Turn a video into a brief for ChatGPT, Claude or another AI

Make a timestamped JSON of what was said and shown in a video, plus an optional ZIP with images and a storyboard, to give to an LLM. Runs on your Mac.

Where to find it

Menu bar → AI Video Brief from File…

The FrameCast AI Video Brief window: Evidence detail set to Balanced, Include image evidence on, a sampled frame, and Copy JSON, Save JSON… and Save Evidence ZIP… buttons.

How to do it

  1. Choose AI Video Brief from File… in the menu bar, or Choose a video… under Video briefs in the Studio. From the editor, use Create AI Video Brief… in the Export tab.

  2. Pick Compact, Balanced, or Detailed for how often frames are sampled.

  3. Turn Transcribe speech and Include image evidence on or off.

  4. Press Analyze Video.

  5. Press Copy JSON, Save JSON…, or Save Evidence ZIP… for the JSON plus selected images and a storyboard PDF.

Good to know

  • Everything runs on your Mac and nothing is uploaded. Speech may need Speech Recognition permission and a language download.
  • It samples the full original video, including areas outside your crop, so review it before you share. Small details and quick actions can be missed.
  • If your AI tool won’t take a ZIP, unzip it and attach the JSON with storyboard.pdf or the JPEGs.
