To detect motion from a video file, you can use the Vision framework, which provides APIs for detecting and tracking moving objects over multiple frames. The Vision framework is part of Apple's suite of tools for computer vision tasks, and it includes capabilities for motion detection.
In the session titled "Discover Swift enhancements in the Vision framework," it is mentioned that Vision can detect moving objects and track them over multiple frames. This functionality can be leveraged to detect motion in video files.
For more details, you can refer to the session Discover Swift enhancements in the Vision framework (03:09) where these capabilities are discussed.
