Overview
About This Skill
SmartClip is a web application that enables users to paste a YouTube link, select a specific start and end time, and either download the clipped segment or receive an AI-generated explanation of its content. The platform uses yt-dlp and FFmpeg to extract and trim video segments, then sends them to Google Gemini for natural-language summaries. Clipped videos are hosted on Cloudinary for fast delivery. The React-based frontend provides client-side validation and in-browser playback, while the Node.js/Express backend with MongoDB manages clip metadata and user requests. This skill solves the problem of manually scrubbing through long videos—researchers, educators, and marketing professionals can now isolate key moments and understand them instantly without watching entire videos.
How to Use
Clone the repository, then configure your Google Gemini API key and Cloudinary credentials. The frontend accepts YouTube URLs—paste a link, select your desired time range, and choose to download the clip or request an AI explanation. The backend processes the video using yt-dlp and FFmpeg, stores metadata in MongoDB, and delivers results via the REST API.
Use Cases
Extract key moments from educational videos for teaching materials
Clip conference talks or webinars for social media marketing
Generate summaries of product demos or tutorial segments
