rea-video: reverse-engineer any video, shot by shot

A Python tool that breaks a video down shot by shot, telling whether each shot was filmed, AI-generated or coded, and laying out how it was made with a replication plan.

Why it matters

The first tool that treats video like software to reverse-engineer: shot-level provenance plus a rebuild plan, for live streams, AI video and 3D animation alike.

What you could build with it

A video researcher could run rea-video on a viral AI clip to document exactly which shots were generated and how to reproduce the look.

Does it hold up?

Too early to judge: a week-old repo with about 2.5k stars and no independent reviews yet. The shot-by-shot breakdown is the demo to try first.
