用知识蒸馏选出视频关键帧，高效提升生成质量。

Video-language models can process only a limited number of frames, making frame selection a key bottleneck for efficient video captioning. Most captioning pipelines still rely on uniform sampling, which is computationally cheap but agnostic to visual content. Adaptive frame sampling selects the most informative frames from a video, but existing methods remain computationally expensive. We introduce PEEK, an efficient dynamic frame sampling method that distills caption-conditioned frame relevance rankings from a stronger teacher model into a lightweight temporal model that operates only on visual content. On ActivityNet Captions and MSR-VTT, PEEK outperforms state-of-the-art methods across all evaluated downstream vision language models, obtaining the best CIDEr for most frame budgets, especially when only one or two frames are selected, winning 14 out of 16 configurations on ActivityNet Captions. Zero-shot on MSR-VTT, it transfers best at low frame budgets, while results at four and eight frames are more mixed as temporal coverage and visual diversity become increasingly competitive. Compared with recent adaptive baselines, PEEK is both more accurate in the low-budget regime and more efficient: it adds only $5.2\%$ to the captioning time, compared with $65.4\%$ for CSTA and $211.9\%$ for MaxInfo.
