What it does
Give it a long-form video and it transcribes the audio with Whisper, uses an LLM to find the moments most likely to perform, and crops them to 9:16 with the speaker kept in frame - no per-clip credits and no watermark. Setup needs Python and the command line, and you pay for the LLM calls yourself, which scales with video length. Always review what it picked before posting, and check the rights and platform rules if the source video is not yours.
