# 05 - Reference Frame Files Instead of Embedding
## Date
2025-10-28
## Context
Embedding base64 images made the enhanced transcript files very large (3.7MB for ~40 frames). This made them harder to work with and slower to process.
## Problem
- Enhanced transcript with embedded base64 images was 3.7MB
- Large file size makes it slow to read/process
- Difficult to inspect individual frames
- Harder to share and version control
## Solution: Reference Frame Paths
Instead of embedding base64 image data, reference the frame files by their relative paths.
### Before (Embedded):
```
[00:08] SCREEN CONTENT:
IMAGE (base64, 85KB):
<image>data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRg...</image>
```
File size: 3.7MB
### After (Referenced):
```
[00:08] SCREEN CONTENT:
Frame: frames/zaca-run-scrapers_00257.jpg
```
File size: ~50KB
## Implementation
**Directory Structure:**
```
output/20251028-003-zaca-run-scrapers/
├── frames/
│ ├── zaca-run-scrapers_00257.jpg
│ ├── zaca-run-scrapers_00487.jpg
│ └── ...
├── zaca-run-scrapers.json (whisper transcript)
└── zaca-run-scrapers_enhanced.txt (references frames/ directory)
```
**Enhanced Transcript Format:**
```
================================================================================
ENHANCED MEETING TRANSCRIPT
Audio transcript + Screen frames
================================================================================
[00:30] SPEAKER:
Bueno, te dio un tour para el proyecto...
[00:08] SCREEN CONTENT:
Frame: frames/zaca-run-scrapers_00257.jpg
[01:00] SPEAKER:
Mayormente en Scrapping lo que tenemos...
[01:15] SCREEN CONTENT:
Frame: frames/zaca-run-scrapers_00487.jpg
TEXT:
| Code snippet from screen (if OCR was used)
```
## Benefits
**Much smaller files**: ~50KB vs 3.7MB (74x smaller!)
**Easier to inspect**: Can view individual frames directly
**LLM can access images**: Frame paths allow LLM to load images on demand
**Better version control**: Text files are small and diffable
**Cleaner structure**: Frames organized in dedicated directory
**Flexible**: Can still do OCR/vision analysis if needed (adds TEXT section)
## Flags
**`--embed-images`**: Skip OCR/vision analysis, just reference frame files
- Faster (no analysis needed)
- Lets LLM analyze raw images
- Enhanced transcript only contains frame references
**Without `--embed-images`**: Run OCR/vision analysis
- Extracts text from frames
- Enhanced transcript includes both frame reference AND extracted text
- Useful for code/dashboard analysis
## Usage
```bash
# Reference frames only (no OCR, faster)
python process_meeting.py samples/video.mkv --run-whisper --embed-images --scene-detection -v
# Reference frames + OCR text extraction
python process_meeting.py samples/video.mkv --run-whisper --use-hybrid --scene-detection -v
# Adjust frame quality (smaller files)
python process_meeting.py samples/video.mkv --run-whisper --embed-images --embed-quality 60 --scene-detection -v
```
## Files Modified
- `meetus/transcript_merger.py` - Modified `_format_detailed()` to output frame paths instead of base64
- `process_meeting.py` - Updated help text and examples to reflect frame referencing
- All processors (OCR, vision, hybrid) already include `frame_path` in results (no changes needed)
## Workflow Example
```bash
# First run: Generate everything
python process_meeting.py samples/meeting.mkv --run-whisper --embed-images --scene-detection -v
# Result:
# - output/20251028-004-meeting/
# - frames/ (40 frames, ~80KB each)
# - meeting.json (whisper transcript)
# - meeting_enhanced.txt (~50KB, references frames/)
# LLM can now:
# 1. Read enhanced transcript
# 2. See timeline of audio + screen changes
# 3. Load individual frames as needed from frames/ directory
```
