That's ridiculous, because a computer can't select "the best pieces of
the video clips".  What's "best" about a clip is a subjective
determination, and all computers can do is make objective
determinations based on data that they gather from the clip.

A computer can't tell the difference between a baby smiling and a flag
waving.
