# Video Summarizer Analyzes MP4 files in a directory via the Gemini API and writes a `.md` summary file next to each video. ## Prerequisites - `GEMINI_API_KEY` env var must be set - `google-genai` installed: `py -m pip install google-genai` - Python available as `py` (Windows) or `python3` ## Workflow ### 1. Determine the prompt Check if the user provided a custom prompt or specific extraction instructions. - **No custom prompt** -> use the default (structured summary with Title, Summary, Key Points, Takeaways) - **User provides custom instructions** -> pass them via `--prompt` or `--prompt-file` A custom prompt **completely replaces** the default. Examples of custom prompts: - "Extract all mentioned tools, their prices, and a one-line description for each" - "List every action item and deadline mentioned in this video" - "Create a transcript outline with timestamps" ### 2. Run the script ```bash # Default summary — all videos in current directory (recursive) py scripts/summarize_videos.py # Default summary — specific directory py scripts/summarize_videos.py "C:/path/to/videos" # Custom prompt (inline) — replaces default summary format py scripts/summarize_videos.py --prompt "Extract all product names and prices mentioned" # Custom prompt (from file) — replaces default summary format py scripts/summarize_videos.py --prompt-file my-prompt.txt # Both directory and custom prompt py scripts/summarize_videos.py "C:/path/to/videos" --prompt "List all key decisions mad
