I'm trying to find effective ways to condense some lengthy videos into a more manageable 30-40 minute format. These videos are quite repetitive, with multiple camera angles and similar information that could definitely be trimmed down. I'm planning to use some AI tools to transcribe the videos with timestamps, and then I want to leverage ChatGPT to summarize the key points and highlight the most important segments. However, I'm unsure of the best method to actually shorten the videos themselves. Any suggestions or tools that could help?

You could use FFMPEG to help shorten your videos based on the timestamps you get from your transcriptions. It's a powerful tool for video processing and can automate cutting down your footage quite efficiently. If you need help with writing the scripts for this, ChatGPT can totally guide you through that!
I'm actually starting on the transcription part now and will dive into the FFMPEG scripts tomorrow. ChatGPT has been a lifesaver so far!
