The challenge
Hours of footage. Seconds of attention.
Short-form platforms reward tight, high-impact clips — but finding them in long recordings by hand is slow, repetitive work.
Clipperzz automates the search: transcribe the video, score the moments, generate the clips.
The approach
Three services, one job each.
- 01
Web app
A React app with three faces: a public landing page, a dashboard for creators and an admin panel.
- 02
REST API
An Express API that owns accounts and money — auth, clips, processing jobs, subscriptions and payments.
- 03
Model service
A dedicated AI/ML service for the heavy lifting: video transcription, clip scoring and generation.
The work
Three surfaces.
Interactive
Follow a video through the system.
Select a step, or use the arrow keys.
A creator pastes a video link or uploads a file. The API checks who they are and opens a processing job.
The job is handed to the model service, which transcribes the video.
The model service scores candidate moments to find the strongest clips.
Clips are generated from the top-scoring moments and handed back to the API.
The API stores the clips and they appear in the creator's dashboard. Subscriptions and payments run through the same API.
A simplified flow, based on what each service is responsible for.
The outcome
Heavy work, kept separate.
The AI workload runs in its own service, away from the API that handles accounts and payments.
