> HighlightCam, which we covered last month, is a service that can look through hours of video footage and identify when something happens. The company’s first product involves security cameras — it can take many hours of security footage and then identify the few moments when things out of the ordinary are happening, cutting down the footage to only a few minutes of important content. Soon the company will be releasing its API, which will allow developers to tap into the software to shorten a variety of different kinds of content (including things like wedding videos). The software can produce 20-30 second trailers automatically for any kind of video.<p>This is actually an interesting one, I think: one of the knocks against [lifelogging](<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifelog" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifelog</a>) is that it will be too hard to search all the hours of video, but condensed videos would be much easier to search.
