vid-rip

BY @BAT-AI — 13 DOWNLOADS — CONTENT

Smart yt-dlp wrapper. Download any video (YouTube, TikTok, IG Reels, Twitter/X, SoundCloud, etc) with auto-best-quality format picking. Optional reframe to 9:16 (Reel/Short), 1:1 (square), or 16:9 (landscape) via centered crop. Audio-only mode for sampling. Strips watermarks via cropping when possible. Use when the user pastes a video URL and wants it downloaded, asks to "rip this", "download this video", "save this Reel", "get the audio from", or wants footage prepped for a 9:16 edit.

vid-rip

One command for every social-video grab. Auto-picks best quality, optionally reframes for whatever format you're editing.

Just download

python3 ~/.claude/skills/vid-rip/scripts/rip.py "https://youtu.be/XXX"
# → ./<title>.mp4 at best available quality

Reframe to 9:16 (Reel / Short)

python3 ~/.claude/skills/vid-rip/scripts/rip.py "https://x.com/user/status/123" --reframe 9:16
# → centered crop, scaled to 1080x1920

Other reframes: 1:1 (1080x1080), 16:9 (1920x1080), 4:5 (1080x1350 IG portrait).

Audio only

python3 ~/.claude/skills/vid-rip/scripts/rip.py "https://soundcloud.com/u/track" --audio
# → <title>.mp3 (extracted, 320k)

Or as WAV for sampling:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/vid-rip/scripts/rip.py "<url>" --audio --format wav

Strip TikTok watermark

python3 ~/.claude/skills/vid-rip/scripts/rip.py "https://www.tiktok.com/@u/video/123" --no-watermark
# uses TikTok's no-watermark API path when yt-dlp supports it; falls back to bottom-crop

Trim while you download

python3 ~/.claude/skills/vid-rip/scripts/rip.py "<url>" --start 12 --duration 8
# downloads only seconds 12–20

Output folder

python3 ~/.claude/skills/vid-rip/scripts/rip.py "<url>" --output ~/Downloads/clips/
