Your clips stop
where the thought does.
CBRIN mines your own video archive for clip-worthy moments — and it cuts on sentence boundaries, so a setup never gets severed from its payoff. Your footage never leaves your machine. No credits. No upload. No queue.
Founding price for the first 50. $79 at launch. Ships in 8 weeks — full refund if it slips, no questions.
…so I told him the whole thing was a setup and he completely—
…so I told him the whole thing was a setup and he completely lost it.
The clip ends. The sentence doesn't.
You point an auto-clipper at a two-hour stream and get back thirty vertical videos. Several of them stop halfway through the sentence that made the moment worth clipping. The joke has a setup and no punchline. The story has a build and no landing.
So you open the editor and re-trim by hand — which is the job you were trying to avoid. Meanwhile the other hundred and ninety hours of archive stay unmined, because going through them costs either your evenings or a per-minute processing bill.
How it works
Point it at your archive
A folder of VODs, or a single file. It runs on your machine — nothing is uploaded and there is no queue to wait in.
It transcribes locally
Speech-to-text runs on your own GPU, producing a sentence-level index of everything you've said, searchable in plain language.
Clips land on real boundaries
Candidate cuts are built from sentence boundaries and their dependencies, so a clip can't start after the setup or end before the payoff.
Local-first, on purpose
- Your footage stays on your disk. Nothing is uploaded to anyone's server — which is the only way this works for unreleased or NDA'd material.
- No credits, no per-minute meter. The compute is yours, so a 200-hour backlog costs the same as a 20-minute one: nothing.
- No upload queue. You're not waiting behind other people's jobs to see your own clips.
- Batch the whole backlog. Point it at a folder and walk away — the thing a metered cloud service structurally can't offer.
Opus Clip lists $15/mo Starter and $29/mo Pro — about $348 a year at the Pro tier, metered by credits.
CBRIN is planned as a one-time license. You don't need it to win at everything — only to not cut your punchline, and to not charge you by the minute.
What it doesn't do
This matters more than the feature list. If any of these is a dealbreaker, better to know now than after you've paid.
- It doesn't post anywhere. No account connections, no scheduling. Clips come out as files.
- It doesn't invent timestamps. Every time you see is derived from the transcript, not generated by a model.
- It doesn't score your virality. No "87% viral potential." Ranking signals are named and inspectable, or they're not shown.
- It doesn't run without a decent GPU. That's the cost of keeping your footage local.
- It isn't released yet. There is no download link on this page because there is no build to download. A pre-order is a bet on an 8-week ship date, refundable in full if that date slips.
Pre-order, stated plainly
$79 one-time at launch. No subscription, no credits, no per-minute meter. If a hosted version ever exists it will be a separate product — this one runs on your machine.
- What you're buying
- A licence for the desktop app, valid for life. Not a subscription, not early access to a beta you then re-buy.
- When it ships
- 8 weeks from purchase. You'll get an email either way — including if the answer is that it isn't ready.
- If it slips
- Full refund, no questions, no form to fill in. Just reply and say so.
- If it never ships
- Full refund. This is pre-release software from one person; that outcome is possible and you should price it in.
