Features

Peak reactions ranked first

The laugh, the shock, the moment someone has to pause and sit back — those surface at the top of the queue with a virality score and a five-criterion breakdown behind it, rather than being something you find at minute 31 if you're patient.

Vertical reframe that keeps the face

Widescreen becomes 9:16 with the reactor kept in the upper part of the frame, where a phone viewer's eye lands first, and held there as they move around.

Handles side-by-side and overlay layouts

Reaction videos come in a few shapes, and the crop adapts: reactor-only, side-by-side, and picture-in-picture all end up with the face prioritized and enough of the source visible to make the reaction make sense.

A whole video's worth in one run

Around nine candidates from a typical video, all reviewable in one pass before you decide what's worth downloading. Per-video caps are 6 clips on Starter, 12 on Pro, 15 on Scale.

How It Works

Paste any reaction video URL

Any public YouTube video — music reactions, trailer reactions, gaming first-plays. Or add the channel to monitoring and skip the pasting entirely.

The strongest moments come back ranked

Loud reactions, verbal callouts, laughter bursts, and the silences right before them get scored and sorted, so you're reading a shortlist instead of a timeline.

Clips arrive cut, vertical, and captioned

Each candidate is trimmed, converted to 9:16, and captioned word by word — about 10–15 minutes for a typical video, longer for a multi-hour upload.

Download or schedule

Keep the two to four that clear your bar and download them, or connect TikTok, Reels, or Shorts and let them post on a spaced schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work on any YouTube channel?

Yes — any public YouTube video, owned by you or not. That's the point: most reaction clippers work from channels they follow. Add the ones you clip weekly to monitoring and new uploads get processed on their own.

What reaction video formats does it support?

The three common ones — reactor-only, side-by-side, and picture-in-picture with the reactor as an overlay. The crop adjusts to the layout it finds. The hard case is a tiny corner webcam over full-screen footage: there's only so much you can do in portrait when the reaction occupies 8% of the frame, and you may want to override the crop yourself on those.

How many clips can I get from one reaction video?

Around nine candidates from a typical video, more from a long one. From a 20-minute reaction, expect six to eight worth looking at and two to four worth posting. Pushing more than that from a single source in quick succession usually just splits your own reach — the same audience sees five near-identical thumbnails and clicks one.

Will Content ID be a problem when posting reaction clips?

The exposure comes from the source material being reacted to, not from the reaction layer. Clips built around the reactor's face and voice, with short stretches of the original, sit on much firmer ground than clips that are mostly someone else's footage with a face in the corner. Music reactions are the sharpest case — recorded music is matched aggressively, and a fair-use argument doesn't stop a match from landing. AutoClip won't tell you a clip is clear, because that isn't a call any tool can make for you.
