Frequently asked questions.

What is AI video summarization?
AI video summarization automatically analyses the transcript and content of a video and produces a concise written overview — including key points, chapter breakdowns, suggested titles, and target audience notes. Humlens generates these summaries from the video transcript without any manual input.
How does Humlens generate a video summary?
Humlens extracts the transcript from your video, sends it to an AI language model, and returns a structured summary containing an overview paragraph, a list of key points, chapter timestamps, a suggested title, and audience signals. The entire process takes seconds once the transcript is available.
What is a summary video and how is it different from a text summary?
A text summary describes the content of a video in written form. A summary video is a new, shorter video compiled from the most important moments of the original — one short clip per chapter. Humlens creates both: generate the written summary first, then create the summary video to automatically assemble the highlight clips into a single shareable video.
Can I localize a summary video into other languages?
Yes. Once Humlens assembles your summary video, you can immediately dub it into multiple languages using the built-in localization pipeline — transcribing, translating, synthesizing localized audio, and muxing it with the video.
Can I choose how many seconds to include per chapter in the summary video?
Yes. When creating a summary video, Humlens lets you select the clip duration per chapter — 15, 30, 45, or 60 seconds — before assembling the video. Humlens automatically caps each clip at the start of the next chapter so clips never overlap.
How long does it take to generate a video summary?
Generating a text summary from an existing transcript takes a few seconds. Assembling a summary video depends on the number of chapters and the length of each selected clip — a typical summary video with four to six chapters is ready in under two minutes.
