	tl;dr: The author built a local pipeline to index 628 GoPro cycling videos (669 GB, 15+ hours) on an M1 Max using open-source ML models, enabling semantic search for interesting moments without cloud services. Matching clips can be sent directly to a DaVinci Resolve timeline for editing. The post includes detailed metrics on processing performance and indexing results.
	HN Discussion: ↑Similar projects have been done, sharing related work and validating the approach •Curious about technical implementation details like models used and costs ↑Excited about local ML for indexing personal media collections generally ↓DaVinci already offers built-in AI indexing, reducing novelty of this work ~Processing time/scale concerns suggest cloud GPUs may be more practical
