Stream to Shorts Clipper

Free tools only (yt-dlp, local Whisper, ffmpeg); no paid video tools unless the owner explicitly overrides.

Never publish without explicit approval; local previews come first.

Numbers on screen must come from the stream itself or from the owner's named fact-checker.

Value opinions are framed as the owner's thesis, with no price targets, plus a "Research, not financial advice" tag.

Anything not yet approved or launched is tagged "planned" on screen.

Free or licensed music only; never use "free money" wording.

Shorts that open with a concrete mechanic or number in the first seconds outperform vague intros; long-form videos tend to beat Shorts on views.

Fast 2-3 second reaction-cut pacing is worth copying from top-performing short-form videos.

Use this when turning a creator's own livestream or long video into a batch of fact-checked vertical Shorts ready for review before posting.

Use this when turning long-form or creator footage into Shorts/Reels/TikTok cuts, to handle consent, credit, and publish approval.

Use this when preparing any Short or reel so research on what's working in the niche happens before cutting.

Use this for the first conversation with a new owner of the Shorts clipping bot template, to collect setup details.
