I indexed 669 GB of my GoPro videos using my M1 Max computer and local ML models
110 points - today at 3:13 PM
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.

DaVinci 21 has indexing built-in (AI IntelliSearch). Not to diminish the work you did, but this is now available to many users (probably only Studio users since it has AI in the name)

I was surprised to learn that the
M1 Max CPU is an ARM/SoC, comparable to an 11th gen Intel i9

I would love your feedback and suggestions for new improvements or features you wanna have, either in the source available version, the desktop app or blog post itself?

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