How this service works

Find and cut a single clip from a media URL matching a natural-language query.

Output

Returns a public mp4 URL of the extracted clip, the start and end timestamps within the source media, the transcript text covered by the clip, a one-sentence LLM explanation of why that moment was chosen, and cache status flags for the clip, source, and transcript.

Example use cases

Example prompt

“Can you clip the part where she says 'I don't have online' from this YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK-ZRxeJIiU — keep it under 30 seconds?”

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://ytclip.modestpika.box.ca/clip?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Use this endpoint when you need to extract a single specific moment from a media file based on a natural language description. It is ideal when the source is a YouTube video, podcast, Twitch VOD, or direct mp4 and you want a ready-to-use mp4 clip URL back. Prefer this over general video download tools when semantic search over the transcript is needed to locate the right moment, and over the multi-source stitch endpoint when you only need one clip from one source.

Side effects

Media URL is inaccessible or not supported by yt-dlp — returns an error
Query does not match any identifiable moment in the transcript — no clip returned
Clip exceeds max_clip_seconds and is center-trimmed, potentially cutting off context
Transcription fails for non-speech or low-quality audio
Source media is too long or large, causing timeout
Network error fetching the remote media URL

Input

{
  "query": "the chorus section",
  "media_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
