How Mostly's Embedding AI Saves 80% on Video Processing

Traditional AI clipping tools reprocess your entire video every time you want a new clip. Mostly is different.

The Problem with Traditional AI Clipping

Most tools run a linear analysis every time you upload or request edits.

1. Upload Video

2. Wait 15 minutes for transcription & analysis

3. Get clips

4. **Change settings?** -> Wait 15 minutes again. Pay again.

This "pay-per-minute" model punishes iteration.

How Embedding AI Works

Mostly processes your video once and creates **vector embeddings**—mathematical representations of the video's content (visuals, audio, and speech).

1. **Initial processing** - AI analyzes and creates a searchable index.

2. **Instant inference** - Want to find "funny moments"? The AI queries the index, not the video file.

3. **Zero reprocessing cost** - Generate 10 clips or 100 clips. The "hard work" is already done.

Real Results: The Cost of 10 Hours of Footage

Compare the monthly cost for a podcaster processing 4 weekly episodes (approx. 10 hours total):

| Feature | Traditional Tools | Mostly |

| :--- | :--- | :--- |

| **Analysis Cost** | $150+ (approx $15/hr) | $30 (flat rate) |

| **Re-clipping** | Charged as new minutes | **Free** |

| **Search Speed** | N/A (Manual scrubbing) | **Instant (<1s)** |

| **Total Monthly** | **$150+** | **$30** |

Conclusion

Stop paying for the same compute cycles over and over. With embedding AI, your video library becomes a permanent, searchable asset, not just a one-time expense.
