Clip

Jalaran Clip derives a vertical, captioned short from an episode you have already rendered, cut around one of that script’s own retention beats.

Who Clip is for

For creators already publishing long-form who want shorts without re-editing anything by hand. Particularly if you write with retention beats, since the hook and the payoff you planned are the moments worth cutting around.

What Clip does

Clip recombines work the pipeline has already done rather than making anything new. Lore recorded where each retention beat sits and what it literally says; Voice embedded a phoneme timeline in the audio it produced; Puppet rendered the frames. Clip finds the beat’s words inside that timeline, pads the moment outward into a watchable window, reframes the footage to a vertical canvas, and burns in captions re-timed to start at zero. There is no model anywhere in it — no new video, no new audio, no new image — which is why it costs nothing but processing time and cannot drift away from the episode it came from.

How Clip works

Pick a rendered episode
Any finished render. Where you have paired one with its script elsewhere, that pairing is offered as a starting point.
Choose a beat
A hook, a turn or a payoff from that script. Its exact words are then located in the audio that was actually voiced.
Let it find the moment
The window grows outward from the beat toward a watchable length, pulled back wherever the episode starts or ends.
Collect the file
A vertical clip with captions already burned in, ready to upload wherever you post it.

What Clip does not do

A beat can only be found if its words are genuinely in the audio. Edit a script after voicing it and that beat stops being locatable — which returns a plain refusal and an offer to pick the moment by hand, because approximate matching would hand back somebody else’s few seconds with nothing to signal it. Audio must carry the timeline it was made with, so a file re-saved through an editor will not work. One vertical format, no platform variants. It writes a file and stops; posting it anywhere is yours to do.

Common questions

Why does it refuse a beat instead of getting close?

Because close is indistinguishable from correct once the clip exists. The words are searched for exactly, and when they are absent the honest outcome is to say so — a near match would produce a perfectly watchable clip of entirely the wrong moment, and nothing in the result would reveal it.

Does anything get regenerated?

Nothing at all. The footage is the footage you rendered, the words are the words that were spoken, the captions come from timings recorded while the audio was made. Processing time is the only cost.

What happens with an episode that has no beats?

You pick the seconds yourself, and that path is shown directly rather than hidden behind a toggle with nothing to toggle from. Everything after that point behaves identically.

Why blurred edges rather than black bars?

Square footage cannot fill a tall frame, so something has to occupy the rest. A softened copy of the same picture keeps attention on the middle, where black bands read as an accident of cropping.
