## Description
Claude only reads a video's transcript and misses everything visual: the cuts, the on-screen text, the product shots, the expressions. The fix is to download the video and slice it into still frames so Claude can read the images alongside the timed transcript. This guide gives you the exact yt-dlp and FFmpeg commands plus a full copy-paste skill file so you build it yourself in five minutes, entirely locally, without installing an unvetted repo. Includes scene-change extraction for long videos and the prompts for reverse-engineering hooks and retention.
