If u see any of these, please DM them to me. We @NBC_VC are currently looking into these and debunking them one by one #OSINT

#OSINT tool:
This is a short thread on how to use Microsoft's Video Indexer (VI) to easily extract valuable insights from videos. Analysing open source information, especially hours of video footage is time-consuming so tools like VI can come in pretty handy 1/6
For this exercise, I use a 1h51m long video from a far-right rally in London (Sat 14 Jul), which I downloaded from YouTube & then uploaded onto the VI platform. Uploading time was around 6-8 min, whereas indexing took 44 min (trial account). 2/5
