AI clipping studio

One podcast in.
A week of clips out.

Claudevid transcribes your long videos, finds the moments people actually share, renders them as vertical clips with captions, templates and music — and posts them to every platform on schedule.

How it works

From link to published in three moves

01

Drop a link or a file

YouTube, Twitch VODs, webinars, raw uploads up to 4 hours. We pull the source at up to 1080p and probe it in seconds.

02

Audio-first analysis

We extract a tiny 16 kHz audio track, transcribe it, score every sentence locally (energy, hooks, pace) and make one compact AI pass to pick the winners. No frame-by-frame vision models burning money.

03

Render & publish everywhere

ffmpeg renders each clip with animated captions, your template and ducked background music. Connect YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X once — then publish or schedule in one click.

Templates

Five looks. Zero editing.

Every template is rendered server-side in a single ffmpeg pass — no browser rendering, no watermarked previews that lie to you.

Engineering

Cheap on purpose. Fast by design.

Most clipping tools push entire videos through vision models. Claudevid doesn't. The pipeline is built to spend as close to zero AI tokens as possible:

  • Audio, not frames

    A 2-hour video becomes a ~14 MB mono Opus file before anything touches an AI model.

  • Local pre-scoring

    Loudness peaks, hook keywords, speech pace and questions are computed on-device for $0.00.

  • One compact AI pass

    Only the top ~55% of transcript lines, with integer timestamps, in a single call that returns every clip at once.

  • Heuristic fallback

    No API key? The local analyzer still finds strong moments — zero tokens, zero cost.

FAQ

Do I need my own AI API keys?+

For the hosted version, no — analysis is included in your plan. Self-hosting? Bring a Groq or OpenAI key, or run whisper.cpp locally and pay nothing.

Which platforms can Claudevid post to?+

YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels and X. Scheduling is supported everywhere; TikTok requires an audited app for public posts.

How long does a video take to process?+

Transcription runs about 100x realtime and each clip renders in seconds on our workers. A 1-hour podcast usually delivers clips in under 5 minutes.

Do clips have a watermark?+

Free plan clips carry a small claudevid.com mark. Creator and Agency plans render clean 1080×1920 files.
