H.264 MP4 and WebM work most reliably; short clips use fewer frames and longer clips use up to five.

The API reports frame count, scored, pending and failed frames plus median, mean and maximum scores.
Video is judged on 15 sampled frames, at least 3 of which must score strongly: 82.6% caught (62.9-93.0%) on 23 videos at 1.4% false warnings. That interval is wide because the set is small. Sampled video says nothing about motion, lip-sync, or the moments between sampled frames.
