Ask HN: [Survey] One Button Automatic Video Editing Cloud Service
Hello Hacker News,
I am a developer. I was wondering if any of you would be interested in an one button automatic video editing service. What you will do is upload your video on a cloud platform, and algorithms will automatically edit your videos to create interesting content for you. The key here is that this is not a tradition video editing software, and the UI will be minimal. The algorithms will automatically find the important parts of the video.
The assumption I have is that the current video editing software is too much hassle for everyone. Let me know if I am wrong or right! Thx
The following is a survey that will help me greatly!

Knowing how to cut videos in a meaningful way is not something that can be accomplished with current state of the art A.I as it requires a higher level of cognition. You need a human to tell what content is interesting. Thank you for the feedback. Perhaps a hybrid or other approach could accomplish this. I can either add human element to process using say using amazon mechanical turk or instead of finding the interesting contents, I would eliminate or organize repetitive contents. My biggest problem right now is finding the people besides me that would use this piece of technology and perhaps pay for it. I still have lots of videos that I would like to edit, but don't have the energy and time to do it.
