Hi there!

I've been a YouTube content creator during few years (50k subs, ~5M views) and I realized that many creators on the platform have their content stolen and republished on TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts for monetization purposes.

I built PixelForge to tackle this problem. The tool allows content creators to work on their horizontal video as they usually do. But once the video is published, they can quickly generate tiktoks/shorts/reels without having to go through the tedious process of video editing again.

The tool is really new and I originally built it for my own needs. But I'm now looking for ways to improve it.

For example, here are some of the features I'm currently working on:

>> Adapting the tool to handle Twitch to extract vertical videos from long streams

>> A system to select the cropping area of interest in the video instead of just centering

>> Automatically generating text on the video in a "tiktok" way.

I like the original idea, I tried it but I think the 'crops' could be a bit more precise.

looks interesting
