Agents are blind to video by default. This tool pulls footage from 100+ platforms with yt-dlp, samples frames by duration, and builds a timestamped transcript from captions or Whisper... then hands the whole thing to Claude.

Use it to dissect a viral hook, debug a screen recording, or summarize an hour in seconds. Time-window flags keep token cost down when you only need the good part.
