Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 10.0/10
Tested: Jul 16, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Jul 18, 2026 · 5234dbf

Ran the real pipeline end to end against a synthetic 6-second test clip: ffmpeg frame extraction and local Whisper transcription both executed for real and returned the exact JSON manifest shape the README documents, down to field names. No network calls beyond the disclosed one-time Whisper model download, no exfiltration, nothing hidden - genuinely gives Claude a video-watching capability it has no other way to get.

What Video Vision does

Extracts sampled frames via ffmpeg and a timestamped transcript via local Whisper, then answers questions grounded in both visual and audio evidence with [MM:SS] citations. Triggers whenever a user references a local video file (.mp4/.mov/.mkv/.webm/.avi/.m4v) wanting it watched, summarized, searched, captioned, or transcribed; fully offline after a one-time Whisper model download.
