Summarize a video in 3 steps
Add a video
Paste a YouTube or Bilibili URL, or upload MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM or audio.
Transcribe and split into chapters
Get a timestamped transcript, then chapters based on where the topic changes.
Read the summary
One summary per chapter, an overview and key takeaways. Ask follow-up questions if something is unclear.
Why chapter summaries beat a single paragraph
Structure you can navigate
A one-paragraph summary flattens an hour of content. Chapters let you see the outline first and dive into the parts you care about.
Every claim has a source
Summaries and answers cite timestamps, so you can check the original words instead of trusting the AI blindly.
Keep what's useful
Quote passages into notes with timestamp links, and export them as Markdown.
Best for
Lectures and online courses, conference talks, podcasts, interviews, webinars and keynotes: long, talk-heavy videos where a structured summary saves the most time. Short clips or videos with little speech don't benefit much.
FAQ
How long does summarizing take?
It depends on video length, source and service load. The transcript is ready first; you can start reading it while the chapter summaries are generated.
How long can the video be?
Framedistill is built for long videos such as lectures and interviews; one- to two-hour videos are summarized chapter by chapter. Longer videos take proportionally longer.
Is Framedistill free?
You can sign up for free. AI features such as transcription, chapter summaries and Q&A are limited by your plan and available credits, which you can check on the account credits page after signing in. It is not unlimited.
How accurate are the transcripts and summaries?
Accuracy depends on audio quality, accents, background noise and the quality of the original captions. AI transcription and summaries can be wrong, so every summary links back to a timestamp: click it to check the original before you quote a point or a number.
