Unveiling CLIP's Next-Generation Video Production Infrastructure

CLIP Inc. (headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo), led by CEO Shinji Yamamoto, has officially embarked on the development of a fully automated video production system designed to streamline the entire process of creating cut-out videos with artificial intelligence. This groundbreaking advancement in technology aims to automate every step, from scene extraction and editing to subtitle generation and content posting. The goal is to establish a 24/7, fully unmanned operation that can produce an endless supply of cut-out videos.

Addressing Production Bottlenecks

As the demand for cut-out videos has surged, challenges including the need for a large number of videos monthly and immediate deployment have become evident. Issues such as securing editing personnel, controlling costs, and maintaining speed can hinder production flow.

CLIP has already achieved significant milestones, like the “Three-Minute Production” method and a target of producing 10,000 videos a month. However, the company has decided to evolve further by transitioning to a completely automated production process that eliminates the reliance on human input.

Key Features of the Fully Automated Production System

The system aims to automate all of the following steps with AI technology:

• - Automated Scene Extraction: The AI analyzes speech, emotions, and moments of excitement to identify scenes that are likely to attract viewer interest.
• - Automated Editing and Optimization: The system generates optimal durations, compositions, and subtitles tailored for various platforms.
• - Automated Output: It automatically produces content formatted for different uses, from vertical and horizontal videos to specialized titles and posting material.

The Future of Video Distribution

The fully automated system will change the landscape of video content creation, bringing immense value to audio-visual materials. This setup allows for:

• - Real-Time Dissemination: Live programs, events, or sports broadcasts can be instantly converted into cut-out videos and shared immediately.
• - Cross-Domain Applications: This technology can expand its reach across entertainment IPs, advertising, politics, and regional revitalization efforts, applied to all sectors where CLIP operates.
• - Transformation of Industry Structures: Video editing will shift from requiring individual skills to being generated programmatically through automated infrastructure.

Development Timeline

The implementation of this system will occur in phases, ultimately aiming toward establishing a “fully automated production line.”

• - Phase 1: Implementation of a semi-automated production line.
• - Phase 2: Specialization in automation for certain programs and events.
• - Final Phase: Establishment of a fully unmanned production infrastructure capable of producing hundreds of thousands of videos monthly.

A Vision for the Future

Shinji Yamamoto, CEO of CLIP, shares insights about this transition:

“Cut-out videos have historically been viewed as products of human effort. However, the future lies in those that are continuously generated automatically. Our fully automated production challenges the very notion of video creation, aiming to evolve cut-out videos into a societal infrastructure. CLIP aspires to elevate the entire landscape of video distribution.”
