Video Watcher

What it does

Give Claude a video link or file, and it extracts important scenes as images along with a speech-to-text transcript. Claude then reads through those to answer questions, summarize, or analyze the video's structure. You get a written analysis of a video Claude couldn't otherwise watch directly.

Who it’s for

A good fit for people who research markets, competitors or topics and busy people who want to get organised.

Do you need to code?

Some. To get the most from this one you may need to be comfortable with code, the command line or technical setup.

How to install

Add it as a skill, or as part of its plugin. This skill also ships inside a plugin, so you can upload just this skill to Claude, or install the whole plugin it comes in. See the step-by-step guide.

Safety note

Requires installing Python tools and ffmpeg on your computer; downloads a speech-recognition model.

As with any add-on, only install skills from sources you trust, and read what it does first.
