Find with evidence.
Smart finding uses permitted metadata, captions, and sampled frames. It retains evidence and uncertainty alongside proposed cuts.
Outtake
Find the moment. Make it yours.
Start with a scene you remember. Find it in your local video, review the proposed cut, and shape a clip, GIF, or still worth keeping.
How it works
From a remembered scene to a finished cut.
Bring the clue and the source collection. Your agent helps find the exchange and opens it for review.
Describe what you remember.
Start with a title, a line, an action, or a scene. Choose the source folders the tool may inspect.
Review and shape the moment.
Check the proposed cut, adjust its boundaries, and loop the selected range. Keep source captions or add your own timed text.
Export and return.
Save MP4, GIF, or PNG with a sharing preset. Reopen a retained result when you want another version; original media stays unchanged.
Made for real work
A workspace for the remembered detail.
Make the cut precise.
Trim with two handles, place the playhead, and preview rendered edits. Captions and timed text stay part of the editing flow.
Keep your outputs together.
Saved Outputs gathers exports for downloading and reopening. Earlier exports and original media remain available.
Get started
Bring it to
your agent.
Start with the outcome you want. Your agent can install the tool and use its help to carry out the work.
A starting prompt
Use Outtake to help me find a scene in my local video collection. Read outtake --help, help me choose the permitted folders, and narrow the moment from my description. Open the proposed cut so I can trim and export it.
Help your agent can use.
Amplifier Smart Tools provide help in skill format: instructions your agent can read to understand capabilities, inputs, and how to use the tool. Ask your agent to read --help before getting started.
Terminal
uv tool install "outtake[smart] @ git+https://github.com/robotdad/amplifier-smart-tool-outtake" outtake --help
Python 3.12+, Git, uv, and FFmpeg with FFprobe. Source video must be locally accessible, including through a mounted share.
Smart finding needs its own configured vision-capable model. Explicit cuts, previews, exports, and caption handling work locally without a model.
Part of the same family
Keep making.
Each tool stands on its own. Explore the others when your work takes you there.
