A Free, Open-Source AI Clipping Tool for Every Creator
The creator economy is built on speed, quality, and the ability to share compelling stories across multiple platforms. But the best tools for the job are often locked behind expensive subscriptions, complicated cloud workflows, and restrictive watermarks. We believe there’s a better way.
Today, we’re incredibly excited to introduce Clips, an open-source AI clipping tool built by creators, for creators. We decided to build a free, powerful alternative that runs right on your machine, giving you complete control over your content and your creativity
Why We Built Clips
As a small but mighty team, we saw a clear need within the creator community. Too many essential tools are locked behind expensive recurring subscriptions and watermarks, limiting creative potential. We believe creators deserve powerful software without the price tag, so we decided to build the solution and open-source it for everyone. This is our way of giving back to the community that inspires us and helping creators everywhere tell their stories..
Our mission is to take down the subscription model for essential creator tools and empower the next generation of storytellers.
Meet Your Personal AI Video Editor
Clips is a powerful application that uses AI to automate the most tedious parts of video editing. It analyzes your content, identifies viral moments, and gives you the tools to perfect them for any platform. Because it runs locally, your files stay on your computer, ensuring total privacy.
Powerful Features, Zero Cost
We’ve packed Clips with features designed to streamline your workflow and generate your content as fast as possible.
AI Auto-Clipping & Other Exciting Features!
Upload Videos of your Choice: Stop scrubbing through hours of footage. Simply upload your video from your computer or import it from a YouTube link. Our AI watches the entire video generates the transcripts, identifies the most engaging and shareable segments, and generates a collection of clips complete with summaries.
Gaming Mode: Built for Streamers: We built a dedicated feature for gaming content. With Gaming Mode, you can easily separate your webcam feed from your gameplay footage. This allows you to create the popular multi-layered, 9:16 vertical clips perfect for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels, capturing every reaction and epic play.
AI Smart Re-framing: Turning wide-screen content into vertical video can be a chore of manual keyframing. Our AI Smart Re-framing feature solves this. It automatically detects the primary subject in your video—like a person's face in a podcast—and intelligently crops the shot to keep them perfectly centered in a vertical 9:16 frame. This makes creating compelling, professional-looking Reels and Shorts from your existing content effortless.
**Real-Time Captions: **Make your content more accessible and engaging with automatic, real-time captions. Clips generates accurate transcripts for your videos, helping you capture a wider audience. We are still working on various methods to burn the caption on the videos more gracefully
