Description
What if you could show an AI your entire video in one image?This turns a video into a 2D thumbnail grid—like a contact sheet. 48 frames, one image, full video context. Built on VAM Seek, a thumbnail grid I made for human video navigation. Turns out the same format works for AI too.Prototype. Feedback welcome.

Could you build this?
Yes Extracting frames at intervals using ffmpeg/canvas, stitching them into a contact sheet grid image, and sending that single image to a multimodal Vision API is a simple workflow easily coded with AI.
