What Is Video Summarization?
Video summarization is condensing a long video into a short account of its key points.
Video Summarization
Video summarization takes the content of a recording and reduces it to what matters, usually as a short block of text or a set of highlights. It can be done by hand or with software that works from the transcript.
Most videos hold a few key points spread across a lot of runtime, and a summary pulls them out.
For example, a long recording is summarized into five points anyone can read in under a minute.
