How to Make Clips With AI

Three steps, and none of them is editing. Bring a long video, choose the shape and the caption style you want, and the clips come back finished. No timeline, nothing to drag, nothing to learn first. Your first video is free and needs no card.

01

What you actually do

Three steps. Nobody has ever needed a tutorial for them, which is the point.

  • Bring the video. Upload the file, or paste a link. Anything with someone talking works: an episode, a call, a stream, a lesson.
  • Choose how it should look. The shape, and the caption style. Two decisions, both visible on screen, both changeable.
  • Come back to finished clips. They arrive as ordinary video files, ready to upload as they are.
The work you skip is the part that used to take the whole evening.

02

What you choose

Everything here is a preference, not a skill. There is no wrong answer you have to know in advance.

You pickYour optionsIf you are unsure
Shape9:16, 4:5, 1:1 or 16:99:16, it fits every short feed
CaptionsStyle, font, colour, effectsStart with a default and restyle later
How many clipsUp to ten from one creditTake ten and keep the ones you like
LayoutAutomatic, or pick it yourselfAutomatic

If you never change any of it, you still get finished clips. The settings are there for when you have a look you want to keep.

03

What lands in your downloads

Plain video files. Not a project, not something that needs exporting, not a link that expires while you are deciding.

  • Captions already burned in, so they read with the sound off.
  • Sized for the feed you chose, so nothing needs reformatting.
  • Up to 1080p with no watermark on a paid plan.
  • Ready to upload from your phone, exactly as downloaded.

04

Preparing your recording

Clear audio and a focused conversation give the best results. Before uploading, trim long introductions, technical checks and goodbyes. Recordings where speakers take turns and make complete points produce more clips worth posting.

A good recording saves more time than any setting.

05

Reviewing what comes back

Watch each clip once on your phone and decide quickly whether to keep it. Check the opening seconds, the words on screen and whether the clip makes sense on its own. Small fixes, like correcting a name, take moments.

Keep a short list of words that often need correcting.

06

Posting and learning

Post the strongest clips first and track how they perform. After a few weeks, you will see which topics and styles your audience responds to.

Use that knowledge when choosing what to record next.

07

Trying it without paying

The first video is free and does not ask for a card. It comes back at 720p with a small watermark, which is enough to judge whether the clips are worth posting before you spend anything.

If they are, paid plans start at ten dollars a month, and one credit covers one video however long it runs.

Questions people ask

Do I need to know how to edit?
No. There is no timeline and nothing to drag. You pick a shape and a caption style, and finished files come back. People who have never opened editing software get the same result as people who have.
How long does it take?
Minutes, not an afternoon. You start it and walk away; the clips are waiting when you come back. A long recording takes longer than a short one, but you are not sitting through any of it.
What do I need to bring?
One video with someone talking in it, and that is all. Upload the file, or paste a link from YouTube, Vimeo, Zoom, Google Drive, Dropbox, Facebook or X.
Can I still change things afterwards?
Yes. The caption style is yours to restyle, and on a paid plan you can also set exactly which parts of the video become clips instead of leaving it automatic.
What does it cost to try?
The first video is free and needs no card. It renders at 720p with a small watermark, which is enough to see the clips before deciding anything. Paid plans go up to 1080p with no watermark.
