The data behind that milestone is interesting—not because the number is big, but because a million clips is finally enough signal to answer questions content teams argue about constantly:

How much volume is normal?

What actually gets published where?

And what separates people who ship consistently from people who stall out?

The clearest answer starts with consistency.

Roughly 69% of creators post no more than ten clips in their first year.
Just over 11% cross fifty.

This is not a Minvo-specific pattern. It is the shape of every content tool, every gym membership, and every language app. But because we can see the timing behind each clip, we can be specific about where people stop and what the survivors do differently.

Here’s How Different Creators Have Kept OR Lost Momentum

Cliff 1: One clip and done — 26.9%

The largest single group posted exactly one clip during their first year. This is the evaluation cliff: someone tried the tool, produced something, and never returned.

The failure here is almost never quality. It is that the first clip had no destination and no next step. It was made to see whether it could be made. Once it existed, there was nothing pulling the creator toward a second one.

The act of publishing is what creates the second clip. Publishing produces a response—even a small one—and a response creates a reason to do it again.

Cliff 2: The 2–10 wall — 41.8%

This is the biggest group by far. These creators cleared the first attempt, made a handful more, and then stopped—usually within a few weeks.

This is the inspiration cliff.

Many users started creating clips, but didn’t maintain consistency. Posting a few times a week is the only way to improve your clipping strategy and build reputation with the audience.

Nearly all creators saw very slow growth at the beginning, staying consistent is key.

Cliff 3: The 11–50 plateau — 20.0%

This group built a real habit and then lost it. They usually sustained it for one to three months before their output stalled.

This is the systems cliff.

Everything worked while clipping remained a manual, attention-driven process. Then it collapsed during the first busy week.

There was no fixed slot, no batch, and no queue. The moment the creator’s attention went elsewhere, output fell to zero and never recovered.

The fix: Batching and a queue. Not more discipline.

50+ Clips a Year - What the 11% Actually Do?

The creators who posted more than fifty clips during their first year share observable behaviors in the timestamp data.

1. They treat it as weekday work

80.2% of all clips were created Monday through Friday.

Monday through Thursday are effectively tied. Friday drops, and the weekend falls off a cliff.

Consistent creators are not clipping during stolen evening hours or on Sunday afternoons. They are doing it inside the working week, in a slot that belongs to it.

2. They batch recording and clip creation

The highest-volume accounts show a distinctive pattern: bursts of many clips created in tight succession, followed by quiet periods.

They record several podcasts or videos in a concentrated period, then move into a separate clip-production session and create multiple clips from that source material at once.

This works because recording and clipping require different kinds of attention. Recording demands ideas, energy, and performance. Clip creation demands review, selection, editing, and repetition.

Do not wait until you need a post to start looking for something to publish. Create the inventory first.

3. They keep a queue, so a bad week costs nothing

The plateau at 11–50 clips is what happens when this week’s output depends on this week’s effort.

A queue breaks that link.

Keeping two to three weeks of finished clips ready means a busy week, a sick week, or a holiday costs you nothing publicly. This is the single highest-leverage change available, and it is almost entirely mechanical.

Apply it: During your first two sessions, produce more than you post. Get three weeks ahead. From then on, one weekly session refills what you used.

The Weekly System, in Full

Copy this directly.

Once, to set up — 90 minutes

1. Transcribe your last five pieces of long-form content.

2. Read the transcripts and mark every claim, number, disagreement, and frequently asked question.

3. Choose two platforms: one where your audience already exists and one you want to build.

4. Put a recurring 45-minute block on Tuesday or Wednesday during working hours.

Every week — 45 minutes

1. Minutes 0–20: Select. Read the newest transcript. Mark 8–10 candidate moments. Do not edit.

2. Minutes 20–45: Produce. Cut and caption the strongest moments.

3. Queue. Schedule or store the finished clips. Never post everything you made that week.

Once a quarter — 30 minutes

1. Review which platform actually produced conversations, replies, or customers—not merely views.

2. Adjust your two-platform strategy if the answer is clear. Otherwise, change nothing.

That is the whole system.

It is not clever, and that is the point. The 11% are not doing something sophisticated. They are doing something small on a schedule.

If your bottleneck is finding the valuable moments buried inside hours of long-form content, that is the part Minvo automates: transcripts, moment detection, captions, and clips that are ready to post.

In our previous post, Rebuilding Minvo’s Infrastructure for Velocity, we shared the story behind why we rebuilt the platform that powers Minvo.

This post is the geek technical deep dive for all the geeks out there.

We’ll cover:

• What was slow

• How we rebuilt it

• What changed for developers

• What changed for users

• What this means in the age of AI Agentic Engineering

Architecture: 2022 - 2025

Minvo’s old infrastructure was a federation of Python services, with a couple of Node services on the side.

It worked. It got us far. It helped us serve customers, process videos, generate clips, and build a serious product.

But over time, the pain became predictable and cumulative.

• Latency. A single ingestion passed through three Python services in sequence, compounding server hops, database round trips, queue delays, and serialization overhead.

• Debugging. Five services meant five log destinations, inconsistent context, and no shared trace ID, forcing us to manually stitch failures together.

• Lack of types and structure. Loosely shaped Python dictionaries moved between services, allowing fields to be renamed, omitted, or changed without failing until runtime.

• Service coordination. Adding one transcription field required updating four services and two queues in lockstep, with no compile-time guarantee that every producer and consumer stayed aligned.

The architecture had the classic symptoms of a distributed monolith.

The services were separate enough to create operational overhead, but not independent enough to give us the real benefits of microservices. They shared a database. They shared assumptions. They shared failure modes.

Architecture: 2026 & Beyond 🏎️

In late-2025, Minvo started architecting a path forward. The result is a TypeScript monorepo orchestrated by Turborepo, with three first-class runtimes:

1. Backend

2. API layer

3. Async jobs

Observability sits across all of them.

Backend: NestJS

The backend is built with NestJS and organized strictly by feature modules:

• Videos

• Ingestion

• Transcription

• AI generation

• Async jobs

• Credits

• Feeds

Anything that talks to the outside world — the database, object storage, external media providers, or third-party APIs — lives behind an infrastructure provider and is injected through dependency injection.

Modules consume those providers.

They do not instantiate clients themselves.

That structure made the backend easier to test, easier to reason about, and easier to extend without creating hidden coupling.

API Layer: tRPC

Each module owns its own tRPC router.

Inputs are defined with Zod schemas. Outputs are inferred. The studio imports the backend router as a type-only import and gets a fully typed client without code generation.

This gave us a much tighter frontend-backend contract.

A backend change that breaks the studio is no longer something we discover after deploy. It shows up immediately in the development loop.

Async Jobs: Trigger.dev

Every long-running unit of work is a versioned Trigger.dev task.

Triggering is type-safe from the backend. Retry behavior, machine sizing, and idempotency are configured per task.

This gave us a cleaner boundary between request-response work and long-running media processing.

Observability: OpenTelemetry, Axiom, and Langfuse

We use a single OpenTelemetry SDK initialized once and shared across the backend and workers.

Traces are exported to Axiom.

The same tracing package is used by the Trigger.dev workers, which lets trace context propagate across process boundaries.

For AI-specific telemetry — prompts, responses, model costs, and structured outputs — we use Langfuse, linked back to the OpenTelemetry trace.

That gave us something we had never really had before:

One single connected view from user action to backend request to async job to AI call to object-storage write.

Migration Strategy

A full freeze-and-rewrite was never realistic.

Product work had to continue. Customers still needed improvements. Bugs still needed fixing. The old system still had to run.

So we chose a piece-by-piece migration instead of a big-bang rewrite.

We set up the new monorepo next to the old services and ported one endpoint, workflow, and job at a time.

That gave us three advantages:

1. Ability to continue shipping features: The migration did not require the company to pause.

2. Thorough testing of each migrated path against real production behavior. We were not guessing whether the new system worked; we were gradually proving it.

3. Opportunity to discover better abstractions. Moving one workflow at a time made the repeated patterns obvious.

By the time the core ingestion and clipping paths were migrated, the new architecture had been shaped by the product’s actual behavior, not by an abstract architecture diagram.

Key Decisions

Monorepo vs. Microservices

The old system looked like microservices, but behaved like a distributed monolith.

The services shared a database, shared assumptions, and often had to be deployed in coordinated sequences. We were paying the complexity cost of microservices without getting the independent scaling and ownership benefits.

So we consolidated into a single backend image.

At our current scale, a unified monolith is the right tradeoff. It gives us a better developer experience, simpler deployment, easier testing, and fewer invisible boundaries.

We can split things apart later if the product demands it.

But we no longer pay that tax prematurely.

tRPC: Type Safety Over Loose Flexibility

tRPC commits us to a tightly coupled TypeScript client.

We accepted that tradeoff because the alternative was the system we already had: hand-written clients, duplicated assumptions, and contracts that could drift silently.

After the migration, changes that used to require coordinating several files across multiple repos became single-edit pull requests that the compiler could verify.

That is not just a productivity improvement.

It changes the emotional texture of building.

You move faster because the system tells you when you are wrong.

Observability: The Real Debugging Unlock

The biggest unlock was not adding another logging tool.

It was making trace context cross every boundary.

A studio click generates a W3C trace parent. The frontend sends it. NestJS extracts it and starts the request span as a child. tRPC procedures nest under that span, tagged with the resolved user.

When the handler triggers a Trigger.dev task, we inject the trace context into the payload. The worker continues the trace. AI calls are recorded in Langfuse and linked back to the same request path.

The result is a single flame graph from browser click to final asset write.

Instead of asking, “Where did this fail?” we can now ask, “Which span failed, what inputs did it receive, what did it call, and how long did each step take?”

That changes debugging from archaeology into inspection.

The Result: Video to Clips 5x Faster 🏎️

While we expected Minvo’s new infrastructure to bring performance improvements, nobody on the team expected to be able to create clips 5x faster!

Today, Minvo creates clips from videos up to 1 hour long, in just 60 seconds or less!
That is roughly a 5x improvement in video-to-clips processing time.

The performance gain came from several places:

• Fewer service hops

• Less serialization overhead

• Cleaner async boundaries

• Better control over retry behavior

• Better visibility into bottlenecks

• More precise AI interactions

The largest unlock was visibility.

With Langfuse and Zod in the loop, we could inspect every prompt input, model response, structured output, and failure mode. That let us tighten prompts, reduce waste, and improve AI interactions in ways that were extremely difficult on the old stack.

The old system made AI behavior feel opaque.

The new system made it observable.

Once it was observable, it became optimizable.

Mistakes and Learnings

Our biggest mistake was not treating observability as a day-one concern.

Even inside the new backend, we initially carried over an old instinct:

Add logging where it hurts.

It meant:

• We did not put tracing at every level of the stack from the start

• We did not connect all frontend and backend traces early enough

• We wired OpenTelemetry metrics for system health later than we should have

The cost showed up exactly where expected:

• Debugging sessions took longer than necessary

• Slow regressions were harder to spot

• Some flame graphs had gaps that made them harder to interpret

Most of these issues could have been avoided by spending a day or two on instrumentation up front.

The silver lining is that the new infrastructure made retrofitting observability surprisingly painless.

Because everything lives in one monorepo, with one tracing package shared across NestJS and Trigger.dev, adding traces at a new level was usually a one-line wrapper. Propagating context across a boundary was a few lines of middleware. Wiring OpenTelemetry metrics was a single SDK configuration.

On the old stack, this would have been a month-long, multi-repo retrofit.

On the new stack, it took days.

The lesson is not that we got lucky.

The lesson is that a coherent foundation makes the right thing cheap, even when you do it later than you should have.

Why This Matters in the Era of AI-Assisted Coding

Most of the engineering investments in this refactor would have been worth making in any era:

• Full-stack type safety

• Queryable distributed traces

• Structured backend modules

• Shared schemas

• Unit and integration tests

• Clear async job boundaries

But they matter even more now that AI coding agents are becoming a serious part of how software gets written.

When an AI agent is generating, refactoring, or debugging code, the constraint on velocity changes.

It is no longer just:

How fast can a human understand and type the change?

It becomes:

How quickly can the system verify whether the change is correct?

That verification loop is where the new foundation shines.

Traces Give Agents Evidence

Detailed, queryable traces show what production is actually doing.

An AI agent can be pointed at a specific trace and asked:

Why did this span take four seconds?

Without traces, the agent is guessing from code.

Types Give Agents Immediate Feedback

Full-stack type safety turns entire categories of mistakes into compile errors.

The agent sees the same failure a human would see, but it can react to it almost instantly.

A field rename that might have silently broken a loosely typed Python dictionary now becomes a compiler error. A backend output change that would have drifted from the frontend now fails in the same loop where the change is being written.

That matters enormously.

The faster the agent moves, the more valuable the guardrails become.

Tests Let Agents Iterate Safely

Type checking, linting, unit tests, and integration tests turn correctness into something the agent can verify automatically.

The loop becomes:

1. Change code

2. Run checks

3. Read failures

4. Fix

5. Repeat

Without that loop, every AI-generated change requires a human to manually validate it.

With that loop, humans can focus on product judgment, architecture, taste, and business context — the things humans are still best positioned to decide.

Right Architecture, Right Time

Minvo’s 2.0 infrastructure was architected in late 2025, just as Claude Code and other AI coding agents began changing the daily practice of software engineering.

We rebuilt the codebase so humans could ship features and fix bugs faster.

That worked.

But the pleasant surprise was:

On a typed, traced, and well-structured foundation, AI agents could move faster than the humans we built it for.

AI agents are fast, but they are not inherently careful. They need a system that is careful around them. They need types that catch contract drift, traces that reveal runtime behavior, tests that verify changes, and structure that makes the codebase legible.

The migration made Minvo faster for users, engineers… and agents 🎉

Unexpectedly, it made Minvo ready for a world where the fastest contributor to the codebase might not be human.

The compounding benefit is hard to overstate.

Until next time,
Minvo Engineering Team

At Minvo, our mission is to make creating engaging short-form video effortless with AI.

Today, Minvo Engineering would like to share a peak into the hard work that goes on behind-the-scenes to process 10,000s of videos at Minvo.

Going into 2026, the team had the opportunity to improve parts of our infrastructure to improve performance and the overall Minvo experience for users.

Since Minvo started, we have grown to a complex system of Python repositories and fragmented microservices. This architecture hit a bottleneck. Iteration was slowing down, pipelines felt increasingly fragile, and scaling brought exponential complexity.

We realized that to move fast, we had to slow down and rebuild.

The Breaking Point

Before the migration, adding a new feature or debugging an issue meant jumping through hoops across multiple disconnected codebases.

What should have taken hours often took days.

Our video and AI processing pipelines were fragile and difficult to trace. When an error occurred, the lack of centralized tooling meant our engineering team had to sift through fragmented log systems just to find the root cause. Without unified coding standards, adding new capabilities felt unnecessarily complex, slowing down our iteration speed and creating a ceiling for our product’s velocity.

The Philosophy Behind the Migration

At the core of this monumental undertaking wasn’t just a desire to use newer tools. It was driven by a clear set of guiding principles:

• Better Developer Experience Leads to Better User Experience: We strongly believe that when developers have a frictionless experience, they build more intuitive, reliable, and faster experiences for our users.

• Removing Dead Code: Over time, legacy systems accumulate cruft. A major goal was to surgically remove unneeded complexity, ensuring every piece of code serves a purpose.

• Improving Performance: A leaner, unified architecture inherently performs better. We needed a system that processes video and AI tasks with minimal overhead.

• Easier Debugging: We wanted to move from ‘hoping it works’ to ‘knowing it works.’ By building a deeply observable foundation, we empower our team to pinpoint and resolve issues rapidly.

• Fast Iteration on New Features: A unified, type-safe environment allows us to ship, scale, and iterate on core product features with absolute confidence and minimal friction.

What’s New

We set out to build an architecture that guarantees code integrity and quality from the ground up. We shifted from fragmented repositories to a robust, unified monorepo system.

• Unified System & Full-Stack Safety: We consolidated into a modern TypeScript monorepo, giving us end-to-end type safety between our frontend and backend.

• Robust Testing Culture: We implemented comprehensive unit and integration testing to confidently deploy features (with end-to-end testing paved on our roadmap).

• Deep Observability: We integrated better tracing and monitoring so we have complete visibility into our system’s behavior at any given second.

• Modern Infrastructure & CI/CD: We overhauled our deployment pipelines, enabling automated deployments via GitHub Actions to Kubernetes (K8s) and Vercel.

What This Means for Users

The impact of this ongoing migration ties directly to our product outcomes:

• Faster Performance: By optimizing our architecture and deployments, we’re doing more with less, dropping our infrastructure costs while serving users faster.

• Faster Feature Launches: With full-stack type safety and unified tooling, engineers can confidently ship features without constantly context-switching.

• Faster Bugfixes: Deep tracing and monitoring mean we can pinpoint and resolve issues in minutes, not hours.

• Reliable AI & Video Pipelines: Our async processing and robust testing mean user jobs succeed more consistently, providing an overall better product experience

Key Lessons

Migrating infrastructure of this scale brings a lot of learnings. Here are a few that we can share with engineering teams that may be facing similar problems and thinking of refactoring their infrastructure

• Simplicity beats fragmentation: A unified codebase and consistent tooling remove massive amounts of operational overhead.

• Visibility is underrated: You cannot fix what you cannot see. Investing in tracing and monitoring changes the game for developer experience.

• AI systems need strong infra, not just models: The best AI in the world fails if the data pipelines and infrastructure around it are weak.

• Transformations take time: Rebuilding the engine while flying the plane is a huge, challenging undertaking, but the compounding benefits are absolutely worth the time investment.

Today, Minvo’s infrastructure is rapidly transitioning into a tightly integrated, observable, and highly reliable engine. This foundation unlocks our ability to iterate aggressively on the core AI and video features our users love.

We’re building a platform engineered for speed and quality. The migration is a long journey, but it is the essential step to ensure that our product can grow with our users and continue to deliver an exceptional experience. We are excited about the future and the possibilities this new infrastructure will unlock for our team and our users.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we will dive deeper into the new architecture decisions made in this migration.

Cheers,
Minvo Engineering

Let’s dive in.

🎞️ Mashups

You know those rapid-fire montage clips that pack 10 moments into 60 seconds? The ones that fly through your best content with quick cuts and high energy?

They’re incredibly effective. They’re also incredibly tedious to make.

Mashups changes that. Instead of manually chopping, arranging, and timing dozens of cuts, Minvo’s AI does it for you. It takes your long-form video, identifies the 5-10 minute segments, then assembles them into fast-moving highlight reels by cutting to a core story.

That’s a mashup.

✨ Clip Settings: Zero Clicks, Faster Clips

Great clips need more than just good cutting. They need rhythm, energy, and polish.

That’s why we built Clip Settings—a suite of automatic edits that turn raw clips into publish-ready content:

• Remove Silences: Awkward pauses? Gone. Your clips now move at the perfect pace.

• Remove Filler Words: All those “ums” and “uhs” disappear automatically, so you sound crisp and confident.

• Sentence Zooms: Dynamic zoom levels that shift as you speak, creating visual variety that keeps viewers watching.

• Intro Effect: A punchy zoom right at the start—fast or slow, your choice—that grabs attention in the first second.

• Background Music: Subtle tracks that enhance your message without overpowering your voice.

Toggle them on, and Minvo handles the rest. Every clip comes out looking professional, without you touching a single keyframe.

📸 AI Reframing: Smarter, Faster, Better

Not all videos are filmed the same way. Some creators stay centered. Some run podcasts with two people side-by-side. Some move around while they speak.

Now, you can choose exactly how Minvo reframes your content for vertical formats:

• Center: Locks the frame to the middle. Perfect if you film in one static position and want consistency across every clip.

• Split: Keeps both speakers in frame with a 50/50 split. Ideal for podcast conversations where both people are equally active.

• Motion-Tracking: Our brand-new AI-powered reframing that follows the action in real time. Whether you’re filming a speech, a dynamic presentation, or a multi-person discussion, Motion-Tracking adapts faster and more accurately than ever before.

Ready to Try It?

All of these features are live in Minvo right now. No waitlist, no beta access—just log in and start creating.

We built these tools because we know your time matters. The less you spend editing, the more you can spend creating, strategizing, and growing.

Here’s to making 2026 your best content year yet.

— The Minvo Team

At Minvo, we are always thinking of ways to cut that time down!

This month, we are excited to announce 2 new features that make Minvo the fastest way to create short-form content from your long-form videos!

✂️ Inline Transcript Cutting

Sometimes there is a sentence or a few words you may want to cut out of your Minvo clips. With Inline Transcript Cutting, you can directly highlight the transcript (without going to the video editor) to cut your video. This is just one more feature to help you get more clips to your audience with less time.

Removing parts from your clips

Adding back parts to your clip

📹 New Quick Reframing

Reframing a clip is a key step to preparing it for social media. Minvo has always provided AI reframing to focus on speakers and track moving speakers. However, many users simply just need to center a video or split it between 2 people.

Now, when you click “Frame Faces” you can select from one of three framing options:

• Center: good for a static reframe of your video to the center [fast]

• Split: good for a static reframe of your video to focus on 2 people [fast]

• Auto-Frame: best for videos with moving speakers or alternating camera angles [slower]

[Bonus] New Title Presets

We have also added 10 new presets for titles. Click “Style & Brand” on any clip to add or edit a title to your clips

As always, if you have any feedback or feature requests, please share on Discord or Canny

During beta, we saw creators repurpose their content in these new formats to engage with their audience. We hope this is another tool for you to create more engaging content with Minvo and spread your content to the largest audience possible.

🖼️ [NEW] Video → Image

Minvo aims to be the easiest way to extract and share the value of your long-form video content with your audience. Starting today, Minvo now allows you to extract quotes as images to share with your audience wherever they are.

Checkout the new “Quotes” tab to extract the best quotes from your video as postable images for social media.

100+ New Soundtracks

Music is a great way to improve your clip’s engagement. In May, we have added 100+ new royalty-free soundtracks to help you better engage your audience.

Virality Scores

There are many attributes to a great clip. Minvo now scores every moment’s hook, conclusion, and virality potential to help you understand which clips are best for social. Find the new score at the bottom of every clip on Minvo.

Sort & Filter Moments

It’s now easier to find the best moments by sorting and filtering. Looking for the clip with the highest “hook score”, you can now sort for that and edit it to your liking.

Upgraded Video Editor

When you need to make more advanced edits, Minvo’s timeline editor is an easy way to make them. We have overhauled the UI for easier navigation and editing. Try it by clicking “Timeline Editor” on any of your clips.

As always, if you have any feedback or feature requests, please share on Discord or Canny

Users have recognized the new features, workflow improvements, and 100s of performance enhancements that are making Minvo the easiest and way to cut, edit, and post shorts.

This month, we are excited to share new 1-click features to make editing your videos for more engagement an effortless experience.

💥 Make Your Hooks More Captivating with 1 Click

The first 3-5 seconds of a short really set the tone. While the most important thing to do is cut or record the best hook, Minvo’s new Enhance Intro feature makes it easy to add a subtle video and audio effect to the intro of your video.

Enhance Intro is available to all users today! Try it out at www.minvo.pro

🌎 Advanced Caption & Audio Translation to
50+ Languages

Do you want to reach audiences that speak languages other than the language you recorded in? Minvo has made it easier than ever to translate your voice, captions, or both!

- You could translate your English voice to a Japanese voice
- You could translate your French captions to English captions
- You could translate your English voice to Arabic voice and captions

As always, if you have any feedback or feature requests, please share on Discord or Canny

Without further ado, here’s what’s new in January 2025 👇

1. Animated Video Pan

Do you have video with people walking across a stage? Or maybe you want to start your video with a slow-zoom?

Minvo’s new “Animated Pan” camera framing will allow you set a start and end position for any segment of video.

To use it, just click on any segment of video in the timeline (or use split to create a new segment). Then select “Animated Pan” under “Framing” in the right-panel. Lastly, drag the green and red boxes to set the start and end positions of the pan.

Animated Pan is available to all users today! Try it out at www.minvo.pro

2. Quick AI Edits

We have completely redesigned Minvo’s moments screen to let you do more without going to the video editor. Now, the moments screen allows you to activate MagicFrame, MagicMedia (AI Images), Enhance Audio, and MagicCut (removing fillers and silences).

As always, if you have any feedback or feature requests, please share on Discord or Canny
