Embedding every frame at a fixed rate is inefficient because consecutive frames in a video are often near-duplicate vectors. By implementing scene cut detection, you can index a single representative key frame per shot. This approach reduces the index size and latency by a factor determined by the average shot length, rather than relying on an arbitrary hyperparameter search.
