How it works

From a two-hour episode to a folder of clips

Every step runs in your browser tab, using your computer's own processor and graphics card. Here's what happens at each one.

  1. 01

    Import without uploading

    Your file is opened straight from your disk, so even a multi-gigabyte episode works smoothly. Nothing is copied to a server.

    Transcribe every word

    Kairell recognises the spoken language and writes a full transcript, timed to every word, right on your computer.

    Find the moments worth clipping

    Kairell finds the segments that open strong and stand on their own, and gives each clip a suggested title.

    Frame and caption

    The vertical crop follows whoever is talking, and captions appear word by word in the style you pick.

    Render and save

    Clips are rendered with your computer's own hardware and saved straight to a folder you choose.
