Hoping this can help me cut down the time I need to use on watching YT videos for uni. Outputting 20-30 mins into a .txt and feeding it to ChatGPT for summarizing. Thanks!

Coincidentally I threw something together this weekend that attempts to do just that. [0] It's really simple - just extracts subtitles and feeds it to ChatGPT to generate a markdown "article".

This is interesting. I assume the samples on the website you linked are all precomputed outputs, right?

Not sure why people are downvoting.

I can confirm for some types of lectures this is a wholly legitimate approach.

If you want to try scribe I developed last week, it adds punctuations from the raw YouTube transcripts so you can read them more easily. It also adds chapters every 3 paragraphs to more easily skim the content. All runs in your browser using 2 models https://www.appblit.com/scribe

Not for uni but I was thinking similar. Find or create a playlist, have this tool transcribe it, feed all that into ChatGPT or similar, have to output a summary, either brief (i.e., highlights) or full depth & breadth of all the videos.
