This feature works on videos with audio that includes dialogue and provides richer contextual information to help organize and discover your video content. When you upload videos with `auto_video_details: true` or by enabling the option in your upload preset, the system automatically: * **Generates meaningful titles and descriptions** based on video content analysis * **Automatically adds relevant tags** to help categorize and search your videos * **Stores metadata as context values** that the Cloudinary Video Player 3.1.0+ can use or that you can access via the Admin API You can also instruct the Video Player to auto-generate titles and descriptions on demand by setting `title: true` and/or `description: true` in your player configuration. Note that player-based generation only creates titles and descriptions; automatic tag generation is only available through the [Upload API](image_upload_api_reference#auto_video_details) `auto_video_details` parameter. **[Learn more](video_player_customization#video_titles_and_descriptions)** ### Video Player AI auto-generation The Cloudinary Video Player can now also automatically generate transcripts and chapters (as well as titles and descriptions described above) on demand when you set them in your player configuration. This enables lazy generation, rather than generating them on upload or via the UI. > **NOTE**: You can prevent the Video Player from attempting AI generation by disabling the relevant options (enabled by default) in your product environment [security settings](https://console.cloudinary.com/app/settings/security) under **Unsigned actions allowed**. **[Learn more](video_player_customization#ai_generation)** ### Video Player download button You can now set `download: true` in your player configuration to display a download button in the video player controls. Videos (including adaptive streaming formats) download as MP4 files. Audio files download as MP3 files. A loading spinner appears while The player transcodes the content for download. **[Learn more](video_player_api_reference#player_visuals)** ## Asset and account management ### Remote MCP servers now available with OAuth authentication Cloudinary's Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are now available as remote, cloud-hosted servers with OAuth authentication support in addition to the previously published local-only deployment model. **Key benefits of remote MCP servers:** * **Easy setup**: No local installation required. Simply authenticate via OAuth to connect to your Cloudinary account. * **Universal accessibility**: Works with web-based AI agents, IDEs, and any MCP-compatible client with internet access. Remote servers communicate via Server-Sent Events (SSE) and you can access them from anywhere with an internet connection, making them ideal for teams and web-based development environments. **[Learn more about MCP server deployment options](cloudinary_llm_mcp#installation)** ### CLI clone enhancement The `clone` command in the Cloudinary CLI now supports cloning restricted assets as well as public ones. > **NOTE**: Cloning restricted assets generates a private download URL, which may incur additional bandwidth costs. To avoid these additional costs, you can [configure](cloudinary_cli#setting_configuration_parameters) an `auth_key` in your CLI configuration as described in the linked documentation below. **[Learn more](cloudinary_cli#clone)** ### Manage derived assets in the Media Library The new **Derived Assets** tab on the Manage page now lets you quickly delete, download, open, or edit your transformations in the Transformation Builder. ![Derived Assets tab](https://cloudinary-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/f_auto/q_auto/bo_1px_solid_grey/v1755473106/docs/DAM/manage_derived_assets_tab.png "thumb: w_800,dpr_2, width:800, popup:true") **[Learn more](media_library_for_developers#derived_assets)** ## Docs and demo apps ### Captions, subtitles and chapters in video tutorials You can now watch all video tutorials in the docs with captions and subtitles in a large number of languages. The tutorials also include automatic chapters, making it easier to jump to the parts of the video you're most interested in. Each of these features were added using the [Cloudinary Video Player](cloudinary_video_player) and Cloudinary's AI-based capabilities. **Learn more:** * [Video transcription](video_transcription) * [Transcription translation](video_transcription#requesting_translation) * [Subtitles and captions](video_player_customization#subtitles_and_captions) * [Video chapters](video_player_customization#video_chapters) ### New Astro Sample Project There's a new [Photo Album sample project](https://github.com/cloudinary-devs/astro-pa) available, which demonstrates how to use the community-developed [Astro SDK](community_sdks#astro_components) for uploading files to Cloudinary, and using transformations to optimize and customize their delivery and display. ![Astro Photo Album sample project](https://cloudinary-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/q_auto/f_auto/bo_1px_solid_grey/v1710094060/docs/astro-sample-project.png "thumb: w_700,dpr_2, width:700, popup:true") **[Learn more](https://astro.cloudinary.dev/)** ## Announcements ### create_collage and sprite endpoint deprecation The `/sprite` and the `create_collage` API endpoints (and corresponding SDK methods) will be deprecated as of **September 16, 2025**, and will no longer function after that date. Be sure to remove these features from any production code. > **TIP**: You can continue creating collages using [overlays](image_collage_generation#create_collages_using_overlays).
