Features

Channel Monitoring

Point AutoClip at any public true crime channel and new episodes get clipped on their own, usually within minutes of going up. You never submit a video by hand.

Narrative Moment Detection

Evidence reveals, verdict beats, and host reactions get scored for how likely they are to hold attention. Every clip ships with a 5-criterion virality breakdown, so you can see why it was picked instead of guessing.

Word-Level Captions

Captions land word by word as they're spoken, which keeps case names, dates, and evidence details readable for the large share of viewers watching muted.

Multi-Platform Auto-Post

Finished clips publish to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels — 9 destinations in total — on a spaced schedule you set once.

How It Works

1

Add a true crime YouTube channel

Paste any true crime channel URL — Bailey Sarian, Kendall Rae, Stephanie Harlowe, or any other public channel — and AutoClip starts watching it for new uploads.

2

AutoClip ranks the clippable moments

Each new episode gets read end to end and its moments ranked by how likely they are to keep someone watching: the evidence reveal, the verdict, the beat where the host stops narrating and reacts.

3

Clips post to TikTok automatically

Clips come back reframed to 9:16 with the host centered, captioned, and queued to your connected accounts. A typical episode is done in about 10–15 minutes; a two-hour deep-dive takes proportionally longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What true crime YouTube channels work best with this tool?

Face-to-camera hosting is the single best predictor. Bailey Sarian, Kendall Rae, Stephanie Harlowe, True Crime Daily, and Explore with Josh all fit: a host on screen, a case structured with a setup and a resolution, and a regular upload schedule of roughly 1 to 4 videos a week. Channels built mostly on stock footage and voiceover clip worse, because there's no face to reframe around.

What clip length should I use for true crime content?

40–65 seconds. The genre needs setup before the payoff lands, and clips under 35 seconds routinely cut before the resolution — you get the accusation without the answer, and viewers bounce. Start in the 40–65 range, then check watch-through after two weeks: a drop-off before your payoff means you started the clip too early, not that it ran too long.

Does AutoClip filter sensitive true crime content?

No. AutoClip doesn't judge topic sensitivity — that call is yours. If you'd rather not have clips go out unreviewed, turn on the review queue for a new source channel and approve each clip before it publishes. Once you trust how a channel clips, switch it back to fully automatic.

How many clips can I expect per true crime video?

Around 9 from a typical episode, though it moves with length and how much of the runtime is genuinely usable. Your plan sets the ceiling: 6 clips per video on Starter, 12 on Pro, 15 on Scale. Source length is what you pay for — 1 credit per source minute, so a 45-minute episode costs 45 credits out of the 200 (Starter), 500 (Pro), or 1200 (Scale) you get each month.
