Introduction
Scenes allow you to divide your video into smaller segments for in-depth analysis. This tool helps you identify which parts of your video connect most with your audience, which scenes have the most impact, and which moments elicit the strongest reactions.
By breaking your video into smaller sections, you can effectively analyze Reaction metrics by using each scene as a filter. This segmentation allows you to pinpoint specific moments in your video that resonate most with your audience, giving you valuable insights into viewer engagement and emotional responses. By examining the data from each scene individually, you can identify trends, patterns, and key highlights that contribute to the overall impact of your video. This detailed analysis helps you make informed decisions on content creation, editing, and optimization to enhance the viewer experience and maximize viewer engagement.
Scene Timing
Scenes are like Chapters of a book: they start when another ends. When a video is uploaded to Lumiere, a default scene starting at 0:00 (the start of your video) will automatically be created. This beginning scene, called “Scene 1”, will run until the start time of the next scene you create for your video.
Note: The default scene created at the beginning of your video by cannot be deleted
The timestamp above a scene card indicates the start time of that scene and the end time of the previous scene. In the image above, Scene 1 starts at 0:00 and ends when Scene 2 begins at 0:33.
