feat(clips): Wave 2 — smarter clip selection pipeline - #48
Conversation
…ability
B2 — TextTiling topic segmentation with SBERT similarity
- New `packages/transcript/src/topics.ts`: TextTiling algorithm using
`all-MiniLM-L6-v2` (22MB quantized ONNX via @huggingface/transformers)
- Block similarity, depth-score valley detection, Gaussian smoothing
- Graceful fallback to single segment if model unavailable or content too short
- Large segments recursively split at deepest internal valley, never fixed offset
C5 — topic-coherent chunking (replaces fixed 20-min Wave 1 stopgap)
- `selectClips` now accepts `TopicSegment[]` from B2; groups topics into
context-sized LLM calls so no candidate sits in the lost-in-the-middle zone
- Falls back to fixed chunks when segmentation returns ≤1 segment
- `ipc.ts` calls `segmentTopics` before `selectClips`, logs segment count
B7/B8/B10 — local signals injected as prompt metadata (no model needed)
- Speech-rate delta vs 5-sentence rolling baseline → {fast} / {slow}
- Hook markers (question, number, superlative, reveal, contrarian) → {hook}
- Filler-word density >15% → {filler:high}
- System prompt updated to explain tag semantics
C2 — listwise ranking stability via shuffled second pass + Borda count
- After generation, candidates are shuffled and re-ranked in a second LLM call
- Borda merge (sum of rank positions) from both passes → stable top-clips order
- Tail-rank rule: unmentioned candidates in pass 2 get rank N (not silently rewarded)
- Falls back to original order if re-rank call fails
C7 — IoU-based deduplication (verified present, no behaviour change)
Build: onnxruntime-node added to rollup externals and electron-builder
files/asarUnpack alongside better-sqlite3
Wave 2 completion:
B4 — measureArousal() in ffmpeg package emits per-second RMS (dBFS) via
ffmpeg astats with 8kHz resample, written to a temp file and parsed into
a number[]. Returns [] on any failure so the signal is always optional.
B6 — buildAnnotatedPrompt() now tracks inter-sentence gaps and emits
{burst} when a sentence follows a >800ms silence — signals a deliberate
pause-before-reveal pattern, a strong clip start anchor.
B4 in prompt — {loud} tag fires when a sentence's mean RMS is >3dB above
the rolling baseline, surfacing emotional peaks to the LLM without raw
numbers. arousalPerSec threads through selectClips → selectFromChunk →
buildAnnotatedPrompt. Measurement runs after topic segmentation in the
analysis pipeline.
D7 — exportClip() accepts removeSegments. subtractSegments() (now
exported) computes keep intervals; multi-interval clips route through
exportEpisode for trim+concat. The export:clips handler queries all
project segments, computes clip-scoped intervals, and remaps subtitle
word timestamps via the existing remapWordsToEpisodeTimeline helper so
captions stay aligned after filler/silence removal.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds topic segmentation and audio-arousal analysis to clip selection. It adds multi-pass ranking, segment-aware exports with subtitle remapping, native inference packaging, and updated planning and tests. ChangesClip detection and export pipeline
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new arousal-based tagging can misclassify loudness peaks because audio may produce multiple RMS samples per second instead of one, and failure paths may leak temporary files or leave ffmpeg pipes unread. These are bounded but concrete correctness and runtime risks that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Clean up the temporary file on every path, and make the name unique.
Three defects in the process handling:
finish(false)resolves without removingtmp. On a non-zero exit or on timeout the file stays in the temp directory for every processed video.Date.now()is not unique. Two concurrentmeasureArousalcalls in the same millisecond share one path and corrupt each other's output.- Nothing reads
stdoutorstderr.spawnpipes both by default. If ffmpeg writes enough diagnostics to fill the pipe buffer, the process blocks until the 5-minute timeout kills it.

💡 Result:
The requested FFmpeg audio filter options are described below: asetnsamples Filter This filter sets the number of samples per output audio frame. - n (or nb_out_samples): Sets the number of samples per channel for each output frame (default is 1024) [1][2]. - p (or pad): If set to 1 (default), the filter pads the final audio frame with zeros to ensure it matches the sample count of previous frames [1][2]. aresample Filter The aresample filter is used for resampling audio and handling timestamp-based adjustments [3][4]. It does not have a "pad" parameter in the same sense as asetnsamples; rather, its behavior regarding silence or trimming is controlled by the underlying libswresample library options, such as using first_pts to handle padding or trimming at the start of a stream [5]. astats Filter This filter measures audio statistics and includes a reset parameter. - reset: Sets the number of frames (or specific sample counts, depending on implementation/usage context) over which cumulative statistics are calculated before being reset [6][7]. Setting this allows for periodic reporting of statistics, such as emitting a fresh snapshot every second [8]. Note: Ensure you consult the documentation specific to your installed version of FFmpeg, as filter parameters and behaviors can evolve across releases [2][6].

💡 Result:
In FFmpeg, the primary option to set the audio sampling rate for an output file is -ar [1][2]. This is an audio-specific option that, when applied, sets the audio sampling frequency in Hz [1][3]. Usage example: ffmpeg -i input.wav -ar 44100 output.wav Additionally, if you need more precise control over audio resampling (such as using specific resamplers or quality settings), you can use the aresample audio filter with the -af option [4]. For example, -af aresample=48000 specifies a sampling rate of 48 kHz using the audio filter chain [4].

site:ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html asetnsamples aresample astats reset FFmpeg filters documentation
💡 Result:
According to the official FFmpeg documentation, the asetnsamples, aresample, and astats filters perform the following functions, though none of these filters feature a reset parameter: asetnsamples This filter sets the number of samples per output audio frame. It is used to adjust the framing of the audio stream. aresample This filter resamples the input audio to a specified sample rate, sample format, or channel layout. It is commonly used for converting audio to match specific requirements of an output file or device. astats This filter calculates and displays various statistics about the audio stream, such as DC offset, minimum and maximum levels, peak levels, and RMS levels. It does not contain a reset parameter to clear or restart its statistical calculations during execution. If you are looking for reset functionality in FFmpeg filters, it is generally not a standard parameter across these audio filters [1][2].

Resample before creating RMS frames.
-ar 8000 sets the output stream rate, not the rate consumed by the preceding audio filters. A 48 kHz source therefore produces six 8,000-sample frames per second, and astats emits six RMS values per second. Add aresample=8000 before asetnsamples to preserve the per-second {loud} array contract.
