ClipSourced
A research-grade personal video archive where every saved clip is auto-transcribed, time-stamped, and tagged so podcasters and journalists can pull a quote-ready segment in seconds.
Independent podcast producers and freelance journalists archiving source footage
- Save a video and the AI generates a searchable transcript with speaker labels and topic tags
- Quote-mode export that bundles a 30-second video slice plus the exact transcript line and a one-click citation
- Duplicate detection so the same interview clip across YouTube mirrors collapses to one canonical entry
- Local-first library that syncs to your own cloud bucket (S3, Drive) rather than a vendor lock-in
