Free AI clip generator: long videos to shorts
Drop in a podcast, interview or stream. AI finds the moments worth posting, crops each to the speaker, adds captions and ranks them best first. Your free credits clip a 2-minute video into 1 short.

Why clip with AI
What it does for you, on the free plan and every plan after it.
Skip the rewatch
AI reads everything that was said and picks the moments with a strong start and a clear point. No scrubbing through an hour.
The speaker stays in frame
The crop follows whoever is talking and cuts to the next person when they start. No keyframing.
Ranked and ready to post
Each short gets a score out of 10, a title and a post caption with hashtags. Post the best one first.
What the free plan gets you
Credits, not a countdown. Every account starts with a one-time grant of 100 credits, and this tool bills against it at a published rate, so "free" comes to an exact amount.
| Plan | Price | Credits | 5 min video → 3 shorts | 30 min video → 5 shorts | 60 min video → 5 shorts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freeno card$0100 credits | $0 | 100 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Starter$25/mo2,500 credits | $25/mo | 2,500 | 10 | 2 | 1 |
| Pro$99/mo10,000 credits | $99/mo | 10,000 | 41 | 9 | 5 |
You pay half a credit a second of source, for the transcript and the search, plus 30 credits for each short you ask for. A 60-minute podcast into 5 shorts is 1,950 credits ($19.50), inside one month of Starter.
What is free, and what is not
The limits stated plainly, including the ones that will affect you.
- No watermarkEvery short is a clean MP4 on every plan, free included.
- Captions and speaker tracking includedWord-by-word captions and the crop that follows the speaker come with every clip.
- Four shapesVertical 9:16 by default, or 4:5, square or wide.
- Free covers a short videoThe free 100 credits clip up to 2 min 20 s of video into 1 short, or 1 min 20 s into 2. A full episode needs a plan.
- At most 5 shorts a videoAsk for 1 to 5; a video without that many strong moments gives fewer. Each short runs up to about 90 seconds.
- Trim clips in the editorThe clipper doesn't edit. Open a short in AI Studio to trim it, and pick the caption look before you start, because captions are burned in.
