How it works

One upload. A full post-production pass. A folder of clips.

Here's exactly what happens between dropping in a video and downloading the results — no black box, because you shouldn't trust an editor you can't audit.

Step 01 — you

Bring the footage

Upload a file or paste a link. Set your style before the run if you want — caption style from the visual gallery, layout, accent color, zoom, music — or let Cliptica decide. Your choices always override the AI's.

Step 02 — the pipeline

The machine edits

Everything below happens automatically, in sequence, on every video. Most jobs finish in minutes, not hours.

Step 03 — you again

Review, adjust, export

Clips arrive scored and sorted. Publish the winners as-is, open any of them in the editor to adjust, and export in 9:16 at 1080p.

Inside step 02

What the pipeline actually does

StagePassWhat happens
01TranscribeWord-level transcription with timestamps and punctuation attached to the right words — the foundation every later stage builds on.
02Find the momentsSpecialized agents — story, hook, judge — score every candidate segment for virality. Weak moments are cut from the batch, not padded into it.
03Lock the boundariesAn eight-step pipeline snaps each clip's start and end to finished sentences within 0.10 seconds, with silence-gap fallbacks for messy audio.
04Write the hookMultiple headline candidates are generated, scored, and filtered through validator gates that reject filler, fragments, and AI-sounding phrasing.
05Frame the speakerFace detection plus a seat-lock model reframes to 9:16 and holds the subject steadily — through head turns, gestures, and cuts.
06CaptionYour chosen style renders with active-word highlighting, two-line legibility layout, and stability logic. Emoji placed by meaning at your chosen density.
07Add the graphicsStat cards, charts, and callouts appear where the speech supports them, populated with the exact figures spoken — density-capped and varied.
08Mix and gradeMusic under the voice at sensible levels, sound effects placed sparingly, colors synced to your accent — then the final render.
Principles

Rules the pipeline never breaks

Never cut mid-sentence

A clip that opens mid-word reads as amateur. Boundaries are locked to sentences, verified twice — before and after every adjustment.

Never invent numbers

Motion graphics only display figures the speaker actually said. If the transcript doesn't contain it, the graphic doesn't show it.

Never bury the speaker

Captions, emoji, and graphics are placed around the subject, density-capped, and mode-aware — the person stays the point.

Read enough. Run it on something real.

Your first video takes about as long as reading this page did.
