# Job Processing

Monitor the jobs Kino runs after you upload or import media: transcription, visual analysis, logging, and proxy generation.

## Job types

Jobs run in parallel when possible. Each one adds a different kind of metadata to your footage.

| Job                     | What it does                                                              | Output                                    |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Transcribing**        | Converts spoken dialogue into searchable text with speaker identification | Time-coded transcript with speaker labels |
| **Scanning visuals**    | Identifies objects, scenes, and visual elements                           | Time-coded visual index                   |
| **Detecting faces**     | Finds and tracks the people in your footage                               | People you can filter and search by       |
| **Generating chapters** | Writes clip-level summaries for logging                                   | Descriptions and chapters per clip        |

Together these jobs build the index that powers search, chat, and agents working with your library. Proxies for remote playback are generated separately in your browser during upload.

## Troubleshooting

### Common issues

| Issue                      | Possible cause                              | Solution                                                                  |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Jobs stuck at "Processing" | Unsupported file or interrupted upload      | Check [supported formats](/docs/faq/faq-what-formats), then re-upload the file |
| Failed transcription       | Poor audio quality or no speech in the file | Check that the file has an audio track with dialogue                      |
| Missing visual analysis    | Very dark or blurry footage                 | The visual index is best-effort on degraded footage                       |
