media.nvim
What is in this media file, one picture of it, and — a video or an audio file's speech, turned into text. ffprobe says how long, how big and in which codec; ffmpeg produces a poster frame, a contact sheet or a waveform as a PNG on disk; a local transcription engine turns the speech in it into a buffer, a .transcript.md sidecar, or SRT/VTT subtitles. :Media text turns any of the four into text with one verb — an image through images.nvim's OCR, a PDF through pdfport, audio and video through the transcription engine. Anything that can draw a picture can then show a video — which was, until now, everywhere just a size in bytes and the word "binary".
