AI Clip Producer
Autonomous video capture and editing pipeline that transforms raw gameplay into viral-ready vertical shorts for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels.
The Problem
Creating engaging gaming content for social media platforms is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Content creators spend hours:
-
Manual Spectating & Recording
Watching live matches and manually triggering recording at the right moments
-
Frame-by-Frame Editing
Finding highlight moments, trimming clips, and applying transitions in video editors
-
Platform Optimization
Reformatting for vertical aspect ratios, adding overlays, and syncing audio for each platform
Result: Inconsistent output quality, missed opportunities for viral content, and content creators spending more time editing than creating.
The Solution
Clip Producer is a fully autonomous pipeline that handles the entire content creation workflow—from spectating live matches to publishing platform-optimized clips—with zero manual intervention.
How It Works
1. Spectate
Playwright automation joins live matches and monitors game state
2. Record
FFmpeg captures gameplay with hardware-accelerated encoding
3. Analyze
AI detects scenes, audio peaks, and optimal trim points
4. Edit
Remotion renders with overlays, effects, and voiceover
5. Publish
Auto-upload to YouTube Shorts with metadata
Key Features
AI-Powered Scene Detection
OpenAI analyzes extracted video signals (scene changes, audio peaks, silence periods) to determine optimal trim points and select the most engaging moments.
Dynamic Text Overlays
Automatically generated text overlays with winner names, chip counts, and animated effects (bold, bounce, impact) synchronized to gameplay events.
TTS Voiceover Narration
AI-generated hype commentator narration using local Jetson TTS service. Narration targets casual gamers with sports announcer energy and game context.
FastKoko TTS interface with af_alloy voice generating narration
Platform Optimization
Automatically formats clips for TikTok (1080x1920), YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels with platform-specific metadata, tags, and aspect ratios.
Technology Stack
Built with modern video processing and AI tools for maximum performance and developer experience.
