Cliphi + Claude Code

Clip videos from
your terminal

Claude Code drives Cliphi for you: it starts the job, watches progress, and hands you clip links where you work.

1Give Claude Code your Cliphi key

Export CLIPHI_API_KEY in your shell once. Keys come from Cliphi Settings.

2Ask for clips from your video

One sentence is enough. Claude Code submits the job and polls it while you keep working.

3Open the previews, pick the winners

You get preview links for every strong moment, then finished clip files for the ones you choose. It asks before each render.

Claude Code questions

No. Cliphi hands back a job id in about two seconds and does the work on its own machines, so Claude Code can check on it between other things you ask for. A long podcast processes while you carry on with the rest of your session.

In your shell environment as CLIPHI_API_KEY, not in a file you commit. Claude Code reads it from the environment it is already running in, so the key never has to appear in your repository, your prompts or your terminal history.

Yes. Give a start and end time when you submit and Cliphi only processes that stretch, which is the usual move for a three-hour stream where you already know the good section is in the last forty minutes.

Links. Every moment gets a preview link you can open immediately, and the ones you choose come back as finished clip URLs you can download or hand to whatever you are building next.

Clip without leaving your terminal

One key, one sentence, and Claude Code handles the rest while you keep working.
