LA hacks youtube highlights tool
The idea of this tool is to take a long youtube video and provide only the highlights of the video.
Project is tentatively going to be written in Python, Javascript, Flask, and the Youtube API
This LA Hacks project harnesses the hidden power of the comments sections of most available Youtube videos. We parse through the comments section of a given Youtube video and find all the timestamp references by users. We recognized how most time references in most Youtube video comments were the same. After parsing the video comments and determining the most popular and referenced points wihin a video, we could produce quick and effective highlights for most Youtube videos. By showing the popular points of most videos we help users quickly browse through Youtube videos and gauge their interest. Users not only can utilize our web service to determine what Youtube videos to watch, they save much time and effort.
