CLI video clipping, hook-first multi-range timelines and skip windows (splice several ranges in any order, cut out bumpers, re-time subtitles without re-transcribing), universal aspect reframing (9:16, 1:1, 4:5), YouTube captions before Whisper transcription, timed transcripts for summarizing a video or YouTube link, kinetic subtitle burning, typography presets, silence trimming, BGM ducking, dependency checks, installation and update workflows using NouClip CLI.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# NouClip — Agentic Video Clipper & Shorts Engine Skill

Operational instructions and procedures for checking prerequisites, installing and updating nouclip, clipping videos, splicing hook-first timelines and skipping bumpers, reframing aspect ratios, reading YouTube captions or transcribing with Whisper, getting timed transcripts to summarize a video, applying typography presets, trimming silence, mixing ducked BGM, and burning kinetic subtitles using the `nouclip` CLI.

## 🛠️ Step 0: Verification & Self-Installation (For Agents)

Before running clipping commands, verify that required host binaries are present on the system.

### 1. Check if `nouclip` is Installed
```bash
nouclip --version
```

If `nouclip` is **not found** (`command not found` or `ENOENT`), install it using one of the following methods:

- **Option A (Package Managers — Recommended & Fastest):**
  Check if `bun`, `npm`, or `pnpm` is available on the machine:
  ```bash
  # Using Bun (Fastest)
  bun add -g nouclip

  # Using npm
  npm install -g nouclip

  # Using pnpm
  pnpm add -g nouclip
  ```

- **Option B (One-Line Standalone Script for Linux & macOS):**
  ```bash
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nouverse/nouclip/nouclip@sha256:a0e9a9293add65a0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.9d3815e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
