+## Basic Video Analysis
+
+### Local Video
+
+```python
+from google import genai
+import os
+
+client = genai.Client(api_key=os.getenv('GEMINI_API_KEY'))
+
+# Upload video (File API for >20MB)
+myfile = client.files.upload(file='video.mp4')
+
+# Wait for processing
+import time
+while myfile.state.name == 'PROCESSING':
+    time.sleep(1)
+    myfile = client.files.get(name=myfile.name)
+
+if myfile.state.name == 'FAILED':
+    raise ValueError('Video processing failed')
+
+# Analyze
+response = client.models.generate_content(
+    model='gemini-2.5-flash',
+    contents=['Summarize this video in 3 key points', myfile]
+)
+print(response.text)
+```
+
+### YouTube Video
+
+```python
+from google.genai import types
+
+response = client.models.generate_content(
+    model='gemini-2.5-flash',
+    contents=[
+        'Summarize the main topics discussed',
+        types.Part.from_uri(
+            uri='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID',
+            mime_type='video/mp4'
+        )
+    ]
+)
+```
+
+### Inline Video (<20MB)
+
+```python
+with open('short-clip.mp4', 'rb') as f:
+    video_bytes = f.read()
+
+response = client.models.generate_content(
+    model='gemini-2.5-flash',
+    contents=[
+        'What happens in this video?',
+        types.Part.from_bytes(data=video_bytes, mime_type='video/mp4')
+    ]
+)
+```
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Video Clipping
+
+```python
+# Analyze specific time range
+response = client.models.generate_content(
+    model='gemini-2.5-flash',

+        types.Part.from_video_metadata(
+            file_uri=myfile.uri,
+            start_offset='40s',
+            end_offset='80s'
+        )
+    ]
+)
+```
+
+### Custom Frame Rate
+
+```python
+# Lower FPS for static content (saves tokens)
+response = client.models.generate_content(
+    model='gemini-2.5-flash',
+    contents=[
+        'Analyze this presentation',
+        types.Part.from_video_metadata(
+            file_uri=myfile.uri,
+            fps=0.5  # Sample every 2 seconds
+        )
+    ]
+)
+
+# Higher FPS for fast-moving content
+response = client.models.generate_content(
+    model='gemini-2.5-flash',
+    contents=[
+        'Analyze rapid movements in this sports video',
+        types.Part.from_video_metadata(
+            file_uri=myfile.uri,
+            fps=5  # Sample 5 times per second
+        )
+    ]
+)
+```
+
+### Multiple Videos (2.5+)
+
+```python
+video1 = client.files.upload(file='demo1.mp4')
+video2 = client.files.upload(file='demo2.mp4')
+
+# Wait for processing
+for video in [video1, video2]:
+    while video.state.name == 'PROCESSING':
+        time.sleep(1)
+        video = client.files.get(name=video.name)
+
+response = client.models.generate_content(
+    model='gemini-2.5-pro',
+    contents=[
+        'Compare these two product demos. Which explains features better?',
+        video1,

+)
+```
+
+## YouTube Specific Features
+
+### Public Video Requirements
+
+- Video must be public (not private or unlisted)
+- No age-restricted content
+- Valid video ID required
+
+### Usage Example
+
+```python
+# YouTube URL
+youtube_uri = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ'
+
+response = client.models.generate_content(
+    model='gemini-2.5-flash',
+    contents=[
+        'Create chapter markers with timestamps',
+        types.Part.from_uri(uri=youtube_uri, mime_type='video/mp4')
+    ]
+)
+```
+
+### Rate Limits
+
+- **Free tier**: 8 hours of YouTube video per day
+- **Paid tier**: No length-based limits
+- Public videos only
+
+## Token Calculation
+
+Video tokens depend on resolution and FPS:
+
+**Default resolution** (~300 tokens/second):
+- 1 minute = 18,000 tokens
+- 10 minutes = 180,000 tokens
+- 1 hour = 1,080,000 tokens
+
+**Low resolution** (~100 tokens/second):
+- 1 minute = 6,000 tokens
+- 10 minutes = 60,000 tokens
+- 1 hour = 360,000 tokens
+
+**Context windows**:
+- 2M tokens ≈ 2 hours (default) or 6 hours (low-res)
+- 1M tokens ≈ 1 hour (default) or 3 hours (low-res)
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### File Management
+
+1. Use File API for videos >20MB (most videos)
+2. Wait for ACTIVE state before analysis
+3. Files auto-delete after 48 hours
+4. Clean up manually:
+   ```python
+   client.files.delete(name=myfile.name)
+   ```
+
+### Optimization Strategies
+
+**Reduce token usage**:
+- Process specific segments using start/end offsets
+- Use lower FPS for static content
+- Use low-resolution mode for long videos
+- Split very long videos into chunks
+
+**Improve accuracy**:
+- Provide context in prompts
+- Use higher FPS for fast-moving content
+- Use Pro model for complex analysis
+- Be specific about what to extract
+
+### Prompt Engineering
+
+**Effective prompts**:
+- "Summarize key points with timestamps in MM:SS format"
+- "Identify all scene changes and describe each scene"
+- "Extract action items mentioned with timestamps"
+- "Compare these two videos on: X, Y, Z criteria"
+
+**Structured output**:
+```python
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+from typing import List
+
+class VideoEvent(BaseModel):
+    timestamp: str  # MM:SS format
+    description: str
+    category: str
+
+class VideoAnalysis(BaseModel):
+    summary: str
+    events: List[VideoEvent]
+    duration: str
+
+response = client.models.generate_content(
+    model='gemini-2.5-flash',
+    contents=['Analyze this video', myfile],
+    config=genai.types.GenerateContentConfig(
+        response_mime_type='application/json',
+        response_schema=VideoAnalysis
+    )
+)
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+```python
+import time
+
+def upload_and_process_video(file_path, max_wait=300):
+    """Upload video and wait for processing"""
+    myfile = client.files.upload(file=file_path)
+
+    elapsed = 0
+    while myfile.state.name == 'PROCESSING' and elapsed < max_wait:
+        time.sleep(5)
+        myfile = client.files.get(name=myfile.name)
+        elapsed += 5
+
+    if myfile.state.name == 'FAILED':
+        raise ValueError(f'Video processing failed: {myfile.state.name}')
+
+    if myfile.state.name == 'PROCESSING':
+        raise TimeoutError(f'Processing timeout after {max_wait}s')
+
+    return myfile
+```
+
+## Cost Optimization
+
+**Token costs** (Gemini 2.5 Flash at $1/1M):
+- 1 minute video (default): 18,000 tokens = $0.018
+- 10 minute video: 180,000 tokens = $0.18
+- 1 hour video: 1,080,000 tokens = $1.08
+
+**Strategies**:
+- Use video clipping for specific segments
+- Lower FPS for static content
+- Use low-resolution mode for long videos
+- Batch related queries on same video
+- Use context caching for repeated queries
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Maximum 6 hours (low-res) or 2 hours (default)
+- YouTube videos must be public
+- No live streaming analysis
+- Files expire after 48 hours
+- Processing time varies by video length
+- No real-time processing
+- Limited to 10 videos per request (2.5+)
