We are retiring Azure Media Analytics preview processors on 1 June 2020

We’ve made significant investments to Video Optical Character Recognition, Face Detector, and Content Moderator, as a part of the [general availability of Azure Media Services: Video Indexer](https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/video-indexer-general-availability-and-beyond/), announced on September 2018\. As a result, the following Azure Media Analytics preview processors will be retired on **1 June 2020**: * [Motion Detection (Preview)](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/media-services/previous/media-services-motion-detection) * [Video Summarisation (Preview)](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/media-services/previous/media-services-video-summarization) (a.k.a. Azure Media Video Thumbnail MP) * [Video Optical Character Recognition (Preview)](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/media-services/previous/media-services-video-optical-character-recognition) * [Face Detector (Preview)](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/media-services/previous/media-services-face-and-emotion-detection) * [Content Moderator (Preview)](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/media-services/previous/media-services-content-moderation) The preview capabilities above are based on older machine learning technologies and have limited customer usage in production. **How does this affect me?** After **1 June 2020**, any applications that you have developed using Motion Detection, Video Summarisation, Video Optical Character Recognition, Face Detector or Content Moderator will begin experiencing errors or failed job submissions. **What actions should I take?** If you require a solution that provides optical character recognition, face detection or content moderation on video, we recommend that you update your applications to use the Video Indexer capabilities through the [Video Indexer v2 REST API](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/media-services/video-indexer/video-indexer-overview) or the Video Analyzer preset in the [Azure Media Services v3 API](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/media-services/latest/analyzing-video-audio-files-concept) before 1 June 2020. Motion Detection and Video Summarisation will be retired and are not being replaced at this time. We will evaluate both scenarios and use-cases with customers for future investments.
