I built an open-source tool so Claude can actually "watch" videos — scene-aware frames + transcript, all local

Claude can't take a video file, and pasting a YouTube link just gets the transcript. So I built crv (claude-real-video): point it at a URL or file, it extracts only the frames that actually differ (scene changes, not fixed 1fps), transcribes the audio, and gives you a folder Claude can read directly. Everything runs on your machine. New in 0.7.0: crv-web — a local web page (EN/中文) where you paste a link, click Analyze, and open a result viewer. No terminal needed. pip install claude-real-video, MIT licensed
