You give it a long video — a podcast, stream, interview, or course. It transcribes the audio, finds the moments most likely to perform as short-form clips, and runs a full edit on each one: sentence-locked cuts, face-tracked vertical reframing, captions, motion graphics, music, and color. You get back a scored batch of clips ready to post, each one editable.

Anything long-form with people talking: podcasts, interviews, live streams, webinars, courses, keynotes. The pipeline was built and tested on real, messy footage — multiple speakers, crosstalk, long silences — not curated demos.

Two things. First, the depth of the edit: most tools find a moment and add captions; Cliptica runs an eight-stage post-production pass with sentence-perfect boundaries, seat-locked face tracking, and motion graphics populated from what was actually said. Second, the pricing: honest credits — 1 credit ≈ 1 source minute, flat published rates for AI actions, and an itemized ledger — instead of credits whose value you discover after you've spent them.

Yes. Caption style (chosen from a live visual gallery of 21 presets), layout, accent color, zoom, grade, music, and effects density are all configurable before the run — and your choices override the AI's decisions, always.

Every clip opens in a full browser editor. Trim on sentence boundaries, swap styles, re-crop, re-color, change the music, delete a graphic. AI does the first pass; nothing ships without your say-so unless you want it to.

Vertical 9:16 MP4 at 1080p on every plan, sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Free-plan exports carry the Cliptica watermark; paid plans are clean.

One credit ≈ one minute of source video processed. A 60-minute podcast costs 60 credits whether it yields five clips or fifteen — clips, exports, edits, and re-renders are all free. AI actions that aren't measured in minutes have flat, published rates (AI Auto Edit is 5 credits a run). The full rate card lives on your Usage page.

The game isn't credits — it's hidden exchange rates. Ours are the opposite of hidden: the rate card is public, 1 credit still ≈ 1 source minute, every spend is a line on your ledger with what it bought, and failed jobs refund automatically. If a rate ever changes, existing customers keep their rate for 12 months.

Cliptica warns you before any job that would exceed your balance. You choose: wait for the monthly reset, buy a credit pack (which rolls over for 90 days), or upgrade. There is no automatic overage billing, ever.

Yes, in one click from your account page. Access continues until the end of the paid period. Your exported clips are yours regardless.

Yes — 60 credits a month, the full pipeline, all caption styles, watermarked exports. It exists so you can judge the output on your own footage before paying anything. And during early access, everything is free.

You do. Full commercial rights to everything Cliptica produces from your content, on every plan including Free. We claim no license over your footage beyond what's needed to process it.

No. Your videos are processed to produce your clips and nothing else. They are not used for training, benchmarking, or marketing without your explicit permission.

Finished clips are stored per your plan's window (48 hours on Free, 30 days on Clipper, 90 on Studio) and then deleted. Source uploads are removed after processing completes. Download what you want to keep — we deliberately don't hold your archive hostage.

Only with permission from the rights holder. Professional clippers typically work under an agreement with the creator — that's the arrangement Cliptica is built for. You're responsible for having the rights to what you upload; our terms spell this out.

Transcription and captioning work best in English today. More languages are on the roadmap; accuracy in each will be stated plainly when it ships, not rounded up.
