# Enable and view a clapperboard with extracted metadata (preview)
12+
13+
The clapperboard insight is used to detect clapper board instances and information written on each. For example, *head* or *tail* (the board is upside-down), *production*, *roll*, *scene*, *take*, etc. A [clapperboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clapperboard)'s extracted metadata is most useful to customers involved in the movie post-production process.
14+
15+
When the movie is being edited, the slate is removed from the scene but a metadata with what's on the clapper board is important. Azure Video Indexer extracts the data from clapperboards, preserves and presents the metadata as described in this article.
16+
17+
This insight is most useful to customers involved in the movie post-production process.

### View post-production insights
22+
23+
In order to set the indexing process to include the slate metadata, select the **Video + audio indexing** -> **Advanced** presets.
24+
25+
> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
26+
> :::image type="content" source="./media/slate-detection-process/advanced-setting.png" alt-text="This image shows the advanced setting in order to view post-production clapperboards insights.":::
27+
28+
After the file has been uploaded and indexed, if you want to view the timeline of the insight, select the **Post-production** checkmark from the list of insights.
29+
30+
> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
31+
> :::image type="content" source="./media/slate-detection-process/post-production-checkmark.png" alt-text="This image shows the post-production checkmark needed to view clapperboards.":::
32+
33+
### Clapperboards
34+
35+
Clapperboards contain titles, like: *production*, *roll*, *scene*, *take* and values associated with each title.
36+
37+
The titles and their values' quality may not always be recognizable. For more information, see [limitations](#clapperboard-limitations).
38+
39+
For example, take this clapperboard:
40+
41+
> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
42+
> :::image type="content" source="./media/slate-detection-process/clapperboard.png" alt-text="This image shows a clapperboard.":::
43+
44+
In the following example the board contains the following fields:
45+
46+
|title|content|
47+
|---|---|
48+
|camera|COD|
49+
|date|FILTER (in this case the board contains no date)|
50+
|director|John|
51+
|production|Prod name|
52+
|scene|FPS|
53+
|take|99|
54+
55+
#### View the insight
56+
57+
To see the instances on the website, select **Insights** and scroll to **Clapperboards**. You can hover over each clapperboard, or unfold **Show/Hide clapperboard info** and see the metadata:
58+
59+
> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
60+
> :::image type="content" source="./media/slate-detection-process/clapperboard-metadata.png" alt-text="This image shows the clapperboard metadata.":::
61+
62+
#### View the timeline
63+
64+
If you checked the **Post-production** insight, You can also find the clapperboard instance and its timeline (includes time, fields' values) on the **Timeline** tab.
65+
66+
#### Vew JSON
67+
68+
To display the JSON file:
69+
70+
1. Select Download and then Insights (JSON).
71+
1. Copy the `clapperboard` element, under `insights`, and paste it into your Online JSON Viewer.
72+
73+
> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
74+
> :::image type="content" source="./media/slate-detection-process/clapperboard-json.png" alt-text="This image shows the clapperboard metadata in json.":::
75+
76+
The following table describes fields found in json:
77+
78+
|Name|Description|
79+
|---|---|
80+
|`id`|The clapperboard ID.|
81+
|`thumbnailId`|The ID of the thumbnail.|
82+
|`isHeadSlate`|The value stands for head or tail (the board is upside-down) of the clapper board: `true` or `false`.|
83+
|`fields`|The fields found in the clapper board; also each field's name and value.|
84+
|`instances`|A list of time ranges where this element appeared.|
85+
86+
## Clapperboard limitations
87+
88+
- The titles of the fields appearing on the clapper board are optimized to identify the most popular fields appearing on top of clapper boards.
89+
- Handwritten text or digital digits may not be correctly identified by the fields detection algorithm.
90+
- The algorithm is optimized to identify fields categories that appear horizontally.
91+
- The clapper board may not be detected if the frame is blurred or that the text written on it can't be identified by the human eye.
92+
- Empty fields’ values may lead to to wrong fields categories.
93+
<!-- If a part of a clapper board is hidden a value with the highest confidence is shown. -->

- The digital patterns will be identified over the 10 min of the beginning and 10 min of the ending part of the video.
77+
<!-- - What about the limited set of digital patterns that we compare to? It's not any digital pattern -->
