Finding and compiling cheesy YouTube snippets into one video
I was looking for a fun project to do involving youtube-dl, and had an idea. What if there was a script that extracts snippets from a bunch of videos whenever a certain word is spoken, and glues the snippets together into a single video?
The reason my thoughts went there is that I often watch YouTube videos Lilia, and she says cheese / cheesy a lot. For example, she refers to donations as “cheesy bits”, so she might say “thank you for the cheesy bits”, and when someone subscribes she goes “welcome to the cheesy hoard”. And sometimes she just likes to discuss cheese (as we all do).
So basically, I wanted to make a video of Lilia saying cheese / cheesy a bunch of times. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Sure, it’s quirky at times, but that’s just extra funny to me.
Here’s the video. I added the last snippet manually, and removed all snippets that were “too long” because they included a lot of silence. Everything else was created automatically by the script.
