Direct the AI like a producer.

Director Mode lets you tell ClipDocker AI exactly what to look for. Add a line of plain-language notes before you extract, and the AI weighs your direction as it reads the transcript, scores moments and ranks the clips it hands back.

What it is

Your brief, in plain English.

By default the AI picks whatever it judges most viral across the whole video. Director Mode adds your intent on top: a free-text box on the dashboard where you describe the clips you want. There's nothing to configure — write it like you'd brief an editor.

  • One free-text box on the dashboard
  • Read alongside the full transcript
  • Completely optional — leave it blank for fully automatic

How to use it

Three steps, no learning curve.

It lives right in the normal flow. Paste your video, type what you're after, and extract — your notes are applied the moment the AI starts choosing clips.

  • 1 — Paste a YouTube link or upload a file
  • 2 — Type your direction in Director's notes
  • 3 — Hit Extract Clips as usual

What to write

Tell it where to point the camera.

The more specific you are, the closer the results. Aim it at a topic, a tone, a section of the video, or a type of moment — or combine a few.

  • Find the funniest, most clippable moments
  • Only the Q&A — skip the intro and sponsor reads
  • Prioritise emotional or personal stories
  • Hot takes and bold opinions only
  • Anything about pricing, sales or growth
  • Practical, step-by-step advice the viewer can act on

What it changes

Selection, order and titles.

Your notes steer which moments become clips, the order they're ranked in, and the angle of the suggested titles and hooks. Everything about how the clips look — reframing, caption style, fonts, colours — stays under the separate controls right beside it.

  • Which moments get clipped
  • How they're ranked, best-first
  • The slant of titles, hooks & captions

Tips

Getting the most out of it.

Treat it like directing a human editor. Be concrete about what to include and what to leave out, and pair it with your niche and clip-length settings for tighter results.

  • Be specific — name the topic, tone or section
  • Say what to skip, not just what to keep
  • Combine with niche and length for sharper picks
  • Leave it blank any time you want the AI to choose freely
