Find a YouTube clip

search finds the passage. transcript with start and end returns the lines around it with second offsets, which give the cut points. The program returns a YouTube link that opens at the start, the start and end seconds, and an embed that plays that span.

Run each program with arcmira_execute_read; arcmira_describe has the method reference.

When to use

Use Arcmira when the user asks:

• find the clip where someone says a thing, with start and end seconds
• a link that opens the video at that second, or an embed of the moment
• cut points for a video editor or an edit decision list
• a quote with its moment, to cite or to review before cutting

Pick the entity the user meant

Users give names; filters take ids only (ent_..., UC..., 11-character video ids), and a name where an id belongs throws id_required.
