What problem does it solve?

Extracting insights from long-form YouTube videos is tedious; video-lens automates downloading, frame-by-frame extraction, and captioning/indexing to create searchable video metadata and visual summaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Download a YouTube video, extract frames at configurable intervals, and caption/index every frame using a VLM (LM Studio or Claude API).
  • Generate a structured JSON index and a readable Markdown summary for easy review and downstream processing.
  • Use cases include frame-by-frame analysis, scene summarization, accessibility captioning, and searchable video archives.

Quick Start

Run video-lens with a YouTube URL to download the video, extract frames at a chosen interval, and generate a JSON index plus a readable Markdown summary.
