Clip2Story utilizes OpenAI's GPT-3.5 Turbo to transcribe news video clips and summarize the transcripts into initial story drafts. This prototype web application aims to reduce the workload for journalists by automating the creation of digital content from video sources, thus increasing efficiency and allowing reporters to focus on other important stories. The process begins with video uploads that are transcribed using the Trint API, followed by journalist review for accuracy. Once approved, the transcript is summarized, and relevant keywords are generated for the CMS. This system not only speeds up the reporting process but also enhances local news coverage by providing a quick turnaround for breaking stories.
