Personalized Marathon Video Generation

Multi-Camera Personalized Marathon Video System

**Objective:**
Automate the creation of personalized marathon videos by extracting participant clips from multiple fixed cameras (at finish line & checkpoints), using timing mat data, and stitching them together with branded intro/outro and overlays.

---

### Key Requirements

1. **Footage Management**

* Handle multiple video files per camera location (supports camera restarts, gaps).
* Map each video file to camera location and start time (via naming or CSV).

2. **Timing Data Integration**

* Accept timing data per location for each participant (CSV).
* Match participant’s chip time to correct video segment and camera.

3. **Clip Extraction & Processing**

* Extract 6–8s personalized clips at each checkpoint.
* Add overlays: name, bib, time, and location.
* Concatenate clips in sequence with a branded intro/outro.

4. **Output**

* One final video per participant (e.g., `final_1234.mp4`).
* Save to output folder, optionally create JSON with metadata.

5. **Technical**

* PHP 8.x (preferred), Bash/Python optional for helper scripts.
* Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
* Tools: FFmpeg, FFprobe.
* Inputs: `.mp4` videos, `.csv` timing data.

6. **Deliverables**

* PHP CLI script with documentation.
* Sample data for testing.
* One round of revision after integration.

Give your estimate and timelines.

Phase-1 : Start with 1-Camera Setup at finish line.
Phase-2 : Add more features for multi-camera at different locations & different camera types.
Phase-3 : Use AI-detection to Zoom-in/Zoom-out on the person from the wide-video.
Phase-4 : Desktop-app for uploading video data
