The Autonomous Short-Form Pipeline
CutPilot unifies computer vision, acoustic speech recognition, and cloud GPU rendering into an automated video repurposing engine. Here is how our architecture works.
Active Speaker Centering & Subject Tracking
Horizontal video formats (16:9) discard critical focal points when clumsily cropped to vertical (9:16). CutPilot employs neural subject tracking combined with motion-smoothing interpolation. The camera glides dynamically with the active speaker instead of applying jarring jump cuts.
aspect_ratio: "9:16"
tracker: "dynamic_speaker_glider"
smoothing_window: 12 frames
mirror_blur: true
subject_retention: 99.4%
Kinetic Word Alignment & Contextual Visuals
Short-form retention collapses when subtitles are mistimed or monotone. CutPilot generates millisecond-precise acoustic word alignment, scoring viral phrase density to select peak retention segments. Dynamic typographic styling highlights spoken words while automatically burning contextual animated emojis directly into the video stream.
speech_alignment: "acoustic_timestamping"
animation_style: "pop_zoom"
visual_injection: "contextual_emojis"
viral_threshold: > 0.78
Silence Split & Dynamic Diarization
Dead air and verbal pauses reduce swipe rates. The Silence Split algorithm measures audio energy floors to detect speech pauses, generating rhythmic micro-edits. For multi-speaker interviews, conversational diarization isolates guest responses from interviewer cues.
silence_filtering: "adaptive_noise_gate"
min_pause_ms: 450
podcast_split: true
retention_lift: "+34%"
Live SSE Telemetry & State Synchronization
Black-box video rendering causes frustration. CutPilot streams raw compilation logs in real time via Server-Sent Events (SSE). Users view exact step-by-step progress, queue indicators (`QUEUED #X`), audio cues on start/completion, and can cancel jobs while saving partial clips and tracked compute time.
protocol: "Server-Sent Events"
heartbeat_ms: 1000
abort_handling: "graceful_persist"
log_deduplication: active
