I can finally set this partially aside for a little while. v1.0.0 is now available.

Cliparr is a self-hosted media-clipper that runs *mostly * in your browser to quickly and easily create clips from your personal media. Whether it's Jellyfin, Plex, or a local video, you can jump in and quickly export a clip in a variety of file types and resolutions.

To use it, you would do something like:

  • Watch a video on Jellyfin, pause at something funny.
  • Open Cliparr and click "Edit Clip"
  • The clip will begin exactly where you paused. Trim to your desired length.
  • Customize subtitles, if you desire.
  • Click "Export".

Like I shared a week ago, you will then have something like this

Check out the new website and docs at https://cliparr.dev/ The repo is available here: https://github.com/TechSquidTV/Cliparr

I'll shamelessly ask you to please share! I can not post on that other site, try as I might.

I kinda liked posting some random funny snippets of TV shows and movies on the forbidden Lemmy. Maybe I should take that up again now that Cliparr can cut down most of the time it'll take.

Only problem is that I still need the communities that would benefit from such submissions. On Reddit this was mostly on a fan sub for the given TV show, but Lemmy isn't big enough for that (at least I think so).

Does this have the ability to compress clips to a target size for say something like Discord?

[–] TechSquidTV@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Right now it just has a resolution toggle but I have been thinking of adding a quality target like we do with screenshots. A file size target is a bit more complicated but technically possible. I think a lot of apps would likely slap a "social media target". I think we could do something similar.

Why does this need to be a hosted service/web app? Why can't it just be a regular-ass application?

Message recieved. It is now an 90gb electron app.

.... Because Plex and Jellyfin are web based... And it's for them.
