early in a project. The vision engine’s analysis, combined with workspace memory, helps maintain visual consistency across all AI-generated content.

Credits

Image and video analysis costs 10 credits per analysis. This is one of the least expensive operations in TalkCut.
