Promptable segmentation lets a person or system point at the target and get its mask on demand, so the model is not limited to categories chosen in advance. It suits editing and review tools where the object of interest changes shot to shot.

AI for Video: A Complete Guide to Intelligence in Video Products: From Models and Inference to Computer Vision, Speech, Search, and Generative Video
Promptable segmentation lets an editor click an object and get its mask across a shot, instead of training a class in advance. This volume covers promptable segmentation in detail: SAM 2 and its memory module, mask propagation across frames, rotoscoping and region-of-interest workflows, and deployment choices. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
