Credentials. Your provider API key is stored by AutoClip and billed per request, so use a key with a spending limit.
Who it is forA video editor whose local model picks weak moments and who already pays for an API key.
The problemSmall local models can miss the moments that actually make good clips.
The outcomeBetter ranked highlights, with only transcript text sent to the provider and never the video or audio.
What you need first
- Python 3.11 or 3.12 (not 3.13)
- A full ffmpeg build with libass and libx264
- Node 20+ to build the UI
- Ollama for fully local runs, or an Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini or OpenAI-compatible key
Steps
- Install AutoClip and run
autoclip doctor - Store your provider key with
autoclip config set-secret anthropic - Start
autoclip serveand choose the provider in the app - Run the same video again and compare the ranked clips
Prompt for your agent
Configure artbyjazi/autoclip with `autoclip config set-secret anthropic`, re-run highlight detection on <video>, and list the top five clips with timestamps. Verify that no audio or video file was uploaded, only transcript text.
Caveat. Only the transcript text leaves your machine with a hosted provider, so sensitive spoken content still reaches that provider.
