Clipify Video Clip Generator

Skill by ara.so — Devtools Skills collection.

Clipify is a Claude Code skill that automatically turns long-form videos into social-ready clips. It transcribes video, identifies clip-worthy moments, reframes 16:9 to 9:16 with face-tracking pans, and burns opus-style word-by-word captions.

Key capabilities:

• Auto-detect punchlines, reversals, and awkward pauses via Whisper transcription
• Face-tracking pan for 9:16 vertical clips (no ML models — uses motion energy)
• Opus/karaoke/minimal subtitle styles with word-level highlighting
• Hardware-accelerated rendering (VideoToolbox on macOS)
• ~20s render time for 20s clips on Apple Silicon
