ClipAI is an AI long-video-to-short-video tool for content creators, with the official website at https://clipai.online/。其核心定位是把一条长视频中隐藏的精彩片段自动提取出来，做成适合社交平台传播的竖屏短片，并完成字幕、重构、评分和发布排期。
[Purpose] ClipAI mainly solves the problem that "most of the best moments in long-form video content are never published." After users upload or import a long video, the system automatically detects segments within it that can stand alone as individual pieces, edits them into short clips, adapts them for short-video platforms, and finally schedules them for unified publishing. Typical uses listed by the official site include: turning podcasts into TikTok clips, turning long YouTube videos into Shorts, turning Twitch VODs into short clips, automatically adding subtitles for Shorts/Reels/TikTok, repurposing webinar recordings into clips, turning interviews into shareable clips, turning sermon videos into social media clips, turning course videos into marketing clips, and more.
[Main capabilities]
- AI clip detection: The official site says it uses Claude to score each segment of a video by virality, emotional appeal, and standalone comprehensibility, automatically cutting out the strongest clips.
- Viral score: Each clip receives a score from 0 to 100, across dimensions including hook, emotion, clarity, value, and quotability, helping users prioritize publishing the strongest clips. The first-second hook is scored separately, and a hook title can be burned in at the top of the frame.
- Subtitles, reframing, and dubbing: Provides word-by-word burned-in subtitles, supports 99 languages, and positions subtitles to avoid TikTok and Instagram's own buttons; automatically crops widescreen source material into 9:16 vertical format and tracks speaker movement; provides AI voice dubbing.
- Multi-platform scheduling: Can publish from a single calendar to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Threads, and Bluesky, with X marked as "coming soon." Among these, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Threads, and Bluesky can publish natively according to schedule; TikTok clips enter the TikTok inbox as drafts, and users complete and publish them within the TikTok app.
- Tracking links and attribution: Each clip has a tracking link, so you can see the clicks and conversions it brings.
- Clipper campaigns: Can provide creators with ready-made clips and track the view count of each post, paying per thousand views.
- Closed-loop score verification: The official site emphasizes that its scoring is different from tools that "just give a score"—after publishing, ClipAI compares its predictions with real playback data, so users can see how close the predictions were, and over time can also see hook, emotion,Which dimensions such as clarity truly affect one's own data.
- Subtitle styles: five one-click styles are provided, and an editor can also be opened to customize font, size, color, stroke, and word-by-word highlighting; A/B variants are supported, rendering the same clip into different styles so the version with the better effect can be selected for publishing.
- For AI agents: an official MCP server is provided, with the command npx clipai-mcp. Claude or other agents can complete operations such as importing videos, listing scored clips, rendering clips, and scheduling publishing in one sentence. API access is also provided.
[How to use] The basic workflow officially described is: after raw material is input, AI scores every moment of the video and cuts out the strongest clips; then subtitles are burned in, automatically reframed to 9:16, speakers are tracked, and dubbing is added; then publishing is scheduled from a calendar to six platforms; finally, through tracking links and real playback data, users can see what content actually works. Users do not need to edit manually—after uploading or importing a video, clips are presented as already edited, already subtitled, already reframed, and already scored, and the editor is used only when machine results need to be overridden.
[Applicable scenarios] Suitable for podcasters, YouTube creators, Twitch streamers, course creators, marketers, religious content creators, and others who need to reuse long videos as social short clips. It is also suitable for users who want to use AI agents to automate the video clip workflow.
[Limitations and notes] The official description does not state support for platforms other than TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, and the upcoming X. Regarding scoring accuracy, the official statement says that accuracy statistics include only non-YouTube posts, due to YouTube's API policy. The method for obtaining real playback data varies by platform: after pasting the link of any published post, YouTube views are filled in automatically, and views for Threads posts published by ClipAI are also filled in automatically; Bluesky has no views, so its likes, replies, and reposts are used; TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms require users to enter the numbers manually. Three days after pasting the link, the official service will send the results by email alongside the scores. Regarding pricing, the official offering is a single plan: $4.99 per month, or $49.90 per year (about $4.16 per month, saving 17%), including clip detection and virality scoring, subtitles and speaker tracking, six-platform scheduling, A/B variants, dubbing, closed-loop analytics, as well as agent-oriented MCP and API access, no watermark, 50 videos per month, fair use; a one-day free trial is available, no credit card required; paid plans can be canceled in two clicks in settings, and clips can always be downloaded.
