Show HN: Turn long videos into short videos (boltfoundry.com)

5 points by randall ↗ HN
Hey! I've been working with some friends on Bolt Foundry, a tool to help people upload long videos and download short clips to share on social platforms.

It's free to use for transcription, and you can preview the clips it generates.

Looks useful and your landing page is a great example to show the power of the product.

I can see how YouTubers will be able to create multiple shorts from their videos using a tool like this one.

Awesome. Thanks!!! Any other thoughts?

This looks neat!

I assume it’s using WASM for browser based web encoding? Is local encoding always guaranteed to be faster or could some internet connections be fast enough that an upload would beat out the client side encoding depending on device capabilities?

Automatic captioning and clipping based on transcripts are great features.

Based on the title, I thought it was some AI that automatically shortens the videos with no human intervention (e.g. summarizes it).
