Features

Reaction peaks rise to the top

Reveal reactions, plot-twist responses, and first-watch shock land at the top of the queue instead of buried at minute 38. Each candidate carries a virality score with a five-criterion breakdown, so a clip's rank is something you can inspect rather than trust.

Reframe built for split layouts

Webcam-plus-footage layouts get converted to portrait with the reactor treated as the subject, so their face stays large through the peak while the show footage keeps enough of the frame to give the reaction context.

Punch-in on the peak frame

A tight 10–15% zoom on the frame where the reaction actually breaks — the open mouth, the hands going up, the lean forward. Candidates are marked for you; you confirm or move them before export.

Word-synced captions

Captions land word by word in the lower third so the reactor's face stays clear at the top of the frame. High-contrast text with a stroke, in a style you can save to a brand kit and reuse across every clip.

How It Works

Add an anime reaction channel

Paste a channel URL into monitoring and new uploads get clipped without you submitting anything — usually within minutes of going live. Or queue videos from the back catalog one at a time. Monitoring covers 1 channel on Starter, 3 on Pro, 10 on Scale.

Candidates come back ranked

A typical reaction video produces around nine scored candidates in about 10–15 minutes; a long first-watch marathon takes proportionally longer. Per-video caps are 6 clips on Starter, 12 on Pro, 15 on Scale.

Review and trim

Work down the ranked list and adjust start and end points in the editor — hold the reaction close-up a beat longer, trim the show footage back if claim risk is on your mind.

Reframe, punch in, caption

Apply the 9:16 crop, set the punch-in on the peak frame, and preview the rendered clip before you commit to it.

Export or schedule

Download at 1080x1920 for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts, or send the batch to your posting queue and space 3–5 clips from one source across a couple of days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work for anime reaction channels on YouTube?

Yes — any public YouTube video, including long first-watch and commentary uploads. The sweet spot is a 20–90 minute reaction where the reactor is on camera throughout and the emotional spikes come often. Compilation channels that cut the reactor out are much thinner material, because what you're clipping is then mostly someone else's footage.

Will anime clips get claimed?

Some will. Reaction and commentary have a real fair-use argument when your commentary is the substance of the clip, but rights holders in this space are unusually active and a strong argument does not prevent a claim from landing. The practical version: keep the reactor central, keep continuous stretches of show footage short, and clip channels whose owners have said publicly that clippers are welcome. AutoClip will not tell you a clip is safe, because nothing honestly can.

How many clips can I get from a 45-minute reaction video?

Around nine candidates for a typical video, of which 3–5 are usually worth posting. Posting more than that from one source in quick succession tends to split your own reach — the same audience sees five near-identical thumbnails and engages with one. Per-video caps are 6 on Starter, 12 on Pro, 15 on Scale.
