}Generate video clips automatically from a text prompt using AI-powered content understanding.
import { connect } from 'videodb';
const conn = connect({ apiKey: 'your_api_key' });
const coll = await conn.getCollection();
const videos = await coll.getVideos();
const video = videos[0];
// Generate clip using prompt
const result = await video.clip(
'Show all the key moments',
'highlights',
'basic'
);
// Result contains clip information with stream URL
console.log(`Clip created: ${result.streamUrl}`);
- Uses AI to identify and extract relevant segments based on prompt
- Content type guides the type of clips to extract (e.g., “highlights”, “summaries”)
- Returns SearchResult object with clip stream URL
- Model name allows selecting different AI models for clip generation
- Clipped video maintains original quality and format
