Cut a 9:16 vertical clip from any prior video job (find_clips, summarize, or video transcribe), suitable for direct upload to TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts. Default output is 1080×1920 H.264 / AAC `.mp4` with center-cropped framing; audio loudness-normalized to -14 LUFS / -1.5 dBTP for short-form social. Single-segment only; clip duration must be between 1 and 90 seconds (Instagram Reels max). Operates on a parent job — possessing the parent `source_job_id` is the capability, no upload step. Two-call flow: (1) call with `source_job_id` + `start` + `end` (in source seconds) to receive {job_id, payment_challenge}; (2) pay via MPP and call with `job_id` + `payment_credential` to start processing. Poll get_job_status(job_id) for completion; output is role `clip-vertical-video` (the `.mp4`). Flat price: $0.50 per clip. Payment: MPP — accepts Tempo USDC and Stripe SPT. Optional `profile` parameter selects the encoding profile (default `tiktok-primary`). Allowed values: `tiktok-primary` (1080×1920, fast preset, CRF 22), `tiktok-primary-720p` (720×1280, CBR 3 Mbps — half-resolution mobile-optimized, ~40% faster wall time), `instagram-reels` (1080×1920, slow preset, CBR 4 Mbps), `instagram-stories` (same encode shape as instagram-reels). All four profiles loudness-normalize identically. Source must be a horizontal video (wider than 9:16) — already-vertical or square sources are rejected. Source must still be in storage (72h TTL for find_clips parents, 24h elsewhere — check `expires_at` from get_job_status on the parent). Pair with `find_clips` ($2.00/video) to pick a moment first, then call this to get a download-ready vertical mp4 in under 5 minutes. Multiple extract_vertical_clip calls against one parent are independent paid jobs. Failed jobs auto-refund.
