rea-video in action: one prompt makes your coding agent break down any video, Apache 2.0 and free
thisguyknowsai · x · 2026-11-13
How the open-source tool rea-video works in practice:
- Use it directly inside Claude Code or Codex — just tell your agent: "Install rea-video and break down this video: /path/to/video.mp4"
- It analyzes the video and produces a report with shot breakdowns, production details and a remake plan
- You can also connect a video AI model for more accurate analysis and suggested prompts
- No expensive video-analysis subscription needed; the tool is free and open-source under Apache 2.0
- Only requires Python 3.10+ and FFmpeg to get started
