How It Works

1

Upload

Drop your video file — MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, or WebM. Up to 5GB per file. No account needed.

2

Detect

Our engine scans every frame for motion spikes, scene changes, and activity peaks. No manual tagging needed.

3

Download

Get a single video with only the highlights, losslessly extracted. Original quality preserved, timestamps included.

What you get back

ClipHarvest returns a single concatenated MP4 file containing only the moments worth watching. You also see:

  • Segment preview — a visual timeline showing exactly which parts of the original were kept
  • Timestamps — start and end time for each extracted clip
  • Compression stats — how many minutes were saved and what percentage of the original was kept
  • Lossless output — exact frames, no re-encode quality loss (fallback re-encode at CRF 18 when needed)
Before
3 hours of raw footage
After
~22 minutes of highlights

Frequently Asked Questions

What video formats are supported?

MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, WebM, TS, and FLV. If you have footage in another container, convert it to MP4 first using a free tool like HandBrake — the original quality will be preserved.

What is the file size limit?

Free tier: videos up to 10 minutes long. Pay-per-use: up to 5GB per file. If your file is larger, split it into segments first or contact support to discuss options.

How long does processing take?

Processing typically takes 1-3x the video duration depending on resolution and detection mode. A 1-hour HD video usually finishes in 30-90 minutes. You can close the browser — if you provide an email, we'll notify you when it's done.

How accurate is the detection?

Accuracy depends heavily on content type. Motion-heavy content (sports, gaming, action scenes) detects very well — typically 90%+ of real highlights are captured. Static or slow-paced content may produce fewer segments. The "auto" mode combines two algorithms for the best general-purpose results.

What happens to my files after processing?

Your uploaded video and the extracted highlights file are automatically deleted 7 days after processing completes. Orphaned files (uploads that never finished) are cleaned up within 24 hours. We do not retain your video data beyond these windows.

How does payment work?

Payment is processed securely by Stripe. We never see or store your card details. You're charged per whole hour of input video (rounded up) immediately before processing begins. A 75-minute video costs $2 (2 hours billed).

What is the refund policy?

If processing completes but no highlights were detected, you get an automatic refund. If processing fails due to a server error, email support@clipharvest.io within 24 hours for a manual refund. See the full Refund Policy.

Can I use ClipHarvest for commercial projects?

Yes. You retain full ownership of your uploaded content and the extracted output. You must have the rights to process the video you upload — do not upload content that belongs to someone else without permission.

How does the detection actually work?

The default "auto" mode combines two algorithms: frame-to-frame motion energy (pixel difference between consecutive frames) and histogram-based scene change detection (measuring color/luminance shifts). Both algorithms self-calibrate thresholds by sampling the video before scanning. Segments with sustained activity above the calibrated threshold are extracted with configurable padding.

Is there an API or batch processing option?

API access is planned as part of the Pro tier (coming soon). In the meantime, contact support@clipharvest.io if you have a high-volume batch use case to discuss options.
