Is anyone aware of a DAM that will do face recognition (or possibly object recognition) with video files? I just digitized years' worth of family videos. It would be great to just find an object or face in a similar way as Photos does on the Mac for stills. It's just too much to edit.
 
I just tag the video clips with FCP and its keyword editor. A manual process that, in the end, is less time consuming to get reliable AI results. You have to go back through and check the videos for missing faces anyway. While I'm there I also tag the clips with events, like BD parties or holidays. Dunno about you, but the quality of my home videos vary, so I take a clip section with quality data. Takes time but the cross indexing is useful.

FCP has a powerful tagging, indexing, organizational, and search features, the main reason that I went with it years ago.

There is security software that analyses video for faces.
