Features
Moments ranked, with the reasoning shown
Each candidate clip gets a virality score broken into five criteria, so you can see whether it ranked on the hook, the payoff, or the energy — and reorder the queue when you disagree.
9:16 reframe that follows the subject
Vertical conversion keeps the speaker centered as the shot moves. Gaming footage can use a facecam split layout, and podcasts get cuts that land on speaker changes rather than mid-sentence.
Word-synced captions
Captions land word by word, burned in, in karaoke, pop, or bounce styles — or your own fonts, colors, and logo saved to a brand kit.
Auto-posting to 9 destinations
Connect your accounts once and finished clips publish on a spaced schedule to TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and more — 3 accounts on Starter, 8 on Pro, 25 on Scale.
How It Works
Paste a YouTube URL
Any public YouTube video, yours or not. Or add a channel to monitoring and new uploads get clipped on their own.
The best moments come back ranked
AutoClip reads the video the way a viewer would and ranks each moment by how likely it is to hold attention past the first few seconds, showing the score breakdown for each one.
Review and post
Browse the clips, adjust anything you want in the editor, then download or send them to your posting queue.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the auto clip maker work?
You give it a link — or a channel to watch — and it comes back with a ranked set of clips, each already cut, reframed to 9:16, and captioned. Every clip shows a virality score split into five criteria so you can see why it ranked where it did rather than taking the order on faith. What you do next is the actual work: review, cut the two that don't land, and post.
What platforms can I post clips to?
TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels, and 9 short-form destinations in total, on a spaced schedule rather than all at once. Reddit, Snapchat, and Twitch are not supported as posting destinations — Twitch works as a source for clipping, not a place to publish.
Do I need to edit the clips?
Usually not. Clips come out captioned, vertical, and cut to length, and most are postable as-is. The editor is there when a cut starts a beat early or a caption line breaks awkwardly, and that's worth doing on the clip you actually care about. If you want frame-level control over every cut, a manual editor like CapCut or Descript will give you more say than any automatic tool will.
Is there a free auto clip maker?
The free tier gives you trial clips with a watermark and 2 connected social accounts — enough to judge whether the output is good enough for your channel. Paid starts at $19.99/mo for Starter: 200 credits, 10 videos, 50 clips, 1 monitored channel, and watermark-free export, which plenty of competitors hold back for a mid tier.
How fast does it process videos?
About 10–15 minutes for a typical video, from link to finished clips. Longer sources take proportionally longer — a three-hour stream VOD is simply more material to work through. Scale plans get priority processing when the queue is busy.
Can it monitor channels automatically?
Yes, and it's the feature that actually changes your routine. Add a public YouTube, Twitch, or Kick channel and new uploads and stream VODs get clipped without you opening the dashboard. Starter watches 1 channel, Pro 3, Scale 10.
