"Clipping," the practice of cutting up a creator's content, adding captions, and reposting it across social media, is quietly becoming a massiverindustry.
Brands are now paying armies of everyday people to flood social feeds with their content.

I published my first engineering case study today.
It breaks down how I built the AI clipping system behind ByteCap’s Magic Clips.
What looks like “upload a long video and get short clips” ended up being a pretty interesting engineering problem.
I wrote about how I approached:
• finding and ranking moments across long videos
• combining transcripts, audio, scene changes and visual signals
• face and person tracking for automatic 9:16 reframing
• moving computer vision workloads from Google Video Intelligence to self hosted infrastructure as costs grew
• handling FFmpeg jobs, concurrency, cancellation and failures in production
• turning the final result into an editable video project
I’ve spent years building software, but I haven’t done a great job of writing about the engineering behind it.
I’m going to change that and publish more of these.

Nothing kills trust faster than hiding the cancel button behind support emails or retention flows. At Bytecap, it’s one click. If you want to leave, you should be able to leave.
Clipping GTA 6 content is about to become one of the biggest opportunities on the internet.
Millions of hours will be streamed and uploaded.
The creators who automate clipping first will have a massive head start.
