video-understanding 0.1.1

Understand and describe your videos with SmolVLM2, Whisper and Qwen. Fully local.

🎬 Video Understanding Local

AI-powered video analysis that combines audio transcription and visual understanding - running entirely on your machine!

Perfect for organizing raw footage, preparing video montages, or extracting insights from your video content - all while keeping your data completely private on your own machine.

✨ Key Features

• 👁️ Visual Scene Analysis: Frame-by-frame understanding with SmolVLM2
• 🎙️ Audio Undrestanding: Speech-to-text using Whisper model
• 🔒 Fully Offline: All models run locally - under your entire control

🚀 Installation

Simply install from PyPI:

pip install video_understanding

💡 Quick Start

from video_understanding.video_understanding import analyze_video

# Analyze any video file
summary = analyze_video("path/to/video.mp4")
print(summary)

That's it! The AI will watch your video and tell you what's happening.

📸 Example: Auto-Organizing Raw Footage

Here's a practical example that can save you hours - automatically renaming raw video files based on their content:

import os
from video_understanding.video_understanding import analyze_video

# Define what you want the AI to focus on
system_prompt = """
Analyze this video and generate a concise filename that describes 
the main action and subject. Use lowercase with underscores.
Focus on key visual elements and dialogue.
"""

# Process videos in your folder
video_folder = "raw_footage"

for video_file in os.listdir(video_folder):
    video_path = os.path.join(video_folder, video_file)
    print(f"🎬 Processing: {video_file}")
    
    # Get AI-generated descriptive name
    new_name = analyze_video(video_path, system_prompt)
    ext = video_file.split(".")[-1]
    new_filename = f"{new_name}.{ext}"
    
    # Rename file
    os.rename(video_path, os.path.join(video_folder, new_filename))
    print(f"✅ Renamed to: {new_filename}\n")

This transforms generic filenames like "VIDEO_001.mp4" into descriptive ones like "team_assembling_robot_arm.mp4", making your footage instantly searchable and organized! 🎉
