Prompt
I want to re-run transcript indexing on a video object `video` in Python because the previous attempt had network glitches. Standard calls raise an error if an index exists. What method call ensures spoken word re-indexing succeeds without throwing an existing index error?

VideoDB Skill
Perception + memory + actions for video, live streams, and desktop sessions.
Use this skill when you need to:
When to Use
You need video or audio perception, indexing, search, or timeline editing from files, URLs, desktop sessions, or live streams.
The task involves timestamps, searchable evidence, subtitles, clips, overlays, or real-time monitoring alerts.
You want one workflow that combines ingestion, understanding, retrieval, and media actions.
1) Desktop Perception
Start/stop a desktop session capturing screen, mic, and system audio
Stream live context and store episodic session memory
Run real-time alerts/triggers on what's spoken and what's happening on screen
Produce session summaries, a searchable timeline, and playable evidence links
2) Video ingest + stream
Ingest a file or URL and return a playable web stream link
Transcode/normalize: codec, bitrate, fps, resolution, aspect ratio
3) Index + search (timestamps + evidence)
Build visual, spoken, and keyword indexes
Search and return exact moments with timestamps and playable evidence
Auto-create clips from search results
4) Timeline editing + generation
Subtitles: generate, translate, burn-in
Overlays: text/image/branding, motion captions
Audio: background music, voiceover, dubbing
Programmatic composition and exports via timeline operations
5) Live streams (RTSP) + monitoring
Connect RTSP/live feeds
Run real-time visual and spoken understanding and emit events/alerts for monitoring workflows
