## What is Clip Cradle?

Clip Cradle is a local-first production desk for short-form video, demos, tutorials, and client clips. Turn a brief into timed story beats, keep take decisions tied to each shot, and keep continuity and media rights visible before delivery.

BUILD A PRODUCTION PLAN

- Capture audience, objective, viewer promise, due date, runtime, and delivery profile.
- Arrange opening, context, demonstration, proof, and closing beats with exact durations.
- Set reusable vertical, square, or landscape delivery profiles and safe-area guidance.

TRACK THE SHOOT

- Log every take as unreviewed, keep, alternate, or reject.
- Attach file references and continuity notes to the beat they belong to.
- Record music, footage, photo, typeface, voice, and other rights items with source and clearance status.

CHECK COVERAGE

- Review factual findings for missing shots, runtime overruns, unresolved takes, continuity gaps, and open rights.
- No invented quality score or opaque recommendation engine.

EXPORT AND BACK UP

- Create PDF, text, CSV, or JSON production packets.
- Share a complete JSON studio backup and restore by merge or replace.
- Keep projects on device. No account, analytics, advertising, subscription, or cloud backend.

Clip Cradle does not record video, publish to social networks, or supply copyrighted media. You are responsible for media rights and final delivery requirements.

**Caption Studio**
Captions do real work on short-form, so Clip Cradle now scores them the way it already scores hooks. Type or paste a caption and get a live 0–100 read on the four things that matter most — a first line that stays above the "more" fold, one clear call-to-action, a question that invites comments, and a sensible number of hashtags — with a verdict and specific tips. Twelve fill-in caption structures across four families are bundled to get you started.

**Posting Cadence**
A simple, honest view of your week. Set a weekly target, and Clip Cradle turns the due dates already on your clip plans into a by-weekday chart, tells you how many you have planned in the next seven days, flags the gap days, and points out when everything is bunched onto one day.

**Backup and restore**
Save every clip plan as a single JSON file you can AirDrop, keep in iCloud Drive, or move to a new phone. Restoring merges the file back in — matching plans are updated and new ones are added, so nothing gets lost.

Everything still runs fully offline: no account, no tracking, no subscription.

### 1.2 — 2026-06-17

What's New - Clip Cradle 1.2

Clip Cradle 1.2 turns the planner into a real short-form production toolkit.

Hook Studio
Write a scroll-stopping opener. Browse 18 proven hook structures across six families (Contrarian, Mistake, List, Question, Result, Direct Address), each with a fill-in template, a worked example, and why it works. Type or paste your own hook and get a live 0-100 score on four signals - tight length, curiosity, direct address, and a concrete number - with a verdict and specific tips.

Delivery Reference
A bundled, offline reference for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts: aspect ratio, resolution, max length, and max file size, plus each platform's on-screen safe zone - the top, bottom, and side UI bands in pixels and percent - with a scaled 9:16 preview of the clear band where your hook and captions stay visible.

Platform fit check
Set a target platform and a planned length on any clip plan. Clip Cradle instantly shows which platforms can hold it and which it overflows, and warns you when a clip is too long for the platform you picked.

Production-sheet PDF
Export any clip plan as a clean US-Letter PDF - brief, numbered shot list, delivery block with safe-zone margins, and a delivery checklist - ready to share or print.

Everything stays fully offline: no account, no tracking, no subscription.
