Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Clip-Short and our AI video editing tools.
Clip-Short is a set of AI video tools for short-form video: AI clipping (long videos into short clips), auto captions, reframing (changing a video's shape), an AI Agent that makes a whole video from an idea, and a video editor in the browser.
Creators, podcasters, streamers, social media managers and anyone who wants short videos without spending hours editing, including faceless channels that tell stories with pictures and a voice.
No. Clip-Short (clip-short.com, with a hyphen) is a different product from a different company.
You download a video file and post it wherever you like. 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.
Paste a YouTube link or upload a video. The AI watches and listens to it, picks the moments most likely to hold attention, and scores each clip. Every clip is prepared vertical with captions, and you can trim it, change its framing, fix its captions and export it.
MP4, MOV, WebM and most other video files, or a YouTube link.
A video uses as many of your plan's minutes as it is long, so the limit is the minutes you have left: the free plan has 60 a month, and each Pro bundle 300. Reframe takes videos up to 30 minutes long.
Captions come from speech recognition, so they are only as good as the audio: clear speech with little music comes out best. You can fix any word before you export.
Captions are written in the language spoken in the video; they are not translated. English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian and Arabic among others. The AI Agent narrates videos in 11 languages.
Yes. Pick one of the caption templates, and in the editor change the font, colours, size and position.
Changing a video's shape, for example from 16:9 to 9:16, by moving a crop through it. The AI follows faces and the most important things in each shot so they stay in frame.
A 9:16 frame shows about a third of a 16:9 picture, so something is always left out. The AI chooses what to keep shot by shot; where it chooses wrong, you can move the crop for that shot yourself or split the frame between two people.
It makes a whole video from an idea: it writes the script, makes the pictures, records the voiceover and adds captions and background music. You can change any scene before you export.
Stories (horror, legends, history, kids' stories), facts and explainers, top-5 countdowns, quizzes, "would you rather" videos, chat stories and POV videos.
Pro is sold in bundles of US$15 a month. Each bundle gives 5 hours of video processing and 10 AI Agent videos, and you can take 1 to 10 bundles and change the number anytime.
Yes. Every account gets 1 hour of video processing and 1 AI Agent video a month, free. Videos made on the free plan carry a small clip-short.com watermark.
You can add bundles anytime, or wait for your next billing period. On Pro, what you did not use carries over to the next period, up to one period's worth.
Yes. You keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for.
No. Clip-Short runs in the browser, on a computer or a phone.
It depends on the video's length: the AI Agent makes a video in a few minutes, and a long video takes longer to clip. You can close the page; we email you when a project is ready.
Your videos are stored in Google Cloud Storage and only your account sees them, unless you share one. To do the work, they are processed by the AI services we use. We do not sell or publish your videos, and you can delete a project at any time.
