A Python CLI tool that analyzes videos by extracting key frames, transcribing audio with Whisper, and describing content using vision LLMs like Llama 3.2 Vision via Ollama or OpenAI-compatible APIs. It can run fully locally or against cloud LLM services and outputs structured JSON analysis results.

Use cases

• generate natural language descriptions of videos
• transcribe audio from video files
• summarize what happens in a video
• analyze video content without cloud services
• extract key frames from videos for LLM analysis
• describe surveillance or footage clips automatically

When to choose

• you want local, private video analysis with no API keys
• you need combined visual frame analysis plus audio transcription
• you have the hardware (GPU/Apple Silicon) to run vision models locally
• you want structured JSON output of video content

When to avoid

• you lack 16GB+ RAM or a capable GPU and cannot use cloud APIs
• you need real-time or streaming video analysis
• you need frame-accurate object detection rather than natural language descriptions
