How averygan/reclip works

Input enters through the web interface, where users paste one or more video URLs and choose MP4 or MP3 output. The Python backend receives the request and uses yt-dlp to fetch video information, thumbnails, and media. ffmpeg supports audio extraction and media conversion. The frontend presents available quality or resolution choices and provides individual or bulk download actions. The repository is organized in the root module, which contains the six project files. The reclip.sh entry point starts the application, while the Dockerfile defines a container-based way to run it.
