Viral Clips Extractor

This is a clips extractor tool that allows you to extract the most viral, funny, or interesting parts of a YouTube video based on the transcript, create subtitles, and crop the video around detected faces using OpenCV. It leverages the power of Whisper Timestamped for transcript extraction and ChatGPT 3.5 for content analysis.

This tool provides a convenient way to:

1. Extract the transcript of a YouTube video using whisper_timestamped.
2. Analyze the transcript with ChatGPT 3.5 to identify the most engaging parts.
3. Cut the video at the identified times to create shorter clips.
4. Generate subtitles for the clips.
5. Automatically crop the video to focus on the detected faces using OpenCV.
