Journey fit
Clip repurposing is a distribution motion: you already have a video asset and need launch-ready shorts for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Short-form export and webhook callbacks align with launch → distribution, not backend integration or ship security.
How it compares
Video clipping API via MCP, not a browser automation skill or generic ffmpeg script.
