> With home videos, about 90% of the footage is boring, 8% is entertaining, and 2% is amazing.
There is some great tech out there to help cut through the first 90%, I think. I've done a couple projects using Amazon Rekognition (and Google's equivalent) to:
- automatically detect scene changes (cuts in the video)
- annotate the video with a transcription, and
- perform facial detection and image classification
With Rekognition alone; it's entirely possible to give it a 1 hour home movie, and code up how you'd like your computer to generate a highlight reel for you. "Show me everyone's face at least once, prefer smiling faces. If there's a gap of >4 seconds without dialogue, cut it down to 4 seconds."
