Clip Pipeline for YouTubers: The Opus Clip replacement you buy once

The Opus Clip replacement you buy once.

YouTubers pay monthly for screen recording, captions, clipping and scheduling before the channel earns a cent. One-time tools fix the cost of production at the price of a single video's ad revenue.

The tool this job usually means renting is Opus Clip, at $19-119/mo — roughly $480 a year, every year. Clip Pipeline does the job for a one-time $49 — running locally on your own machine.
