WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why clipVideo needs a policy

This tool creates a new video clip by trimming/cropping a portion of a source video. It writes/creates a new output file but does not irreversibly destroy the original, making it a Write operation. Misuse could overwrite files or consume significant storage/CPU resources, warranting medium severity.
