TLDR: I had 2,207 GoPro videos, and I need to rewatch them to find interesting moments from my cycling journey. I built a project to index them locally on my M1 Max using open-source ML models, search for those moments, and send the best clips straight to my DaVinci Resolve timeline. I indexed 628 videos (668.68 GB, 15h 13m 18s of footage duration), more details in the metrics table in the last section of this article.

Does it work for porn collections too?

You'll need a lora for this, porn content rejection is heavy. Or you'll need a abliterated model, not sure if vision also works.

You might want to add something like yolo finetune to detect scenes + face recognition too.

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic but I think this is an interesting question. Would deep seek be useful here since it is local?

The title should link to the "full article". I wonder if OP's domain name is banned or something and they're doing this to get around it

Last time I tried whisper, it hallucinated an elaborate conversation from sounds of slapping and moaning and it took minutes to spit every single line of it.
