Generate an AI Video Summary
To generate the summary, first ensure that the video subtitles are created, as they are required for AI-generated summaries.
Navigate to Courses and select the course containing the video you want to summarize.

2. Οpen the AI Assistant and select Video Summary from the available options.
The AI will analyze the video and generate a structured summary highlighting the key points. Fill in the required details, review the generated summary, and make any necessary edits or refinements.
By default, the summary will appear at the end of your video, but you can place it anywhere within the video timeline under Timing & Actions by setting up the start and end time.
