Does the clipping agent add captions and vertical crops?
Not on its own. The clipping agent finds, trims and stitches the moments, then delivers horizontal clips and a report to Google Drive. Captions, 9:16 vertical layouts, b-roll and motion graphics come from the second part, the Claude edit workflow. When you want finished vertical posts from long streams, the two are designed to run in sequence, with the clips going through both. Nothing posts automatically: you review and post.
How long does it take to get running?
Plan on about six weeks for both parts, with test clips from your own footage in the first few. Most of that time is tuning: we run the agent on your past streams and adjust its profile until the picks match yours. In one measured run on a 4-hour-52-minute stream, transcription, clip finding and cutting 10 clips took about 7 minutes combined.
What if it picks the wrong moments?
You tell us, and the profile changes. Each clip comes with a report showing its hook, key quote and score, so a weak pick is easy to spot and explain. You can also add a plain-English request to any job, such as every moment where you fact-check someone live, and the agent searches for that instead.
Is my footage kept private?
Yes, within the few services the pipeline needs. Your footage moves only between a Drive folder you control, the clipping agent's cloud worker, the machine that renders your edits, and the transcription and Claude APIs. Nothing is published anywhere: finished files go back to your folder, and posting stays in your hands. Nothing is processed that you didn't submit.
Who owns the clips, the projects and the code?
You do. Clips and reports land in your own Google Drive. Edit projects and scripts are kept, so you can change a word or a number and re-render without rebuilding the video. The clipping agent is built so it can run on cloud accounts in your name, with its code and configuration handed over to you.
What do you need from me to get the video agent running?
Footage and a little judgment. For the clipping agent: a few past streams and examples of clips that did well. For the edit workflow: your raw clips, your website so we can match colors and fonts, and anything you can't say or show for legal or compliance reasons. After that, a short review of the first batch of clips.
