Inspiration

No one likes watching an hour-long documentary,

What it does

it pulls the captions from a youtube video, and runs the text through a summarizing algorithm. With the summarized text, the program is able to edit the original videos using the caption file and compile a seamless shortened video

How I built it

Pure python and some libraries.

Challenges I ran into

originally wanted to use youtube's API to download the captions, but I couldn't get it to work. Switched to a python library. I wanted to implement some other stuff but never got to it.Got a bit boring

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

made something

What I learned

SRT caption file/format, editing videos with python

What's next for Video summary

also, edit video based off visual characteristics instead of only text. Improve summarizing algorithm

Note

Not sure what I changed since the youtube demo(I don't remember changing anything), but it's really slow now. for better performance and easier use, run nonwebapp.py ¯_(ツ)_/¯
