Having built something similar with CLIP on an M1, frame sampling rate is the whole ballgame. One frame a second on 12k videos is days, keyframes only got me to an overnight run.

  Maybe you need a minimal downscale version as well, I heard is very common technique in the video editing world.
  Based on my experience, sampling rate can be tricky if what you are looking for lasted less than interval period.

    Proxies. You transcode proxies from the original media, edit off those, then you use OM for the final render. NLE’s usually let you flip between them.

    And in this case, you'd still end up with the same number of frames to process, right? They'd just be smaller frames with less fidelity.

    Yes they are generally a fraction of the bitrate. As low as 1/4th or 1/5th typically IME. But it varies.
