About

Initial goal

Make 1,292 home videos searchable without uploading them anywhere.

How it was orchestrated

PySceneDetect (AdaptiveDetector) plus FFmpeg split scenes; Microsoft Florence-2 Base runs locally to caption each scene; results in PostgreSQL media_db. No cloud APIs, no pay-per-token.

Outcome

Pipeline defined (5 years of footage); no cloud cost (0 USD declared); implementation ongoing.
