Yes, agreed.

I film a bunch of skateboarding, and it can take tens of tries to land a trick. Similarly, there's usually an unique sound that signals a trick was finally landed.

Good multi-modal search and discovery is a huge part of cracking the editing problem.

Looks like https://kino.ai addresses that derushing stage, but as a specialized tool rather than as a function inside a video editor - which makes a lot of sense to me.
Tens? It sometimes takes my crew hundreds of tries (all on DV tapes).

How far have you been able to come with search for trick variations? It would be interesting to see a system that can reliably recognize what’s switch, nollie vs fakie etc. Then have it generate a list of all tricks for each skater and perhaps outstanding fails. Just some thoughts.

Detect the cheer everyone makes when the trick lands. Lots of proxy indicators to key off of.
