I could see that there are some users who would want an ongoing subscription, such as a security office who looked through security videos on a regular basis to investigate thefts. But I have to think that in a lot of cases there will be people who just want to search through a video or two on a one-time basis - why not a per-video, non-subscription pricing option?

Interesting point, any idea at what level you would price this?

I cant speak to the economics on your side, but from a consumer point of view, the main issue I'm having is: how do I know this thing will even work? I don't want to shell out $10 and wait for processing time only to find out it doesn't even work

Maybe one way is to let users upload it for free, interactively search the first 10s for free, and then require payment to look through the rest of the video. If I felt confident that it was going to work, and I had a real reason to search through the video, I would probably pay between $1 and $5, depending on the length of the video. Much more than that and I'd rather just scrub through it myself. I guess the length of the video is roughly proportional to how much I'm willing to pay to not have to scrub through it myself.

The other thing is that it's much easier to scrub through and find an image, rather than voice. If I want to find a bike, I can just scrub through at 10x and look for bikes, a bike isn't going to just appear in a single frame and disappear in the blink of an eye. If it also searched voice, it would be worth even more.
