You filmed 12 minutes of B-roll in Bali. Three weeks later it's still on the SD card.
Footage piles up because editing one reel takes four hours and you have real client work waiting. Meanwhile a competitor with worse footage posts daily and books the calls. I build a pipeline that turns raw clips into a week of reels in under two hours — silence-cut, caption, B-roll, end card, voice EQ, done. Failed at video editing in 2020. Burned two months on Adobe Premiere. The pipeline is what finally worked.
What we build
A nine-stage reel pipeline you can run yourself
Silence-cut and clip-pick
Auto-strip the pauses, Whisper transcribes the speech, Gemini scores hooks for stoppability. You get three banger clips per 10 minutes of raw footage.
9:16 reframe with push-in
MediaPipe detects faces, keeps you centred, ffmpeg adds a 4 percent push-in over the duration. No more weird crops where your forehead leaves the frame.
Pop-karaoke captions
Word-by-word reveal, brand colour highlight on impact words, drop shadow, 4px stroke. ASS subtitle format so you can re-style across the whole batch in seconds.
B-roll cards from AI prompts
Gemini reads the transcript, picks topic-relevant B-roll moments, Pollinations Flux generates the still, ffmpeg overlays with a 0.25-0.8s fade.
Voice EQ + BGM duck + SFX
Six-stage EQ chain, music ducks 8dB under speech, impact, pop, and ding sound effects punch the cuts. Loudness normalised to broadcast spec.
End card with handle and hook
Thumbnail title for 0.2-3.5s, end card with your @handle, episode counter, and a CTA to follow. Generated from one config file you control.
Process
Footage in Monday, batch out Friday
Discover
Watch your last 10 reels, listen to your voice, pull your brand colours. Build a config file with caption colours, BGM library, end-card layout.
Day 1—2Design
Lock the look on a single test clip. You approve caption font, colour highlight, music level, end-card geometry before we scale.
Day 3Ship
Pipeline runs in your environment (local or VPS). First batch processed with us on a screen-share to catch edge cases.
Day 4—7Hand-off
Loom walkthroughs, one-command runner, troubleshooting runbook, 14-day fix window.

Can you make me a faceless AI avatar?
Do I need a fancy camera?
Can I run it without a GPU?
What about copyright on music?
Can my team edit clips after the pipeline runs?
Stop letting your SD card hold your channel hostage.
Send one 60-second clip. We'll send back a reel built with this pipeline so you can judge the look.
