FAQ

Common questions

What is Lucy Repurpose?
An AI clip studio: upload one long-form video and Lucy transcribes it, lets Claude pick the most viral moments with reasoning, and produces per-platform captions, subtitles, reframed clips, and a scheduling queue.
Do I need my own API keys?
Yes. Lucy runs on your Anthropic (Claude), Deepgram, and Cloudflare R2 accounts. You add them in Settings; they're encrypted at rest and never shown again. This keeps your data and costs under your control.
What does it cost to use Lucy?
Lucy's plans (Free, Starter, Pro, Agency, or pay-as-you-go) cap how many minutes you can process per month. On top of that you pay your own providers (Anthropic/Deepgram/R2) for usage. Billing is handled through Stripe.
What video formats and lengths work?
Common formats like MP4, MOV, and MKV. Long-form is the sweet spot — podcasts, webinars, interviews, and talks from a few minutes to a few hours.
Where is my video stored?
In your own Cloudflare R2 bucket. Lucy reads from and writes clips back to storage you own — it never holds your media on shared infrastructure.
Does Lucy actually cut the clips, or just give timestamps?
Both. By default you get ranked timestamps + captions. Turn on clip extraction (FFmpeg) and Lucy also cuts each clip, can burn in subtitles, and renders 9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9 variants.
Does it post to social automatically?
You can connect channels and schedule clips with captions today. Live auto-publishing to each platform activates once you connect that platform's account via OAuth — until then the queue simulates posting so you can plan.
Can my whole team use it?
Yes. Create a workspace, invite members with owner/admin/member roles, and apply white-label branding. The workspace switcher scopes everyone's projects and analytics to that team.

Troubleshooting

When something looks off

“Upload failed” or nothing happens
The backend may not be running, or storage isn't configured. Make sure the API is up and your Cloudflare R2 keys are set in Settings.
A banner says some integration keys aren't set
Add your Anthropic, Deepgram, and R2 keys in Settings. Until they're present, the pipeline can't transcribe or analyze real video.
“Clip media not extracted yet” on download
Clip cutting is gated behind ENABLE_CLIP_EXTRACTION and needs FFmpeg. With it off you still get timestamps, captions, and subtitle files — just not the rendered .mp4.
Checkout returns an error
Billing needs valid Stripe keys and plan price IDs in Settings → Payments. Until those are set, plan buttons stay hidden and checkout returns 503.
I can't see my older projects
Check the workspace switcher (top-right). If a workspace is selected, the Library and Analytics show only that workspace's work — switch back to Personal to see your own.

Still stuck?

Check that your providers are configured, then head back to the studio. New to the product? The About page explains the bigger picture.
