Turn a long podcast, interview or talk (YouTube link or local video) into vertical Shorts/Reels/TikToks for $0, as a free, open-source OpusClip alternative with no watermark. Claude picks 20-45 s hook-first moments, local tools jump-cut dead air and track the active speaker (or split-screen two people), and a Remotion composition adds punch zooms, word-synced keyword captions, motion graphics, a cold-open rewind and SFX, then writes ready-to-post titles, captions and tags. Use when the user…
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
# snipshorts Turns a long video into vertical Shorts with only free, local tools. The one exception is the thinking: moment picking, the edit plan and the post copy call a logged-in agent CLI (your subscription, no API key): Claude Code by default, or `SNIPSHORTS_LLM=codex`, `gemini` or any command that reads a prompt on stdin (see `tools/podcast/llm.py`). If you are not Claude Code, set `SNIPSHORTS_LLM` to your own CLI before running the pipeline. Project rules in `AGENTS.md` still apply. > **Always ask first: how many clips?** When the user gives a link or file to clip, ask how many Shorts they want (offer a default from the length, e.g. "5?"). Then pick exactly that many moments and make exactly those. Never choose the count yourself. ## 0. Set up (once per project) snipshorts sits on top of a make-video project. …

How to install
mdr add thenoumandev/zero-dollar-studio/snipshorts@sha256:3e1bcdd2f75942afThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.b4560b7, 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.
