Methods to Analyze a Video with AI

Methods to Analyze a Video with AI

1. Transcribe the Video First

   • Use YouTube’s auto-generated captions (if available) or a tool like Otter.ai, Descript, Whisper AI, or Sonix to transcribe the video.
   • Once you have the transcript, you can input it into an LLM like ChatGPT for summarization and analysis.

2. Use AI Video Analysis Tools

   • Google’s Video AI API: Detects objects, people, text, and other details in a video.
   • Runway ML: Can analyze video scenes, recognize actions, and generate AI-assisted edits.
   • PimEyes: Face recognition in videos.
   • Deepgram: AI-driven speech-to-text analysis.

3. Use YouTube Summary Tools

   • Glasp and Eightify offer AI-generated summaries of YouTube videos, pulling key insights from transcripts.

4. Future Developments in LLMs

   • OpenAI is actively working on multimodal models that can process video.
   • Gemini (Google DeepMind) and Claude AI are rumored to be developing video-watching capabilities.
