Hipclip

Hipclip has a lot of potential, and I love the idea of using AI to streamline video editing. It’s off to a great start with helpful features like filler word removal and transcription editing. However, the app struggles with basic, high-demand tasks like removing silences from a 1-hour podcast or meeting. When trying to remove pauses from longer videos, the platform becomes unresponsive, repeatedly prompting the "Wait" button in Chrome. This not only disrupts the workflow but makes it nearly impossible to complete edits efficiently.

For Hipclip to truly scale, the team needs to address these devops and performance issues. Moving heavy tasks like silence removal to server-side processing and offering a smoother UX (maybe with a loading screen) would go a long way. Really hoping the founders take these workflow issues seriously, as seamless editing is a standard need for content creators. Looking forward to the next update that can make Hipclip more reliable for professionals!
