It’s Tricky: Storyboards and Trick Play
Storyboards are a collection of thumbnails from regular time intervals throughout a video, combined into a single image in a grid layout. They can be used for content review and trick play features in video players. Mux API provides storyboards with the same ease as obtaining other thumbnails via their image API. The use cases include content moderation, where storyboards help quickly review videos without having to open them completely, and trick play, which shows a thumbnail preview of the video around the seek bar.
