How it actually works

Exactly what it does — and when.

1Paste any YouTube URL — Whisper transcribes the whole video locally.

2--mode ai has Claude WATCH the transcript and pick the genuinely clip-worthy moments (hooks, payoffs, quotable lines) with a reason for each.

3Auto-cuts up to 30 short-form-ready clips with burned-in subtitles.

4Falls back to local hook-detection when no API key — still works, still $0 per clip.

In practice · One long video → a week of shorts

You drop in a 45-minute podcast. It transcribes it, Claude reads the transcript and flags the 12 moments most likely to pop — each with a one-line reason — and you get vertical, captioned clips ready to post. What used to be an afternoon of scrubbing is a single command, on your machine, with zero per-clip fees.

Use it to…

Repurpose podcast episodes

Drop a long interview URL and get up to 30 clips flagged for hooks, payoffs, and quotable lines—each with a reason—ready to cut for Reels or Shorts.

Mine tutorial highlights

Run --mode ai on a how-to video so Claude picks the payoff moments and explains why each segment stands alone as a clip.

Clip with no API key

Process a YouTube URL entirely on your own machine using local hook-detection when you don't have a Claude API key—still zero per-clip fees.

Who it's for

YouTube creators repurposing long-form

They need hook-driven shorts pulled from their own uploads fast, without per-export fees or sending footage to the cloud.

Short-form editors and clip channels

They want up to 30 ready-to-cut moments per source video, each justified, instead of scrubbing hours of footage by hand.

Privacy-conscious operators

They need clip discovery that runs 100% locally, with a no-API-key fallback so it works on any machine.
