The review page: a queue of two videos and four finished vertical clips, each with its own player, title, hashtags and an Approve button.

The review page runs on your own machine, at a local address. It is the only place a clip can be approved from.

What it does

Finds the moments

The stream is transcribed on your own machine, then read end to end to find the handful of moments that stand on their own: a setup, a payoff, no dead air at either edge.

Cuts on sentences

Every clip starts and ends on a sentence boundary taken from the transcript, not on a round number of seconds, so a clip never opens mid word.

Builds the vertical

One 1080 x 1920 render: the frame recentred for a phone, word by word captions burned in, a title card over the first seconds, audio levelled to broadcast loudness.

Waits for you

Nothing is published on its own. Each clip sits in a review page on your machine with its own player, and you approve or discard it one at a time.

Five steps, one of them yours

  1. 01

    Paste a link

    A YouTube or Kick VOD, optionally just the part you care about: from 48:00 to 1:28:00 downloads and processes that stretch only.

  2. 02

    Transcribe

    Speech to text runs locally on the processor. Names you list in the profile are fed in as hints so they are spelled the way you spell them.

  3. 03

    Select

    The transcript is read in chunks and the strongest moments come back with a quoted first line, a quoted last line and a reason. Quotes are matched back to the transcript, so the times are the speech, not a guess.

  4. 04

    Render

    Each clip is built from a render spec: crop, captions, title card, zoom on the payoff, loudness. The spec is a file, so the same clip always renders the same way.

  5. 05

    Review and post

    You watch each clip, fix a title if you want, and press Approve. Only then does anything leave your machine, and only to your own connected accounts.

The same five steps, with screenshots

What it asks of your TikTok account

You connect your own account once, through TikTok's own login page. DidYouClipThat never sees your password, and the permissions it asks for are the three it actually uses.

user.info.basic

To show which account is connected in the review page, and to read whether the account is allowed to post publicly.

video.upload

To send the approved mp4 file to TikTok.

video.publish

To post that upload to the connected account with the caption shown in the review page.

The access token stays on your computer

It is written to a file in the program's own folder and refreshed from there. There is no DidYouClipThat server, no account to create and no copy of your videos anywhere except on your machine and, once you approve a clip, on your own TikTok account. You can revoke the connection at any time from TikTok's own settings, or by deleting that file.

What comes out

Two frames from clips the tool produced, at the moment the title card is still on screen. Vertical, captioned, ready to post.

A vertical clip with a white title card reading Never put this in your kid's hands, and a word by word caption near the bottom.
A second vertical clip with a title card reading Cancel culture is dead and this proves it, over two people talking in a kitchen.
