PodReel is an AI-powered podcast-to-short-form-clips pipeline. A user uploads a podcast video; the system stores it, transcribes it, uses an LLM to find "viral-worthy" moments, auto-reframes each clip around the active speaker, renders it with animated word-level captions and serves you a clean, ready-to-upload video file tailored for short-form platforms like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube shorts.

Could you build this?

Partial Transcription, LLM clip selection, and caption rendering are all wrappable, but reliable speaker-tracking auto-reframe and a scalable video rendering pipeline are real engineering problems.

What it would actually take: The stack would be a job queue (e.g., Celery or Temporal) feeding Whisper-class transcription, an LLM for moment selection, and an ffmpeg/GPU render farm. The hard parts are the computer-vision face/speaker tracking for reframing and rendering throughput and cost at scale. That requires someone comfortable with video pipelines and GPU infrastructure, not just prompting.
