              burns in word-synced captions and writes the titles.

          <h2>For creators doing it all themselves</h2>
          <p class="mission">
            <strong>Our mission:</strong> Clips Kitty is a free, open-source AI video editor
            built to help small streamers and creators turn their long-form videos and
            livestreams into short-form content without hiring an editor or spending hours
            editing footage themselves.
          </p>
          <p class="section-lead">
            If you are growing a channel, you are probably the one filming it, streaming it,
            editing it and posting it. Clipping is how people find you, and it is usually the
            first thing that gets dropped. An editor is a cost most channels cannot
            justify yet, clipping tools charge for every video, and cutting them by hand
            takes a day you needed for something else. So the clips do not get made.
          </p>
          <p class="section-lead">
            That is the reason this exists. Clips Kitty runs on your own computer, so it
            costs nothing to use: no subscription, no credits, no charge per clip, no
            limit on how many you make. If you have a PC and something worth posting, you
            can promote your channel without paying anyone, me included.
          </p>
          <p class="note">
            Clipping tools like Opus Clip charge a monthly fee or a price per video. Clips
            Kitty does not charge anything. It runs on the computer you already own.
            Whether you are just starting out or already growing, the clips should not be
            the thing you have to pay for. Here is the
            <a href="opus-clip-alternative.html">full Opus Clip comparison</a>, prices and
            all.

          <h2>How it works</h2>
          <p class="section-lead">
            Every step that makes the clip runs on your PC unless you choose otherwise:
            OpenRouter, signed in with your own account, can run the AI or the
            transcription when your PC is too old, and posting sends the finished clips.
            Otherwise the only thing that touches the network in a normal run is
            downloading the video you asked for.

            <li>
              <strong>People on camera, talking.</strong> IRL, just chatting, podcasts,
              vlogs, interviews. This is what the clip-picking and the framing are tuned
              for, and it's what gets tested on real streams before anything ships.
            </li>
            <li>
              <strong>Game streams and reaction videos.</strong> Gaming / Reaction puts the
              streamer's webcam and the game together in one of eleven layouts, picked on
              the video's own frames, and scores the in-game moments and the reactions to
              them. Characters <em>inside the game</em> aren't taken for the streamer.

            <li>
              <strong>Soccer matches.</strong> Tick Sports and a match's goals, saves and
              cards become clips, found from the score box, the crowd and the commentary.
              Club or phone footage has no score box or commentary, so its goals come from
              the match events you give it. Basketball and cricket are next.
            </li>
            <li class="weak">
              <strong>VTubers aren't supported.</strong> The framing looks for a real
              person on camera; with an avatar, the game fills the screen instead.
            </li>
            <li class="weak">
              <strong>Reaction videos raise a copyright question.</strong> Re-uploading

          <h2>Getting started</h2>
          <p class="section-lead">
            Download <code>ClipsKitty-Web-Setup.exe</code> and run it. A setup wizard takes it
            from there. It checks your computer and downloads an AI model sized to your
            graphics card.
          </p>
          <p>
            Prefer a terminal? <code>winget install ColinGPT9.ClipsKitty</code> installs the
            same thing.
          </p>
          <div class="note">
            <strong>What the installer does and doesn't carry.</strong> It brings the app, the
            whole AI engine, every library it needs, FFmpeg, the local AI runtime and all the
            detection and transcription weights. No Python, no PATH, no terminal, and nothing
            else for you to install. The one thing it fetches on first launch is the language
            model: those are licensed to whoever downloads them, so it can't be handed to you
            in a box. The setup wizard starts that itself and shows a progress bar, so you'll
            want an internet connection the first time you run it. After that it works
            offline.

            <strong>Clips Kitty is in alpha.</strong> It works and it's used daily, but you
            will find rough edges. There's a <strong>Feedback</strong> button inside the app
            for reporting them. It needs no account and attaches the details automatically.
            The installer isn't
            code-signed yet, so Windows will warn the first time you run it: choose
            <em>More info → Run anyway</em>.
