FastClip Releases is where the Windows downloads for a desktop app called FastClip are published. This repository itself does not contain source code, it only hosts the release files and instructions for getting the app. FastClip is a tool for people who cut short vertical clips out of longer videos, the kind of format used on platforms like TikTok or YouTube Shorts. It looks at a long video on your computer, suggests ranked candidate moments that could work well as short clips, and then exports them as 1080 by 1920 vertical MP4 files. It uses a bundled copy of FFmpeg, a widely used video processing tool, to do the actual export work. The current release is version 0.1.0, labeled as an alpha, meaning it is an early and rough version of the app. The README is upfront that you should not rely on it as your only copy of important footage. To install it, you download a ZIP file, extract it, and run FastClip.exe. A checksum is provided so you can verify the download matches what the developer published. Because the Windows build is not code signed, Windows SmartScreen may warn that it comes from an unknown publisher, and the README explains how to proceed past that warning if you trust the source. On privacy, FastClip processes video entirely on your own machine. Your source footage is not uploaded anywhere. The bundled FFmpeg runtime is LGPL compatible, and no Whisper speech recognition model files are included with the download. There is also a paid Pro tier, activated inside the app through Lemon Squeezy, a payment platform. The README is clear that paying for Pro only unlocks extra workflow features and does not change how video is encoded, how privacy works, or whether anything gets sent to the cloud.
