Cliphi is an AI video editing tool for short video creation, with the core purpose of automatically converting long videos into vertical short videos suitable for distribution on social platforms. According to the official introduction, it can convert podcasts, live streams, and long videos into YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Reels, and automatically add subtitles and music, allowing publication within minutes.
Main capabilities include:
- Automatic highlight detection: Paste a link to a podcast, gameplay recording, interview, tutorial, or any long video, and Cliphi scans the content to find the most engaging moments and scores each clip's viral potential. Each detected moment generates a complete vertical clip with automatically applied animated subtitles, AI background music, speaker tracking, and perfect framing. Custom prompts are supported to find specific types of moments. It also works for live streams, and clips can be generated while the live stream is still in progress.
- Speaker tracking: Active speaker detection tracks faces frame by frame, keeping the speaker centered as they move. Vertical clips automatically frame the current speaker, multi-person content uses smart grid layouts, and transitions between speakers are natural and smooth.
- Animated subtitles: Word-by-word animated subtitles are perfectly synchronized with speech, offering styles such as TikTok word pop, smooth fade-in, bounce, or highlight. Fonts, colors, sizes, and positions can be customized. AI transcription supports multiple speakers, accents, and background noise, with accuracy over 95%. Each clip is watchable muted by default.
- AI background music: Each clip gets custom AI-generated instrumental music that matches its mood and energy. The system analyzes the content (transcript, title, emotional tone) and creates a perfect track. The music automatically adjusts to the clip length and fades out smoothly. Smart ducking keeps speech clear.
- Publishing descriptions and publishing management: Each clip comes with AI-written ready-to-use publishing descriptions and hashtags optimized for the publishing platform. Social accounts can be connected to publish directly from Cliphi or schedule timed publication. Each clip can also be downloaded with the correct aspect ratio, embedded subtitles, and publishing description.
- Reaction recording: You can record your face or voice on any clip. As the clip plays, you speak, and the reaction lands exactly where you want it. The camera appears as a draggable bubble (voice-only is also possible), the original audio automatically ducks, and your words become the clip's animated subtitles.
How to use it: The official description gives five steps—paste a YouTube link (or upload your own file; live streams can also be processed); AI finds the best moments; get clips ready to publish; customize as needed; publish or schedule timed publication.
Use cases: Long-form video content creators such as podcasters, game streamers, interviewers, and tutorial creators who want to quickly generate short videos suitable for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels.
Limitations and notes: The official notice states that using videos you do not own may violate copyright law, and continued use requires confirming that you have the right to use the video. Regarding common questions such as whether a downloadable app is provided, whether mobile use is supported, how to download Cliphi or clips, how long clip generation takes, and supported aspect ratios, the official page lists the questions but does not provide specific answers, so these details are not currently provided.
