Check how GPT saves me five hours a week.
Developing content for my YouTube channel is time-consuming, but GPT’s ability to summarize YouTube videos has been a game-changer. Even if you’re not a creator, GPT can summarize long videos for you in either a paragraph or bullet point form, allowing you to digest it quickly and save loads of time.
In this article, I will show you step by step how to summarize YouTube videos using GPT. I will also share my secret on how to use these summaries to generate unique video content for my channel.
To summarize a YouTube video, you first need to get the transcription. There are two ways to do this: using a free extension on Chrome or doing it manually. I will show you the faster method using the Chrome extension.
After choosing your video, click on the three dots and select ‘show transcript’. Remove the timestamps by toggling timestamps off. Then, copy the transcript and paste it into ChatGPT to request a summary. Click the button, and there you have it!
If you prefer to do it manually, follow the same steps to get the transcript. Then, copy and paste it into ChatGPT to generate a summary.
Once you have the summary, you can either use it as is or convert it into a bullet point summary. Simply ask GPT to summarize it again, and you’ll have a concise bullet point summary.
Now that you have summarized several videos, it’s time to analyze them. One way to do this is to read through the summaries and highlight the most important points. Another approach is to identify repetitive points that are commonly discussed by your competitors. This will help you see what has not been covered and allow you to make your own videos unique.
My favorite technique is to find unique ideas in my competitors’ videos and put my own spin on them. This allows me to personalize the ideas and make them my own. It’s a great way to get regular inspiration and generate new perspectives for my content.
In addition to summarizing videos, ChatGPT can also rewrite a summary from your own unique angle. This feature is powerful and can help you create fresh and original content.
