Who it is forA developer setting up a shared clipping box for a small content team.
The problemMatching Python, MediaPipe and ffmpeg versions on every laptop is fragile.
The outcomeA containerized AutoClip that the team can reach from a browser.
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
- Clone the repo with
git clone https://github.com/artbyjazi/autoclip.git - Start it with
docker compose -f docker/compose.yaml up --build - On an NVIDIA machine use
docker compose -f docker/compose.yaml --profile gpu up --build - Open the UI and run a test clip
Prompt for your agent
Bring up artbyjazi/autoclip with `docker compose -f docker/compose.yaml --profile gpu up --build` on <host>, clip one short test video, and confirm the export finished and the GPU was used for transcription.
Caveat. Transcription works on CPU but the README says a GPU speeds it up several-fold.
