Features
Moments Picked for a Scrolling Feed
AutoClip reads any public YouTube video and pulls the hooks, reactions, and punchlines — the beats that survive a thumb hovering over the next video.
9:16 That Follows the Speaker
Every clip is reshaped to TikTok's format with the crop tracking whoever is talking, so a two-person conversation does not turn into a shot of an empty chair.
Captions Burned In
Word-synced captions render into each clip in TikTok-native styles. Feed playback starts muted, so captions are how the first two seconds do any work at all.
Posts to TikTok on Its Own
Connect TikTok once and clips publish on a spaced schedule. Starter connects 3 social accounts, Pro 8, Scale 25.
How It Works
Paste a YouTube URL
Any public video, any channel. You do not need to own it — that is the entire clipper model.
AutoClip builds the TikTok clips
It scores the video for what would hold attention, cuts around the best moments, reframes to 9:16, and burns in captions.
Post, or let it post
Review and publish, or leave auto-posting on and let clips go live without you opening the dashboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I clip videos I don't own?
Yes — any public YouTube URL. Plenty of accounts are built entirely around clipping one creator, sport, or podcast. Worth knowing the creator's position first: some actively want clip accounts, others issue takedowns, and the platform will side with the rights holder.
How does the converter work?
You give it a link. It finds the moments most likely to stop a scroll, cuts them into standalone clips, reshapes each to 9:16 with the framing following the speaker, adds word-synced captions, and posts them to your TikTok. About 10–15 minutes end to end for a typical video.
What clip length works on TikTok?
30–90 seconds is the default here and it holds up for most conversational content. Shorter cuts tend to do better for pure reaction and punchline clips; longer ones only work when the moment genuinely needs setup. Length is configurable either way.
Are captions added automatically?
Yes, word-synced and burned into every clip, with several styles to choose from. A brand kit on Pro saves your style so you are not reselecting it each run. Caption text is editable on web if a name comes out wrong.
How long does it take?
About 10–15 minutes for a typical video, producing around 9 TikTok-ready clips. Long sources — multi-hour streams, five-hour uploads — take proportionally longer. Scale includes priority processing.
Can new uploads clip to TikTok automatically?
Yes. Add the channel to monitoring and new videos are picked up within minutes, clipped, and posted to TikTok with no manual step. Starter monitors 1 channel, Pro 3, Scale 10.
