<h1>What running it locally actually means</h1>
<p class="lead">
Most clipping tools upload your video to a server and charge a monthly fee. Clips
Studio runs on your own computer instead. Here is what that changes.

<h2>What it asks of you</h2>
<ul class="ticks">
<li>
<strong>A one-time setup.</strong> An installer and a model download, rather than
signing up and pasting a link. The wizard walks through it.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Your own hardware.</strong> A long stream keeps the GPU busy for a while.
It runs in the background, but the computer is doing real work.
</li>
<li>
<strong>A graphics card, ideally.</strong> It runs without one, just slowly. An
NVIDIA GPU makes the biggest difference.

</ul>

<h2>How it finds the good moments</h2>
<p class="section-lead">
A model that fits on a consumer graphics card is smaller than one running in a data
centre. The pipeline is built around that rather than ignoring it.
</p>
<ul class="ticks">
<li>
<strong>Find more candidates.</strong> Audio and visual peaks become clips in
their own right, so laughter and chaos are not missed just because the transcript
reads flat.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Rank, don't grade.</strong> Small models score everything in a narrow
band, so the finalists are compared against each other in one pass. Relative
judgement is far easier than absolute scoring.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Keep the human.</strong> You are going to review clips before posting
anyway. The model only has to get good moments <em>into the shortlist</em>, and you
pick the winners, which is the cheapest quality multiplier there is.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Scale with hardware.</strong> A bigger GPU means a bigger model, one
click, no new subscription.
</li>
</ul>

<h2>Who this is actually for</h2>
<div class="grid">
<div class="card">
<h3>High volume</h3>
<p>
Clipping several long streams a week, where metered plans get expensive fast.
</p>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>Sensitive footage</h3>
<p>
Unreleased videos, sponsor reads, anything you would rather not hand to a third
party.
</p>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>People who like owning things</h3>
<p>
If the idea of tuning the scoring prompt yourself sounds good rather than
exhausting, you are in the right place.
