Features
Whole-Video Analysis
The full audio is transcribed down to the word, and every segment is considered — including the ones an hour in, where most manual clippers have already stopped looking.
Ranked Virality Scoring
Each candidate gets a score with a five-criterion breakdown covering hook, pacing, emotional peak, and whether the moment stands on its own. Best picks sit at the top of the queue.
Speaker-Tracking Reframe
The crop follows whoever is talking, so a two-person interview stays watchable in 9:16 instead of cutting off whoever leans out of frame.
Channel Monitoring
Add a public YouTube channel once and every new upload gets clipped on its own — one monitored channel on Starter, three on Pro, ten on Scale.
How It Works
Paste a YouTube channel URL
Add any public channel to your monitoring list. It's a one-time setup, not a habit.
New uploads get picked up and read
When the creator posts, AutoClip notices, usually within minutes, transcribes the audio, and works through the whole video looking for moments that stand alone.
Top moments are cut, reframed, and captioned
The best-scoring segments are cut at clean in and out points, converted to 9:16 with speaker tracking, and captioned word by word.
Clips post to your connected accounts
TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X, and the rest of your 9 destinations receive the finished clips on a spaced schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work on any channel or only my own?
Any public YouTube channel. AutoClip is built for people repurposing someone else's long-form content, so you don't need to own or manage the source channel.
How good are the picks?
It depends on the source. Gaming streams, interview podcasts, and commentary channels give up strong moments readily; the top few clips from a video are usually ones you'd have chosen yourself. Slow, single-topic material is harder for every automatic tool. Run a new channel in review mode for a couple of weeks before switching to full auto-post.
What video length is supported, and how long does it take?
From a few minutes up to 10 hours, depending on plan — Starter handles sources up to 2 hours, Pro up to 5, Scale up to 10. A typical video takes about 10–15 minutes end to end; a multi-hour stream takes proportionally longer. Billing is one credit per source minute, with 200 credits on Starter, 500 on Pro, and 1200 on Scale.
Can I control how many clips get extracted per video?
Yes, up to your plan's per-video cap — 6 on Starter, 12 on Pro, 15 on Scale. Around nine is typical for a normal-length video, and they arrive ranked, so a lower cap simply keeps the top of the list.
