The first picture becomes the reference for every picture after it, so a character and a style hold from the first scene to the last.

A series makes an episode on the days you pick, from a short drama to a bedtime story every night. It keeps the same cast, remembers what happened before, and asks you before it makes each one.

Reframe

Reframing that
watches every shot.

We built our reframing engine from the ground up. It finds the cuts, the faces and the person talking, then moves a virtual camera through each shot the way an editor would. This is its real analysis of this clip, drawn as it plays.

Faces and the speaker
Each face is mapped point by point. The mouth that moves is the person who talks, and the frame leans to them.
What stands out
A saliency model reads every frame, so a shot with no face still keeps its subject: a hand, a car, a stone.
Every shot on its own
Cuts are found first. Each shot gets its own framing, and the camera never slides across a cut.
Moves like an operator
Per shot it decides to hold still or to follow, and smooths the path so it never jitters.
Two people, too far apart
When one crop cannot hold both, it stacks them, one above the other.
Your call on any shot
Pin the framing of a shot, or split it in two, and see it before anything renders.
Auto Caption

Captions on every word,
timed to the voice.

Upload a video you filmed. Each word lights up as it is said, in a style you can change at any time. Fix any word before you render, and download SRT, VTT or text files too.

The studio

Every tool ends in the same editor.

Start from an idea or from a long video. Each tool hands its work to the same editor, so a clip, a story or a whole series ends in one place, ready to post.

The app

The studio,
as it is.

Not mock-ups. These are the app’s own pages, captured from the product with one of the site’s examples open in each: the create page, a finished video and its agent, the editor, Reframe and Auto Caption.

The AI Agent’s create page: the idea box holds a documentary idea about the Great Pyramid of Giza, with its look, language, length, shape, format and narrator in one line under it and example videos beside it.

An idea starts a video. Here the box holds the idea a published example was made from, word for word, and the line under it says its look, language, length and narrator. More opens each choice.

Questions

Before you start

The short answers. Every other question is on the FAQ page.

All questions
  1. What is Clip-Short?

    Clip-Short (clip-short.com, with a hyphen) is a web app that makes short videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts with AI. Its AI Agent turns a written idea into a narrated, captioned video: script, pictures, voice and music. AI Clipping cuts a long YouTube video or an uploaded file into vertical clips with captions. It also has auto captions, dubbing into English, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, French and German, reframing and a video editor in the browser. The site and the app are in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Egyptian Arabic, French and German, and the free plan needs no card. It is not ClipShort (clipshort.co), a different company.

  2. How long does it take to make a video?

    A few minutes. The AI Agent writes the script, makes the pictures, records the voice and adds captions and music. You can close the page: we email you when the video is ready.

  3. Can I change the video before I post it?

    Yes. Every scene stays editable: swap or redraw a picture, rewrite what the narrator says, restyle the captions or change the music. Then export, or open it in the full editor.

  4. Which languages can it narrate in?

    The AI Agent narrates videos in 30 languages, with the captions in the same language. A finished video can be made again in another language, with the same pictures and the same voice.

  5. Is there a free plan?

    Yes, for clipping. Every account gets 1 hour of video processing a month for AI Clipping, Auto Caption and Reframe, free, with a small clip-short.com watermark. AI Agent videos are paid: a pack of 3 Pro videos for US$6.99, paid once, or Pro.

  6. How much does Clip-Short cost?

    The account and the free plan cost nothing: 60 minutes a month of AI Clipping, Auto Caption and Reframe, with a small watermark. AI Agent videos are paid: US$6.99 for a pack of 3 Pro videos, paid once, or Pro at US$19 a month (US$190 a year) per bundle, with 10 AI videos and 5 hours of processing a month. The Clip pack is US$6.99, paid once, for 120 minutes of clipping without the watermark and 3 remixes.

  7. Where can I post the videos?

    Anywhere: you download an MP4 and post it yourself. Videos come in four shapes: 9:16 for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Facebook Reels, 4:5 and 1:1 for posts, and 16:9 for YouTube.

  8. Does Clip-Short post the videos for me?

    No. Clip-Short never posts for you. You download each video as an MP4 and post it yourself, on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or anywhere else. Clip-Short can write the title and the caption for each platform, and a scheduled post is an email that reminds you to post, not an upload.

  9. Can the AI narrate in my own voice?

    Yes, on paid plans. You record one sentence, and the AI narrates videos of up to 3 minutes in a voice that sounds like yours.

  10. Is my content safe?

    Your videos are stored in Google Cloud Storage and only your account sees them, unless you share one. We do not sell or publish your videos, and you can delete a project at any time.
