Features

Quote-Shaped Moment Detection

Looks for the counterintuitive claim, the personal-stakes story, and the framework stated plainly enough to stand alone in a feed.

Channel Monitoring

Add a public self-help or personal development channel and new uploads get clipped on their own, usually picked up within minutes.

Word-Synced Captions

Word-by-word highlighting holds attention on a talking-head clip with the sound off — the default state for this kind of content.

Multi-Platform Auto-Post

Clips post to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X, and 9+ other destinations on a spaced schedule, with no separate scheduling tool.

How It Works

1

Add a self-help YouTube channel

Paste any public self-help or personal development channel URL. Monitoring starts immediately.

2

The strongest moments get found

The full talk is read and each segment scored on whether it lands as a complete thought — a claim with a turn, not a fragment of one.

3

Clips are reframed and captioned

Each one is cut to 9:16 with the speaker tracked and word-synced captions burned in, ready to publish.

4

Auto-post to your clip channels

Clips go out to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts on your schedule, so the channel keeps posting on the days you don't open it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I clip self-help channels I don't own?

Yes. Add any public self-help or personal development channel and its videos get clipped automatically — the tool is built for people repurposing other creators' long-form content.

What clip length works best for self-help content?

30–50 seconds. That's one complete claim or one story beat. Under 20 seconds usually cuts before the payoff and leaves the viewer with nothing; over 60 you're asking a lot of a stranger who found you mid-scroll.

How does AutoClip find the best moments in a self-help video?

It scores each segment on whether it works alone: is there a claim, does the speaker's energy rise into it, and does it resolve inside the clip. You see the score breakdown and can override any pick before it posts.

How many clips can I get per self-help video?

Around nine from a typical video, though a dense hour-long talk yields more than a rambling one. Per-video caps are 6 on Starter, 12 on Pro, and 15 on Scale, and you can set a lower count per channel.
