Most videos are already summarised versions, since they mostly don't last more than an hour. If you are interested in reading, you could very well read the closed captions or as you said a quality summary. But, videos have their own strengths. They can captivate your attention through visual content, which helps you in ingraining the ideas deep into your mind. It's similiar to reading book summaries instead of the whole book. You get the ideas easily, but you don't have necessary evidence or captivation to believe in them and practice those ideas.

Most videos are summaries already! Get to the source if you want the full version.

It helps drill it in your mind if you watch the video... but if you are working on yourself then whatever works best for you is good
