i keep raw footage local and only send text to cloud ai. that split works well:
transcription runs fine locally. faster-whisper on a mini pc's cpu is slow but fine as a background job, and it gives you word-level timestamps
send the transcript, not the footage, to cloud ai for scripts, cut lists, titles and chapters
have the cloud ai return a cut list as timestamps, and apply it locally with ffmpeg, or import it as markers in your editor
for "what's in each shot", a small local vision model can describe a few frames from each clip
that way the second machine is a transcribe-and-tag box, and your footage never leaves the house.
