Extract keyframes from a video, one still per scene

Give it a direct video file URL and get a JPEG keyframe from the middle of every scene, with the timestamp of each cut. Stills are capped at 40 per video by default and sampled evenly when a video has more scenes. No ffmpeg to install and no API key. This example runs on a short demo clip: $0.01 for the run plus $0.02 per started minute of video.
