Show HN: Eclips – Pinterest for Video

My name is Dan. This is my first submission so forgive me if I'm awkward. A couple of friends and I are building an app for students (and other awesome people) so they can save segments of any video they find on the internet.
We're really excited about the implications for search because instead of searching for whole videos, people can search for parts of videos that other people have personally curated. If I may, it's sort of like Google's crawler being able to read the text on the webpage rather than just the meta-tags. It's a much more powerful way to find interesting content.
Anyway, it's in private beta at the moment, but there is a video tutorial. Any feedback is super appreciated!
That app in beta sounds really amazing. I was thinking about that kind of problem before in one of the classes that I was enrolled in. One thing i find interesting is that how will you do this cheaply? Since searching segments of a video will be really expensive from what I recall.
Not sure if you got a chance to checkout the video tutorial, but the idea is the video segments are parsed by keywords made by users, rather than video/audio recognition technology. Each segment of video is like a document with keywords, meta-data, etc. so we just run our search algorithm through that, and it's pretty standard from then on.
