What we checked ourselves
Not copied from the project's own blurb. These are things we opened and verified, with the date.
- 23 Aug 2026We checked that the link to the project still resolves.
- 14 Aug 2026We read the licence text itself (LICENSE). No unusual restrictions were stated.
- 31 Jul 2026We read the project's own documentation and found no sign that development has stopped.
Where this sits among the 63 tools we list in Claude Code ecosystem
- No API key required43 of 63
- Keeps your data on your own machine19 of 63
- Commercial use confirmed as allowed53 of 63
- Requires terminal commands9 that do not →
Only 18 of the 63 meet all of the conditions above.
Counted from our own checks: every tool we list is examined against the same criteria.
What it does
Naive one-frame-per-second sampling wastes most of the budget on frames where nothing moved. This keeps only the frames that differ and can pack them into contact sheets — the author's example takes a 58-second clip from 58 frames to 26, then to 3 images. Fewer tokens for the same content. The trade-off is inherent: on static footage where the important thing is said rather than shown, dropped frames can drop the point. MIT.
