AI Agent workflows

Connect your assistant first. In each request, say which library to use, what you need, and whether changes are allowed. If you omit the library, tools use the library currently open in ClipSeek.

Find a shot

Search the current ClipSeek library for rainy city videos at night. Show the five best matches with previews and filenames. Do not change anything.

You can add concrete requirements: “blue tones,” “landscape,” “at least 1920×1080,” or “only in the Campaign folder.” A video can match at several timestamps; ask for distinct videos if that is what you need.

Locate dialogue

Search the current ClipSeek library's subtitles for “welcome home”. List each matching video, the dialogue, and its start and end time. Do not change anything.

Subtitle search finds written dialogue in indexed subtitles. Import the subtitles and build their index in ClipSeek first; the assistant does not generate subtitles or build the index. See Subtitle search.

For one video:

Read this video's imported subtitles and summarize the main points with timestamps. Read all pages before summarizing.

Reading an imported subtitle track does not require a search index. A video without imported subtitles returns an empty track.

Shortlist before organizing

First review the candidates:

Find warm, close-up cooking footage in the current library. Preview the results and recommend no more than six. Wait for my selection before organizing or importing anything.

After choosing, enable Settings → AI Agent → Allow organization and imports, then ask:

Put the selected assets in a folder named “Recipe launch” and add the tags “food” and “warm”. Show the planned changes and ask me before applying them.

ClipSeek does not show its own confirmation for each tool call. Use your assistant's approval settings if you want it to ask before changes. Folder assignments do not move files on disk.

Import a local folder

Import supported media from /absolute/path/approved-folder into the “Campaign” folder in ClipSeek. Wait until the import finishes, then report the successful, skipped duplicate, and failed counts.

Replace the example with an absolute path on the computer running ClipSeek. Importing needs the extra permission and copies accepted media into the library. The queued count is only the number accepted for processing.

Prepare an image or clip

Create a 1200×630 WebP image from this asset. Crop it to fill the size. Keep the original unchanged.

Create an MP4 clip from 12.5 seconds to 18 seconds of this video. Wait until it is ready and provide the download.

These tools create temporary files without changing the original and do not need organization/import permission. Images support JPEG, PNG, or WebP; clips use H.264 video with AAC audio when present. The MCP clip tool does not offer subtitle burn-in or subtitle-file export; use the desktop clip workflow for those options.

Let background tasks finish

Imports, image variants, and clips run in the background. Ask the assistant to wait for the final result before reporting success. An import may partly succeed even when the task reports a failure.

Download links normally expire after 10 minutes. If a link expires, ask for a new one. Keep ClipSeek running, and do not use these links as permanent or shared file addresses.
