Curious how resource intensive AI subtitle generation will be. Probably fine on some setups.
Trying to use madVR (tweaker's video postprocessing) in the summer in my small office with an RTX 3090 was turning my office into a sauna. Next time I buy a video card it'll be a lower tier deliberately to avoid the higher power draw lol.
I think it really depends on how accurate you want / what language you are interpreting. https://github.com/openai/whisper has multiple variations on their model, but they all pretty much require VRAM/graphics capability (or likely NPUs as they become more commonplace).
