Features
Scored, not shuffled
Every candidate clip carries a virality score broken into five criteria, so you can see whether it ranked on the hook, the payoff, the pacing, or something else — and overrule it.
Cuts that respect the sentence
Clips start on the line that earns attention and end where the thought closes. On multi-speaker recordings, cuts land on speaker changes instead of mid-answer.
Ready for the feed, not for an editor
Output is 9:16 with word-synced captions burned in. Pro and Scale add 1:1, 16:9, and 4:5 from the same source, and Scale exports at 4K.
Runs without you
Add a YouTube, Twitch, or Kick channel and new uploads get clipped automatically, usually within minutes, then queued or posted to your accounts.
How It Works
Provide a video
Paste a public URL, or add a channel once and let monitoring pick up every new upload.
Moments get ranked
Each segment is scored for how likely it is to keep someone watching, and the score breakdown is shown next to the clip.
Clips come out finished
Top-ranked moments become vertical, captioned clips — ready to post, schedule, or adjust in the timeline editor.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does AutoClip decide what to clip?
It reads the video for the things that keep a viewer past the first few seconds: a strong opening line, a clear payoff, a shift in energy, a moment that stands on its own without the surrounding context. Each clip shows that judgment as a five-criterion score, so you are not stuck guessing why something ranked where it did.
How accurate is the AI at finding good clips?
Good enough that most of the queue is postable and you are picking favorites rather than salvaging. It is not perfect — running jokes that only work with 20 minutes of setup tend to score higher than they deserve, and quiet, information-dense material scores lower than it should. That is why the score breakdown is visible and the ordering is yours to change.
Can it generate clips from any type of content?
Podcasts, gaming streams, interviews, vlogs, lectures, news commentary, sports talk — all work. Clear speech and some variation in energy produce the best results. Long screen-shares with flat narration produce the fewest clips, and it is fair to say so up front.
How long does it take to generate clips?
About 10–15 minutes for a typical video. Longer sources take proportionally longer — a five-hour stream VOD is not going to finish in the same window as a 15-minute upload. Scale includes priority processing when the queue is busy.
Can the clip generator run without me touching it?
Yes. With channel monitoring plus auto-posting, new uploads get detected, clipped, captioned, and published to your accounts without a manual step. Most people leave approval on for the first week, then turn it off once they trust the output.
Is there a free AI clip generator?
The free tier gives watermarked trial clips and 2 connected accounts. Starter is $19.99/mo with 200 credits — one credit per minute of source video — 10 videos, 50 clips, channel monitoring, auto-posting, and watermark-free export. Pro is $39.99/mo with 500 credits, and Scale $79.99/mo with 1200.
