Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Claude better than ChatGPT for long videos?
Claude (specifically Claude 3 Opus/Sonnet) has a significantly larger context window (up to 200k tokens), meaning it can ingest and remember much larger transcripts without forgetting earlier parts of the video.
Can I just paste the text instead of uploading a file?
Yes, you can paste the text directly, but uploading the TXT file is often cleaner and easier for massive 20,000+ word transcripts.
