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.

One email when it ships, and nothing else. No list-sharing, no tracking on this page. Reply to any message to be removed.

CUT TO A TIME WINDOW

…so I told him the whole thing was a setup and he completely—

Ends mid-sentence. The payoff is in the next second.
CUT ON SENTENCE BOUNDARIES

…so I told him the whole thing was a setup and he completely lost it.

Ends where the thought does.
An illustration of the cutting rule, not a screenshot. Candidate cuts are built from sentence boundaries and their dependencies, so the clip can't end before the payoff.

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

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.
THE MATH

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

$49 founding, first 50

$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.
