Built by creators who hated clipping manually
Skapo started with a simple frustration: turning a 2-hour podcast into 20 vertical clips shouldn't take a full day. We built the engine we wished existed.
Mission
Make every long-form video infinitely reusable — automatically, at GPU speed, with quality that doesn't embarrass the creator.
We're not building a clip editor. We're building an engine. One that understands speakers, finds the moments worth clipping, formats them for vertical, adds captions, and ships them — while you focus on the next recording.
How we got here
Problem discovered
Manually clipping a 2-hour podcast into 20 shorts took 6 hours. We decided that was unacceptable.
First GPU pipeline
Built the Modal-powered backend that processes video at scale. First internal version shipped.
Active speaker tracking
Added face-detection-based speaker tracking and split-screen mode for multi-guest podcasts.
Public launch
Opened to agencies and freelance video editors. Three tiers, real pricing, zero watermark upsell tricks.
Scaling the engine
Priority queues, API access, and enterprise volume plans — building the infrastructure that serious workflows demand.
How we build
Speed First
Every second of processing time is a second creators waste waiting. We obsess over render latency and GPU throughput so you don't have to.
Quality Without Compromise
Active speaker tracking, cinematic cuts, auto-captions — done right. We'd rather ship slower and ship sharp than flood you with mediocre clips.
Transparent Roadmap
Our roadmap is public. Our changelog is honest. We build in the open and listen to the people actually using the product daily.
Bootstrapped & Independent
No VC pressure. No growth-at-all-costs. We're self-funded and accountable only to our users — which means we optimize for quality, not metrics.
