What Real Video does

Real Video extracts scene-aware keyframes and a transcript from a video URL or local file so Claude can summarize, analyze, or answer questions about it. Use when the user shares a video and wants it discussed.

Real Video is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Real Video comes from a repository tagged claude, claude-code, cli, ffmpeg and keyframe-extraction.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

pip install "claude-real-video[whisper]" (installs the crv CLI; needs Python 3.10+ and ffmpeg)
The [whisper] extra is required for speech-to-text — pip never installs extras on its own. The first transcription then downloads a whisper base model (~139 MB).

Steps

Run the extractor (add --grid to cut image count ~9x — recommended):
```
crv "<url-or-path>" -o crv-out --grid --why "<what the user wants to know>"
```
For long videos cap the frames: --max-frames 60.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
