FrameStory 0.1.4

A Python package for creating video descriptions by analyzing and extracting significant frames.

Frame Story

FrameStory is a Python package designed for extracting and describing significant frames from videos. Leveraging state-of-the-art machine learning models, it can provide detailed descriptions of video content, making it a powerful tool for content analysis, accessibility, and summarization.

Installation

To install FrameStory, you can use pip:

pip install FrameStory

Usage

Using FrameStory is straightforward. Below are examples demonstrating how to extract and describe significant frames from videos with various parameters.

Describing Video by URL

from frame_story.video_describer import VideoDescriber

video_url = "https://example.com/video.mp4"
describer = VideoDescriber(show_progress=True)
descriptions = describer.get_video_descriptions(video_url=video_url)
print(descriptions)

Describing Video from Local Path

video_path = "/path/to/your/video.mp4"
describer = VideoDescriber(show_progress=True, max_tokens=50)
descriptions = describer.get_video_descriptions(video_path=video_path)
print(descriptions)

Customizing Extraction Threshold

The extract_significant_frames method allows you to customize the threshold for what constitutes a "significant" change between frames.

video_url = "https://example.com/video.mp4"
describer = VideoDescriber(threshold=25000)
descriptions = describer.get_video_descriptions(video_url=video_url)
print(descriptions)

These examples demonstrate the versatility of frame_story in processing videos from different sources and with various levels of detail in descriptions.
