They bill the footage you upload. We bill the footage you pick — and you pick it after we have shown you the stream. No subscription, no watermark, and your credits never expire.
Unlock a single video on its own, or buy credits in bulk. Every pack gets every clip in HD, HD previews and priority processing; bigger packs cost less per credit, and Pro adds dedicated support.
Unlock that one on its own. No pack, no subscription.
Three unlocks cost about what Starter does — and Starter unlocks every video you make from then on, plus 12 credits. Past the second, buy the pack.

Not sure which one? Work out your cost per clip.
Every account gets the full pipeline — the same detection, the same reframing, the same captions — and nothing we hand back is watermarked or expires. Free accounts preview every clip; unlocking a video downloads its clips in full quality, and a pack unlocks everything, buys more credits and moves your videos ahead of free ones in the queue.
What decides which 30 seconds of your stream are worth posting.
A 0–99 rating with the Hook, Arc and Value breakdown behind it, so you know which clip to post first. Free on every plan — where other tools offer this at all, it sits behind a paid tier.
The transcript is split into speech beats first and the AI picks whole beats, so clips start and end where you would have cut them.
Per-second audio analysis catches laughter and crowd reactions, and holds the clip open so the punchline never gets chopped off.
Gaming, podcast, interview, reaction and talking-head each get their own rubric — a good gaming moment is not a good podcast moment.
Gameplay and music videos fall back to audio energy, scene cuts and visual reranking. Those clips come back without subtitles.
Clip count scales with the stretch you clip — two hours or more targets 22, a 10-minute video targets 7. A paid credit covers an hour; a full three hours is three. Free credits cover 10 minutes.
We fetch the video ourselves — no downloading several GB and uploading it again. Paste a YouTube URL, a Twitch VOD, or a Drive share link. Drive links work for the full-length caption burn too; share the file as "Anyone with the link" and paste it.
The part most tools get wrong on gaming and multi-person footage.
Fill, square, split, three-up, four-up, screenshare, gameplay and reaction — the layout changes when the scene does, instead of one crop for the whole clip.
On two-person footage we detect who is actually speaking from mouth movement and put them in the upper pane.
On gameplay we find the webcam box automatically and pin it above a square gameplay view that follows the action.
Faces first, then people and objects, then a general saliency model, and only then a centre crop. Catches people from behind, vehicles and animals.
Already 9:16? We render it natively instead of cropping a crop.
Burned in, styled how you want, timed to the word.
When a speaker mixes two languages mid-sentence, the captions come back in Roman script the way people actually type it — not a literal transliteration. Most AI tools cannot do this at all.
You never pick one from a dropdown. Word-level timing comes from forced alignment, not guesswork.
Including a highlight colour for the active word, and pop or bounce animations.
Size, weight, outline, drop shadow with real blur, background box, position, margin, colours — with a live preview while you set it.
No watermark, no expiry, no subscription.
Including free. Most tools stamp their logo on your free exports and charge to remove it.
Ready to post to Shorts, TikTok or Reels with no re-encoding.
Do not want a whole pack? An export unlock opens every clip from a single project in full quality for a one-time ₹149.90 / $2.99, and they stay in your library with no expiry date. A few of them — three in dollars, five in rupees — cost about what the Starter pack does, and the pack unlocks everything you make afterwards.
They are a one-time purchase and they stack. Nothing to cancel, nothing to use up before a deadline.
Want subtitles on the whole video instead of clips? One credit covers up to 2 hours, at native resolution.
Automatically. You are never charged for output you did not receive.
We are not trying to undercut anyone by a few dollars. We charge for a different unit, and on long videos that gap compounds.

Based on the public pricing pages of the four most-used clipping tools, checked 29 July 2026. See a named, side-by-side breakdown.
One credit clips an hour of the stretch you pick; a full three hours is three. Drag the sliders to your actual workload.
The last two are your numbers — we only do the arithmetic on them. Campaigns advertise $0.20–$6 per 1,000 views, about $1.00 typically.
At your numbers the pack pays for itself after 18 clips — roughly 5 days in.
When a credit is a minute of source video, your 6 videos cost 540 credits — length is what you pay for, not output.
The usual top tier ($29/mo) includes 300 minutes. This workload needs custom pricing — you'd pay $9 with us.
Those plans are monthly and their credits typically expire after 60 days; ours are one-time and never expire, so anything left over rolls into next month. Figures are the published pricing of the leading per-minute clipper, checked 2026-07-29.
Every friend who signs up with your referral link gives you 1 bonus credit — stackable on top of your balance.
Create your free accountAn hour — and you choose which hour. Three credits take a full three hours. The difference between us and per-minute tools is what the meter is pointed at: they bill every minute of the file you upload, we bill the stretch you actually pick. A one-hour podcast is one credit here and 60 metered minutes there, which is 40% of a $15 month.
Most of them bill by the minute of source video, so a single 3-hour VOD burns about 180 of their credits — it does not fit inside a typical $15 month at all. The same three hours is three credits here, around $1.84 on the largest pack. Use the calculator above with your own numbers.
Sign up with no credit card and get 3 free credits. Each one clips up to 10 minutes of a video and hands back a set of ready-to-post Shorts with captions burned in. Paste something longer and you pick which 10 minutes to use — nothing is rejected. You can preview every clip for free. Unlock a single video to download its clips at full quality, or buy any pack to unlock every clip and raise each credit to a full hour.
Then buy just that video. An export unlock is a one-time ₹149.90 / $2.99 and opens every clip from that one project in full quality, with no expiry date — no credits, no pack, no subscription. It is priced so the maths tips after a few: Starter costs about three unlocks in dollars (five in rupees), and it also unlocks every video you make afterwards and adds 12 credits. Buy unlocks while you are occasional, buy a pack once you are not.
No — never. Every pack is a one-time purchase. Credits land in your account and stay there. You only pay again when you want more.
No. There is no expiry date and no monthly reset. Most tools in this category expire unused credits after 30–60 days; we do not.
Yes. Buying Starter (12 credits) and then Clipper (30 credits) gives you 42 credits in your balance. No "use it or lose it".
Never — not on any plan, including free. Every clip you download comes back clean at 1080×1920, with nothing stamped on it. On the free plan clips play at preview quality; a video unlock or any pack plays and downloads them in full HD.
We refund the credit automatically. Same goes if you cancel the job before it finishes — no charge for output you never received.
Yes. Paste a YouTube link or a Twitch VOD link, or upload the file. You are responsible for having the right to use the footage — clip campaigns normally grant it, so check the campaign terms.
MP4, MOV, AVI and WebM, up to 5 GB per upload. You can also skip the upload and paste a YouTube link, a Twitch VOD link or a Google Drive share link — we fetch the video for you.
The language is detected automatically — you never pick one. We also handle code-switched speech, where a speaker mixes two languages mid-sentence, in Roman script — which most AI clippers get wrong.
Yes — invite friends using your referral link. Every friend who joins gives you 1 bonus credit — and them 1 too — on top of your balance.
