AI video analysis lets you document a room’s contents by recording a short video — MovingBox identifies every item automatically and presents them for your review. It’s the fastest way to build an inventory for a new space.
Video analysis requires a MovingBox Pro subscription.

​
How It Works

  1. Record a short video panning across a room
  2. MovingBox extracts frames from the video and sends them to AI analysis
  3. Every detected item is presented for your review
  4. Keep the items you want, skip the rest
  5. Kept items are added directly to your inventory

​
Recording a Video

1

Open the Add Item screen

Tap the + button in the app to open the item capture interface.
2

Switch to Video mode

Select the Video tab at the top of the capture screen.
3

Record your video

Pan slowly across the room, making sure each item is clearly visible for at least a moment. Aim for 10–30 seconds per room.
4

Submit for analysis

Tap Done when finished recording. MovingBox will process your video and extract item detections.

​
Reviewing Detected Items

After analysis completes, you’ll see a list of detected items with AI-generated details for each one.
  • Keep — Adds the item to your inventory
  • Skip — Dismisses the item without adding it
You can edit any item’s details before or after saving.

Tips for Best Results

Good Lighting

Record in a well-lit room. Natural light or bright overhead lighting gives the best results.

Slow and Steady

Pan slowly enough that each item is visible for at least 1–2 seconds. Avoid fast sweeps.

Full Coverage

Cover the full room — shelves, surfaces, and floors. You can record multiple clips for large spaces.

Avoid Glare

Avoid pointing directly at mirrors, windows, or reflective surfaces, which can confuse detection.

​
Importing an Existing Video

You can also import a video you’ve already recorded from your camera roll.
1

Open the Add Item screen

Tap the + button to open the capture interface.
2

Select Video mode

Switch to the Video tab.
3

Choose from library

Tap Choose from Library and select a video from your camera roll.

​
Storage & Privacy

Video files are used only for frame extraction during analysis. They are not stored on MovingBox servers. Extracted frames are processed and immediately deleted — the same privacy model as photo analysis. If you save a video to your camera roll before importing, it remains in your Photos library under your control.
