claude-real-video: An open-source tool for scene-aware, local video processing with LLMs
By

Summary
This article introduces "claude-real-video," an open-source MIT-licensed tool that enables LLMs like Claude to actually process video content beyond just transcripts. Unlike existing AI tools that either only read transcripts (ChatGPT, Claude) or sample frames at fixed intervals (Gemini), this tool runs locally and uses scene-aware frame extraction — capturing frames at every scene change, deduplicating near-identical frames, and transcribing audio. It works from URLs or local files, giving LLMs both visual and textual understanding of video content.

· 5 pulledMost AI tools don't really see a video.
Paste a YouTube link into ChatGPT and it reads the transcript, not the picture.
Claude won't take a video file at all.
Even Gemini, which can read video natively, has to send it up to Google and samples frames at a fixed interval (1 fps by default), so fast cuts slip past.
claude-real-video does it differently, and locally: point it at a URL or a file, and it pulls the frames that actually matter (every scene change, not a fixed quota), throws away the near-duplicates, transcribes the audio, and hands you the result.
