The videos can often be long or include lengthy portions of video clips that are not of interest to a user. In addition, while high definition images and video offer some advantages, such as the clarity of image and ability to zoom in on a point of interest, high definition video increases the file size of the videos and requires more storage space on the memory 274. Therefore, in some embodiments, the electronic processor 192 creates a shorter video showing only the points of interest. As a pipe inspection is taking place, points of interest or “highlights” are documented with captured images (which are also stored), text labels and audio clips.

After the original video is created, a second video, the “highlights reel”, can be created either with input from the user or automatically. The video is reduced in file size and length by removing the portions of the video that are less important to the viewer. In some embodiments, a user may set a minimum or a maximum file size or footage length for the highlights reel. For example, a user may set the maximum file size to a size that can be emailed. The electronic processor 192 can determine how many seconds of each point of interest to show in order to keep the highlight reel within a certain file size or length. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the electronic processor 192 includes some of the video frames between each highlight in order to show continuity of the video. The electronic processor 192 could decide how often to insert a frame of video between each highlight while still remaining with the designated file size. At any point during the highlight reel, the user can pause the video and inspect the frame as well as zoom in to take a closer look at the pipe. The user can then continue watching the video when desired. In some embodiments, the portion of the video that is not used for the highlights reel is discarded.
