Claude Real Video tools (5)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • get_frames

    Fetch more keyframes from a video already analysed with watch_video.

  • get_transcript

    Return the full timestamped transcript of a video already analysed, without re-sending any frames. Use when you only need the words (quoting, searching a long talk) and the images would waste context.

  • list_watched

    List every video crv has already watched, newest first, with how long it was and how many searchable lines it produced. Cheap way to check whether a video needs watching again before spending time on it.

  • search_memory

    Search everything crv has ever watched — spoken words and on-screen text — and get back the video, the timestamp and the matching line. Use this instead of watch_video when the answer might already be on disk, or when the question spans several videos ("which video mentioned pricing?").

  • watch_video

    Actually watch a video: download (URL) or read (local path), extract scene-aware deduplicated keyframes and a timestamped transcript, all locally. Returns the transcript plus the first batch of keyframes as images; use get_frames for more frames from the same video.

What the publisher says

From the Claude Real Video repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

claude-real-video

▶ The 60-second pixel film — sound on (mp4 on GitHub) · an AI agent searches "how can an LLM truly understand video?", finds a key, and unlocks vision.

60-second real demo — real install, real run, real viewer.

Let Claude — or any LLM — actually watch a video.

pip install "claude-real-video[whisper]"
npx skills add HUANGCHIHHUNGLeo/claude-real-video   # one command, installs the skill into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI & 50+ agent hosts

Claude Code plugin marketplace (enable auto-update in /plugin → Marketplaces if you want it):

/plugin marketplace add HUANGCHIHHUNGLeo/claude-real-video
/plugin install claude-real-video@claude-real-video

Then paste a video link into your agent and ask about it. (CLI-only use? crv "" works with just the pip install.)

Naming: crv is the short name for claude-real-video (the PyPI package). The paid add-on, crv Pro, is sold on Capafy under the listing name "llm-real-video Pro".

▶ New: the 40-second film — my AI agent learned to watch videos (and stopped working)

Same 58-second clip: fixed 1 fps sampling = 58 frames. crv keeps the 26 that actually differ — and --grid packs them into 3 contact sheets. Fewer tokens, nothing missed.

This free version lets your AI see the video. crv Pro lets it understand it — how it was shot (cut rhythm, camera moves) plus a timestamped timeline of what frames can't show: gestures, expressions, voice pitch shifts, emotion, sound events. One-time price $29 — get it on Capafy or buy with card via Lemon Squeezy.

On Codex CLI? Real Video for Codex is a self-contained build for it. You ask Codex about a video, it runs one command, then reads a SUMMARY.md with chapters, a timecoded transcript and the text that was on screen, which this free edition leaves out. So it can quote the config block on the slide at 12:40, not only what the speaker said about it, and it answers you in hh:mm:ss. Download, frames, transcription and text recognition all run on your machine, and the tool itself needs no API key and no account. Ships with the Codex skill and a crv-easy doctor self-check. Python 3.10 to 3.14, macOS or Windows 11 native. One-time $9.90: get it on Capafy or buy with card via Lemon Squeezy.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
