# Apply video AI analysis

You can apply [video AI analysis](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/video-ai-analysis.html "Video AI analysis") to a video asset at any lifecycle stage.

To apply video AI analysis:

1. On the menu bar, click **Assets**.
2. On the **Assets** page, select the video asset you want.
3. On the asset details page, in the **Overview** section, click **Edit** :mdiPencilOutline:.
4. Next to the **Type** field, click **Add** :mdiPlus:.
5. In the **Type** dialog, select the *Video AI* option.
6. Click **Save**.
7. On the asset details page, on the **Overview** pane, click **Save**.

    The *VideoAI* media processing flow starts and the video asset is sent to the Microsoft Azure Video Indexer for analysis. When the analysis finishes, the Microsoft Azure Video Indexer adds descriptive tags to the *Video analysis* section of the asset details page.
