claude-real-video: Free Tool to Make Claude Watch Videos with Perception Layer
The claude-real-video tool (free, open-source) solves a specific gap: Claude reads transcripts but never actually sees the video. The Pro version adds a local perception layer that extracts camera movements, pacing, gestures, and voice emotion from video, then feeds that context to Claude for analysis.
How It Works
- Free version (GitHub): Frame extraction tool for Claude
- Pro version adds: local perception layer (camera moves, pacing, gestures, voice emotion), a viewer where the transcript follows playback, and one-click written reports combining visual walkthrough + content analysis
Demo
The 60-second demo shows the tool watching NVIDIA's GTC 2026 keynote and narrating what happens on screen — Claude describes the presentation dynamics, not just the transcript.
Key Feature: Runs Locally
Everything runs on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
