AI Clips

Long video in. Short clips out.

Paste a link or upload a file. ClipCheap finds the moments worth sharing, adds captions that move, and fits each clip to vertical, square or wide. Then you make the final cut.

Free plan: 60 minutes of video a month, no card needed.

A 42-minute interview with three highlighted moments on its timeline, and the three vertical clips made from them, each with an editorial score, a length and a different caption style.

What AI Clips does for you

  • Finds the good parts

    AI reads the transcript and picks complete moments with a strong start and a real payoff.

  • Captions that move

    Four animated styles: clean, bold, karaoke and pop. Every clip also gets an SRT file.

  • Every shape

    Export 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9. Auto-reframe keeps faces in frame from the Creator plan up.

  • You have the last word

    Trim, fix a word or switch the style. Every update is saved as a new version.

How it works

From an hour of footage to clips you’d post.

AI does the slow first pass. You keep every decision.

Start from the whole video

Paste a link to a public YouTube video or upload the original file. Videos can run up to 30 minutes on Free, 1 hour on Creator, 2 hours on Pro, and 3 hours on Business. You confirm you have the rights before anything is processed.

  • YouTube links and file uploads
  • Files up to 1 GiB on Free, 2 GiB on Creator, 6 GiB on Pro, and 8 GiB on Business
  • Keeps working after you close the tab

Picks with a reason, not a promise

Every clip comes with a title, the reason it was picked, and scores for hook, clarity, emotion and payoff. Picks never overlap.

  • A one-line reason for every pick
  • Scores you can read at a glance
  • An editorial estimate, never a view forecast
More about the AI Assistant

Captions people actually read

Choose a style and every clip gets it. Words light up as they are spoken when the transcript has word timings; otherwise each line is spread evenly across the phrase.

  • Clean, bold, karaoke and pop
  • Burned in, plus a separate SRT file
  • Fix any word in the editor

Keep the speaker in frame

Turning a wide video vertical? Auto-reframe follows the face it finds, and falls back to a center crop when there is none.

  • Exports in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9
  • Face tracking on Creator, Pro, and Business
  • Center crop on Free

An editor for the final touches

Move the start and end, fix caption text, switch the style or shape, then update the clip.

  • Trim the start and end
  • Edit captions line by line
  • Every update saved as a new version

Honest by design

What AI Clips won’t do.

Good tools are clear about their limits. Here are ours.

  • We don’t promise views.

    A score explains why a moment was picked. It can’t forecast reach, and nobody can.

  • We don’t get around restrictions.

    No DRM, private, age-gated or region-locked videos. Some links won’t work, on purpose.

  • We don’t make the final call.

    AI does the first pass. You review, trim and decide what gets posted.

  • We don’t pad the results.

    A short or very focused video may give fewer clips. We won’t stretch it to hit a number.

FAQ

Questions about AI Clips

What videos can I use?

Videos you own or have permission to use. Paste a link to a public, non-live YouTube video or upload a file. Videos can run up to 30 minutes on Free, 1 hour on Creator, 2 hours on Pro, and 3 hours on Business. ClipCheap does not bypass DRM, sign-ins, age gates or regional blocks, so some YouTube videos can’t be processed. Read the acceptable use policy.

How does the AI pick moments?

It transcribes the audio, then looks for moments with a strong opening, a clear point, some emotion and a payoff. Each pick gets a title, a short reason and an editorial score.

Does the score tell me which clip will do best?

No. It is a subjective editorial score based on the transcript, not a prediction of views or engagement. Use it to decide which clips to review first.

How accurate are the captions?

They are a strong first draft. Timing follows the words when the transcription provider returns word timings, and is spread evenly across each phrase when it does not. Check every clip and fix anything in the editor.

Which plans include auto-reframe?

Creator, Pro, and Business. On Free, clips use a center crop.

How many clips can one video make?

Up to 5 on Free, 10 on Creator, and 16 on Pro and Business. Each clip can run up to 60 seconds on Free and 90 seconds on Creator, Pro, and Business. Short or very focused videos may give fewer clips, and we won’t pad them.

What do I get at the end?

MP4 files up to 720p on Free, with a small watermark, and up to 1080p on paid plans. Captions can be burned in, and every clip comes with a separate SRT file.
