Long-form to short-form
AI Clip Generator for Long Videos
An AI clip generator turns one long video into several short vertical clips. With ClipClap you paste a YouTube, Twitch or TikTok link or upload a file, and it transcribes the speech, picks moments that make sense alone and cuts 9:16 clips with burned-in subtitles.

How does ClipClap turn a long video into clips?
ClipClap receives the video, transcribes the speech with word timings, asks an AI model to pick passages that stand on their own, cuts each one, reframes it to 9:16 around the speaker and burns in subtitles. You review the finished clips and download the ones worth posting. Nothing is published for you.
- 01
Send the long video
Paste a supported link or upload a file you own or have permission to reuse. A file must be at least 60 seconds long and at most 2 GB. A paid source can run up to 3 hours.
- 02
Let the pipeline find moments
The job runs download, transcription, analysis, cutting and subtitles in that order. The analysis step reads the transcript for a joke with its punchline, a claim with its reason or a story with its ending, and a per-clip editor then adjusts the start and end.
- 03
Review before you post
Watch each result, check the first and last second, the crop and the spelling of names, and download only the clips you would publish. A clip you dislike can be re-cut up to three times on a paid plan.
What should I check before posting a generated clip?
Every clip needs a human look. Selection works from speech, so it can miss a moment that is purely visual, and automatic transcription can misspell names or slang. Check the opening and the ending, the crop and the subtitle spelling, then download only the clips you would post under your own name.
- ClipClap prepares clips but does not publish them, schedule posts or guarantee views.
- Automatic transcription and selection can miss context, names or the strongest moment, so every clip needs a human review.
- Link imports can fail when a platform blocks access. Upload the file instead when that happens.
How long can the source video be?
A paid plan accepts a source of up to 3 hours and 2 GB, at least 60 seconds long.
How many clips does one video produce?
The count depends on the video, not on a quota. A talkative stream or podcast with several self-contained moments gives more clips, and a quiet recording gives few. If nothing strong is found you may get one clip flagged as low quality, or none, instead of a padded list. Billing follows the source length, not the clip count.
What does a finished clip look like?
Each clip is a 9:16 video file with subtitles burned into the picture, so the text survives when you upload to TikTok, Reels or Shorts. The crop follows the speaker, and a stream with a webcam keeps the webcam in frame. No plan adds a watermark, and every clip comes with a title and a description.
What does an AI clip generator cost?
On paid plans Starter is €3.99 ($4.49) a week for 60 source minutes or €12 ($13.99) a month for 200, Plus is €29 ($32.99) a month for 450, and Max is €89 ($99.99) a month for 1500. Billing counts the video you send, not the clips you keep.
Can I use ClipClap from Telegram?
Yes. Send a link or a file to @clipclapio_bot and the finished clips come back as video files in the same chat. The browser version does the same job and is easier when you want to review several clips on a larger screen. Both use one account, so your balance is shared.
Does it work on languages other than English?
The speech is transcribed in the language it is spoken in, and subtitles follow that language. Paid plans can also translate subtitles, titles and descriptions into one of 15 languages. Check names and slang in any language before you post.
