Paste a URL (YouTube, Instagram, X/Twitter, Vimeo, TikTok, Loom, and 1800 more) or a local file, ask a question, and Claude downloads the video, extracts frames, pulls a timestamped transcript, and reads every frame as an image . By the time it answers, it has seen the video and heard the audio. This is a fork of bradautomates/claude-video. The big change: transcription runs locally via mlx-whisper (Apple Silicon) or openai-whisper (CPU) instead of a paid Whisper API. No keys, no config file, no audio ever leaves your machine. Also adds browser-cookie support so login-gated sources (Instagram, X) work. --- Install Claude Code (plugin): Generic skill folder (Codex, etc.): Then run once to install dependencies (or let the first /watch do it): Windows: use python instead of python3 (the python3 alias is a Microsoft Store stub). ffmpeg + yt-dlp install via the winget commands the setup script prints; for transcription use pip install openai-whisper (mlx-whisper is Apple Silicon only). Requirements - Python 3.9+ - ffmpeg + yt-dlp — auto-installed via Homebrew on macOS; on Linux/Windows the installer prints the exact command. - A local Whisper engine (only needed for videos without captions): - mlx-whisper — pip3 install mlx-whisper — preferred on Apple Silicon, runs on the GPU/Neural Engine. - openai-whisper — pip3 install openai-whisper — CPU fal","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/mathiaschu","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/mathiaschu/watch/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
