ClipForge
Clip long videos on your PC. Nothing uploads.
ClipForge is a Windows desktop app that turns long-form video into short vertical clips without uploading anything. Everything runs locally: Whisper transcribes on your own GPU or CPU, PyAnnote labels speakers, and FFmpeg renders the export. Your source footage never leaves the machine. The ranking is a transparent heuristic, not a black box - each candidate clip shows its score and the reasons behind it, so you can disagree with it before you publish. Free trial: 2 source videos, 5 clip exports, no card required. Windows 10/11 64-bit only.
Features
Local Whisper transcription, no cloud upload
Local PyAnnote speaker labeling

9:16 and 1:1 export with burned-in captions
No watermark at any tier, including free trial
Optional LLM scoring using your own API key
Use Cases
Podcasters clipping episodes for social without uploading raw footage anywhere
Creators who record under NDA or hold unreleased material
Anyone with slow upload speed who can't afford cloud round-trips
Streamers turning long VODs into short highlight clips

Hi Fazier! I built ClipForge because I couldn't find a clip tool that didn't require uploading my source video somewhere first - relevant if you record under NDA, have slow upload speed, or just don't want your footage sitting on someone else's server. Everything runs locally on Windows: Whisper for transcription, PyAnnote for speaker labels, FFmpeg for the render. The ranking is a transparent heuristic, not a black box, so you can see why a clip scored the way it did and disagree with it. It's an unsigned soft launch (Windows shows a SmartScreen warning on first run, explained on the download page), and I'm a solo dev - happy to answer anything about the local pipeline or where it currently falls short.
