rip and clip

Every card you pull, priced and sounded.

Drop a pack-opening clip. Rip and Clip finds each reveal, looks up what the card is worth, and hands the clip back with a price banner and a sound effect on every pull — small pop for a bulk common, full jackpot cascade for the chase.

The video never leaves your computer. Everything but the detection step runs in this tab.

How it works

  1. You drop a clip. It stays on your machine. This tab makes a low-res (360–480p), two-frames-a-second copy of it — a few megabytes, silent unless you opt in to sending audio.
  2. Only that copy is sent to a model that watches it and reports each card reveal with a timestamp.
  3. Prices resolve in your browser, straight from Scryfall and pokemontcg.io, in pounds, dollars or euros — your pick.
  4. You fix what it got wrong — names, prices, foils, the lot.
  5. Your browser renders the final video from the original full-quality file, banners and sounds burned in.

What leaves your computer

One thing: the compressed low-res copy, sent to the detection step. Not the original file, not the audio (it is stripped before sending, unless you tick "send audio too"), not the finished render, and not the list of what you pulled. If a detected name matches no real card, a couple of full-resolution stills from that moment are sent up to re-read it — stills the detection step already saw at lower resolution. There are no accounts and nothing is stored server-side.

The site counts five anonymous events — a visit, a file dropped, a successful detection, a finished render, an email left — with no identifier attached to any of them, so I can tell whether this is worth building properly.

About me

Hi, I’m Sam. My journey into Magic: The Gathering started out of a simple need: I wanted to find good deals on preconstructed decks — precons — for my friends.

So I built a scraping tool to hunt down the best pricing, and that turned into buying stock in bulk from US and German suppliers and selling it on individually at MTG Precons, where I specialise in the harder-to-find decks — Warhammer 40k, Commander Masters, the ones that vanish from shelves. The goal has always been the same: a simple, straightforward way for MTG players to get quality decks without breaking the bank.

These days I also run the rip and ships myself — live on eBay, boxes going down on camera, a room full of people watching to see whose slot the chase lands in. It is the best fun in this hobby. What it also is, is hours of footage: a good stream runs two hours and the moments actually worth posting add up to about ninety seconds of it.

So every stream ended the same way. Sit down with the recording, scrub back to each decent pull, look the card up to remember what it was worth, cut it, caption it, drop a sound on it, export — then do that another forty times. By the time the clips were ready to post, the stream they came from was two days stale. Most nights I just did not bother, which meant the best thing I had for getting people to the next stream never got made.

Rip and Clip is me refusing to spend another evening on that. Hand it the footage, get the pulls back priced, sounded and ready to post. Same instinct as the scraper: I would rather build the thing once than keep doing the boring part by hand.

Built by one person who opens packs on camera, for people who open packs on camera. If it breaks or you want something added, tell me — I’m the one reading it.
