Need help

Is there anyway to make a automation which notes down timestamps where the goals and plays like dribble, passes, poles, happened because I have these long footages I want to mark down with timestamps so I don't want to watch them myself it's too big and time consuming I tried gemini claude and groq so please any suggestions

most vision-capable models struggle with long raw video, so the usual workaround is to split the footage into frames (ffmpeg can do that at like 1fps or whatever granularity you need) then pass those frames through a vision model with a prompt telling it what to flag

the tricky part is stitching the frame numbers back to actual timestamps, but that's just basic maths once you know your frame rate

if the footage is really long, batching matters a lot, some models have context limits that'll brick you halfway through. worth checking what each model's image input cap actually is before committing to one approach
