Features

Cookies, queues, subtitles, export presets — kept on one desk instead of four.

Files stay local unless you turn on cloud AI (BYOK supported).

Four everyday flows

Built-in browser, cookies stay yours.

Subtitle editor

Timeline + translation in one view.

9:16 reformat

Horizontal to vertical, safe zone tweakable.

Team library

Tags, filters, audit trail.

Creators

It is 9 a.m. You have three tabs open: a sponsor brief, a reference clip, and the channel you need to pull before noon. You do not want to export cookies into a terminal again.

Built-in browser for login-aware capture

Pull sources the way a real viewer sees them, including age-gated or subscriber-only flows.

Use the embedded browser on YouTube, TikTok, Bilibili, X, Instagram, and Facebook without exporting fragile cookie jars by hand.
Reuse authenticated sessions across tabs so a single sign-in feeds both exploration and the downloader queue.
Switch User-Agent presets (desktop, mobile, custom) when a site serves different renditions per device class.

Multi-tab workspace with shared cookies

Keep research, reference clips, and capture targets in one docked surface.

Open several tabs without losing isolation between client projects.
Promote a tab’s URL straight into batch download with inherited cookies where policy allows.
Private mode boundaries stay explicit so editors do not leak drafts across accounts.

Batch downloads that respect your machine

Queue dozens of links, pause, resume, and retry without babysitting terminals.

Multi-worker throughput controls keep livestreams and screen recording stable on the same workstation.
Automatic retries with backoff for flaky hotel Wi-Fi or VPN blips.
Per-job logs you can paste into vendor tickets when a CDN edge misbehaves.

Format selector with honest quality labels

See codecs, bitrates, and container tradeoffs before you commit disk space.

Compare progressive vs adaptive stacks when both exist.
Keep separate audio languages when the platform exposes them.
Export proxies for offline review while masters stay lossless on NAS.

Cloud AI subtitles with BYOK or bundled credits

Generate speech-to-text across 30+ languages without shipping raw audio to random extensions.

Route through a server-managed OpenAI-compatible provider so finance keeps a single AI vendor DPA.
Use bundled credits when you want predictable invoices instead of token math.
Human-edit SRT, VTT, and ASS with timing tools that respect frame boundaries.

Reformat, clip, and publish-ready exports

Move from horizontal masters to vertical Shorts without rebuilding timelines elsewhere.

Smart crop presets for 16:9 → 9:16, 1:1, and 4:5 with subject-aware framing heuristics.
Hard subtitle burn-in with style presets so TikTok and Reels look intentional, not patched.
Thumbnail extraction, chapter markers, and AI outline drafts to speed packaging.

AI Video Studio: storyboard to finished sequence

Turn one creative brief into editable shots, direct downloads, and a longer local composition.

Smart breakdown proposes scenes, prompts, references, and continuity notes before any points are spent.
Generate multiple 4–15 second shots, then reorder, trim, add audio/subtitles, and export locally.
Creator points make output capacity predictable without exposing provider model or per-second billing details.

Operators

Monday is a wall of CSVs and "did this file land?" pings. Your job is to keep ingest boring: same tags, same hashes, same answers when finance asks what the AI bill was for.

Throughput and concurrency guardrails

Throttle workers so nightly batches never starve daytime Zoom calls.

Cap simultaneous encodes while leaving headroom for NLE previews.
Pin golden outputs when engines upgrade so regressions surface in minutes.
Hash outputs before archive upload to satisfy compliance checklists.

Media library with tags, search, and filters

Give distributed teams a shared catalog without forcing everyone into a heavyweight MAM.

Tag by campaign, channel, or risk tier for faster handoffs.
Filter by codec, resolution, or ingest date when executives ask for receipts.
Team includes shared libraries with seat-aware permissions.

Policy-aware defaults

Reduce “oops” uploads with presets that honor platform safe zones.

Preset safe margins per destination to avoid accidental overscan crops.
Watermark and attribution reminders on exports destined for public social.
Dry-run packaging flows before anything hits a CMS connector.

Thin installer, engines on first launch

Ship a small binary; fetch yt-dlp and ffmpeg after acceptance checks.

IT teams review a minimal footprint before wider rollout.
Versioned engine downloads make upgrades reproducible across pods.
Offline cache directory stays configurable for air-gapped variants.

Device binding that matches how teams buy software

Honest Free / Pro / Team tiers with clear device counts instead of opaque “activations”.

Free tier caps daily downloads and resolution so pilots stay predictable.
Pro expands to three devices with unlimited pulls and 4K-class sources where licensed.
Team pools devices per seat with priority support lanes for revenue-critical weeks.

Observability-friendly logs

Surface failure clusters with copy-ready diagnostics.

Structured download errors for quick triage in Slack ops channels.
Separate AI job transcripts when auditors ask what left the perimeter.
Exportable CSV summaries for finance when reconciling cloud AI usage.

Movers

A channel dropped forty Shorts overnight and legal wants a mirror by lunch. You are not here to hero-edit; you are here to queue, trim, and hand editors something consistent.

Playlist ingestion with provenance

Explode channels into rows without losing the parent URL paper trail.

Skip duplicates automatically when channels spam hourly Shorts.
Resume partial files after VPN drops instead of restarting from byte zero.
Keep chapter markers when the platform exposes them for downstream editors.

Clip cutter with smart no-reencode paths

Set precise in/out points on long mirrors without waiting for another full transcode.

Prefer stream-copy cuts when GOP boundaries allow.
Fall back to lightweight re-encode only when containers disagree.
Batch apply the same window list across sibling files.

Normalization for editing houses

Transcode to house formats with predictable loudness targets.

Strip platform color metadata when it confuses Resolve or Premiere pipelines.
Generate lightweight proxies alongside mezzanine masters.
Optional watermark overlays for staging cuts.

Subtitle and dub pack exports

Package captions and burnt-in variants for regional mirrors in one pass.

Auto-translate to 30+ languages with glossary hooks for sensitive names.
Export ASS with styles intact for fansub workflows that still demand polish.
VTT and SRT sidecars for players that refuse embedded subs.

Rate limits that match mover reality

Queue hundreds of jobs without tripping naive per-link throttles.

Per-domain backoff tuned for short-form CDNs.
Worker pools sized for M-series laptops and modest Windows towers alike.
Pause entire groups when legal asks for a temporary hold.

Translators

You bill by the hour. Typing timestamps pays zero of them. You still need clean audio, readable drafts, and a way to prove which line shipped when a client panics.

Glossary-first machine translation

Keep brand voice consistent when you translate dozens of caption tracks weekly.

BYOK connectors preserve existing vendor agreements and data residency.
Lock forbidden translations for regulated industries.
Export bilingual review packs for LQA vendors without retyping timing.

Timing fidelity tools

Snap edits to frame-accurate boundaries for 23.976, 25 fps, and mixed cadence masters.

Highlight lines that exceed reading speed after localization.
Detect overlapping speakers before you merge WebVTT for streaming.
Preserve forced narrative tracks separately from full SDH.

Human-in-the-loop AI subtitles

Speech-to-text becomes a first draft, not a black box.

Cloud STT across 30+ languages with confidence highlights.
Editable timelines with keyboard-first nudging for dense anime or panel shows.
Bundled credits when clients refuse BYOK paperwork.

Burn-in and sidecar parity

Deliver both client-ready MP4s and textless masters without duplicate projects.

Style presets for hard subs that survive aggressive social compression.
SCC and VTT targets for broadcast and OTT handoffs.
ASS style sheets for fansub teams who still care about typography.

Competitive edge vs naked yt-dlp

Keep CLI power where you want it, but add the UX and AI layers translators actually bill for.

No more duct-taping cookies, browsers, and translation spreadsheets.
Single updater for engines and UI so freelancers stay current.
Team libraries that do not require teaching every contractor how to use Git.
