Use AI Clipper to turn a recording into shorter videos you can review, edit and publish. Start with a completed video you own or have permission to use. You do not need to connect a social account just to make and download clips.
Start with one recording
Open Clipper in the app, or explore the examples and available controls first.
Open the Clipper Explore clipping features1. Bring an accessible source
Paste a link to a single public YouTube video, Twitch VOD or clip, or Kick VOD or clip. Use a completed stream recording rather than an ongoing live stream. Channel and playlist URLs belong in different workflows.
If the source is a file, use the upload option. For private or restricted material, obtain an authorised video file from the owner. A public viewing URL does not itself grant reposting permission.
2. Choose what you want back
- Clip count and length: pick how many candidates you want and the length range that suits the moment.
- Layout: Blur Fill keeps the frame with a blurred background; Center Crop crops the sides; Smart Reframe follows the subject.
- Output ratio: choose 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 or 4:5.
- Captions: choose a caption style and the source language, or use automatic language detection.
- Focus: describe the moments you are interested in, such as clear explanations or funny reactions with enough setup.
Optional settings include visual-moment selection, speaker tracking, auto zoom, filler removal, emoji captions, two-camera cuts, sound hits and cutaways from the source. Switch on the effects that help your footage.
3. Review the candidates
Watch each result without assuming the viewer knows the original session. Keep the setup, the important action and the payoff. A score can help you compare candidates, but it does not guarantee views or revenue.
Check names, jokes, corrections and overlapping speech against the source. Preview the frame at phone size to confirm that captions and the crop do not hide the event.
4. Refine the finished clip
- Caption fixes: correct individual words and save the changes for a re-render.
- Trim: adjust the beginning or ending when the clip needs a different boundary.
- Text overlays: edit the text placed over the video.
- Brand logo: add and position your own logo where it belongs.
Wait for a re-render to finish before judging the new version. If an edit fails, inspect its status and retry the edit rather than assuming the change was applied.
Save names and spellings
The Names and spellings setting accepts one name, brand or term per line. You can also save a correction using the format misheard -> correct. For example, prolific -> Prolifik tells the caption workflow how to spell the brand.
Save the rules for a brand when you want to reuse them on later jobs. Always check the finished captions.
5. Download or publish
Download a finished clip, post it now, or choose a publishing time. Social publishing needs the relevant connected account and permission to post to it. Check the destination account and caption before confirming.
Prolifik supports publishing to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and X. For the wider workflow, see the scheduler and the social accounts guide.
Work with several recordings
The batch workflow accepts up to 10 supported video links at a time. Each recording becomes its own job. Review the total source duration before submitting, since every job uses clipping minutes.
Monitor a YouTube channel
Open Discover in Clipper and add a YouTube channel URL, handle or channel ID. Prolifik checks for new uploads. Configure auto-clipping when you want those recordings to become new jobs with saved settings.
Monitoring currently targets YouTube channels. Import Twitch and Kick recordings manually. Automatic publishing is a separate choice from automatic clipping, so you can retain a review step.
Monitored jobs use the same clip-minute balance as manual jobs. Keep enough allowance for the source durations you expect to process.
Caption the whole video
Choose Caption the whole video when you want one captioned result without moment selection. This mode accepts a source up to 15 minutes long. Use the normal clipping mode when you want shorter candidates from a longer recording.
Understand clipping minutes
A clipping minute is one minute of source video submitted. It is independent of how many output clips you keep. Each job has a 5-minute minimum. Failed jobs are refunded.
| Plan | Monthly source minutes |
|---|---|
| Lite | 60 |
| Starter | 360 |
| Pro | 1,400 |
The 7-day trial includes 30 clipping minutes and needs no card. A trial job must fit the remaining trial balance. Start with a shorter authorised source if your recording exceeds it. See pricing for the complete plan allowances.
If a job does not finish
- Check whether the original recording is still available and accessible.
- Check the job's status and error before submitting the same source again.
- Confirm that the source fits your remaining balance and the selected mode.
- For an editing failure, check whether the edit was applied or needs a retry.
- If you need help, contact info@getprolifik.com with the job ID, time and error text.
