Give Claude eyes and ears on any online video, then analyze it. Downloads a video from a URL (YouTube, Instagram, X, Vimeo, and 1000+ yt-dlp sites), extracts key frames, and gets a transcript (native captions, else local Whisper), then hands the frames + timestamped transcript to Claude so it can produce a full breakdown — hook, format, storytelling structure, pacing and visual layout — grounded in what's actually on screen AND said. Pass several URLs to batch-analyze dozens at once and surface the patterns the best ones share. Use whenever the user shares a video link (or many) and wants it watched, analyzed, broken down, summarized, or turned into a script/notes.
