  • Patent number: 11954912
    Abstract: A method for cutting or extracting video clips from a video, including the audio content relevant to points of particular interest, and combining the same for instruction or training on particular points; a computing device applying the method extracts text information from the spoken audio content of a video to be cut and obtains multiple paragraph segmentation positions as candidates for inclusion in a desired and finished presentation by analyzing the information from text representing the spoken audio content, the analysis being carried out by a semantic segmentation model. Candidate items of text are obtained by isolating pieces of text according to the paragraph segmentation positions. Time stamps of the candidate text segments are acquired, and candidate video clips are obtained by cutting the video according to the acquired time stamps.
