What you get for $49 once
- Full repurposing pipeline. Download → transcribe → remove captions → rewrite script → re-voice → reassemble, run automatically or one step at a time.
- Four caption-removal modes. From fast blur/crop to a scene-rebuild mode that regenerates clean frames so the original captions never exist in the output.
- Local or cloud engines. Groq Whisper or a fully local GPU transcriber, no rate limits; ElevenLabs or a free local cloned TTS voice.
- Bulk & batch mode. Scan an entire creator's profile or page, bulk-download, and run the whole batch unattended — resumable if interrupted.
- YouTube Clipper. Turn one long video into several short, viral-scored vertical clips with burned-in captions.
- No renewal, ever. The license does not expire and there is no per-seat meter — $49 is the whole price.
Pricing questions
Do I need API keys?
A free Groq API key covers transcription and script rewrite. ElevenLabs is optional — there's a free local cloned voice built in for re-voicing with zero API calls.
Can it process a whole creator's page, not just one video?
Yes — paste a profile or page URL to scan and bulk-download every video, then run the whole batch through the pipeline unattended.
What happens to the original captions?
Removed. Four modes are available, from a fast blur to a scene-rebuild mode that regenerates each scene from a clean background so the original captions never exist in the output at all.
Is the source code available?
Yes — Clip Pipeline is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/clip-pipeline. Buying the $49 package gets you the built installer; building from source is free.
