I indexed 669 GB of my GoPro videos using my M1 Max computer and local ML models

82•iliashad•2h ago

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.

This would fit most best as a “Show HN:” post :)

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

I tried to edit it and add Show HN, but it doesn't show the edited version. Thank you!

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.

Asking the important questions

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?

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.
