Many home videos or even professionally shot videos are hilarious, heartwarming or disgusting but most contain endless seconds, if not minutes, of pointless footage.
The brilliant folks at Carnegie Mellon University have created an application to automatically remove those boring and unnecessary parts from videos. LiveLight uses an algorithm to constantly evaluate certain actions and movements within a video. It identifies the pieces that are integral to the overall theme of the video without sacrificing those hilarious, heartwarming or disgusting features we all live for.
While the example used above still produces a fairly dull video following edits, LiveLight is an amazing tool that could open the door to extreme cost and time-saving media concepts.
