Frequently Asked Questions

What video length works best for extraction?

Videos 45 minutes to 3 hours long produce the most clips per session. Short videos under 20 minutes typically yield 1-2 clips at most.

How many clips does one long-form video produce?

A 1-hour YouTube video produces 3–5 clips on average. A 3-hour stream archive produces 8–12. Exact count depends on content density.

Does extraction work on any YouTube video?

Yes — podcasts, live stream archives, interviews, gaming VODs, lectures, and vlogs all work. Language clarity affects caption accuracy.

Is there a free plan for the long-form extractor?

AutoClip starts at $19.99/mo. The Starter plan includes 10 clips per month with AI extraction, auto-reframe, captions, and auto-posting.
