User uploads a long video, and you return some short clips. I could build this (scaling is a different issue), but I’m curious about potential challenges I might not be considering. Aside from abuse, like multiple IPs from free accounts, are there other problems I should be aware of?

Potential Challenges in Creating Short Clips from Long Videos
- Copyright Issues:
- Original Content: Make sure you have the rights to use the uploaded video. Using content you don’t own the copyright to can lead to legal problems.
- Fair Use: Be aware of fair use laws in your area. Creating short clips for purposes like commentary, parody, or news reporting may be permitted under certain conditions.
- Technical Difficulties:
- Video Quality: The quality of the short clips may vary based on the resolution and encoding of the original video.
- Processing Time: Converting long videos into short clips can be time-consuming, especially if you have many uploads.
- Storage: You’ll need significant storage space for both the original videos and the clips you generate.
