Video Analysis

Analyzes video files through two paths: small files (under 20MB by default) get sent directly to a video-capable model like Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite, while larger files fall back to keyframe extraction plus Whisper transcription. The native mode is fast and cheap (around $0.0014 for a 6MB clip), and the author's benchmark data shows Flash Lite hits 88% accuracy at 14x lower cost than Gemini Pro. For long videos, it uses scene detection to pull visually distinct frames instead of dumping every frame at your model. The invocation patterns are fussy because of the hyphenated directory name, so follow the documented import methods. Config lives in your workspace and survives updates, which is the right design.
