I'm looking for a good video summarizer! Sometimes a really interesting video pops up in my feed that I don't have time to watch but I want to skim a text version of it.

The ones I've tried have had a lot of issues. I just tried VideoGist on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tajhx6oTXnY and it printed an overall summary and the summaries of three "chapters" that it seems to have created (of lengths 18 seconds, 53 seconds, and 1:36), and now it seems to be hanging. It's an over 18 minute video. I don't know how long that's supposed to take, but I think being able to do the process relatively quickly is key, plus giving good feedback about the process (like a progress bar), and not being buggy/glitchy.



Apologies! I'm working on the reliability tonight. If you go back and try that video again, you'll see a full summary (I just regenerated it).
