The visual track is technically just a collection of images displayed one after the other and are typically referred to as frames. When we want LLM to understand videos, most of the time we can do so by giving it a series of frames as images to process.\n\nHere, we use the Python Code node to extract the frames from the video using OpenCV, a computer vision library.

We'll use the loop node to create batches of 15 frames - this is because of our max of 90 frames, this fits perfectly for a total of 6 loops. Next, we'll convert each frame to a binary image so we can resize for and attach to the Basic LLM node. One trick to point out is that within the Basic LLM node, previous iterations of the generation are prepended to form a cohesive script. Without, the LLM will assume it needs to start fresh for each batch of frames.\n\nA wait node is used to stay within service rate limits. This is useful for new users who are still on lower tiers.
