vidiq.sh <url> frames 10 - Feed frames to vision model for content understanding
- Answer questions about the video based on frame analysis
Supported Platforms
YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X/Twitter, any direct video URL, local files.
Notes
- Downloaded videos are cached in
/tmp/vidiq/for reuse - Frames output to
/tmp/vidiq/frames_*/ - For long videos, extract more frames for better coverage
- GIFs are optimized with palette generation for small file size
