AI clip maker

Long video in. Clips that follow the speaker out.

MasterClip picks the moments worth posting from a podcast, interview or talk, keeps whoever is talking in frame, and adds captions.

30 free minutes a month. No card needed.

Two clip cards from one video. Each shows its rank, a hook label, captions, the clip's length and a score.

It reads the whole transcript and pulls the moments that open strong and land their point. Each clip gets a title and a score out of 100.

What the AI does

Built for conversations, not only one person on camera

It finds the moments worth posting, then frames each one around the person speaking.

The lower half of a clip card: the clip's length, its buttons, a score of 72, a title and the start of the transcript.

Picks the moments worth posting

It reads the whole transcript and pulls complete thoughts. Each clip comes back with a title, a hook label and a score out of 100, with the best clip first.

The Format list on the submit form, open on its four shapes: 9:16 Vertical, 1:1 Square, 4:5 Portrait and 16:9 Wide.

One video, four shapes

Vertical 9:16, square 1:1, portrait 4:5 or wide 16:9. Pick the shape when you submit the video. Vertical, square and portrait clips follow the speaker. Wide clips show the whole picture.

  • The camera follows whoever is talking

    In a two-person podcast it cuts to the person speaking and splits the screen when both talk.

  • No black frames, no frozen frames

    Every clip is checked frame by frame before you see it. A clip that fails the check is left out.

  • Slides stay readable

    When a slide or shared screen is on, the clip shows the whole thing instead of cropping the text off.

How it works

From a link to finished clips in three steps

1 credit is 1 minute of video, and the Free plan adds 30 credits a month.

  1. Step 1

    Paste a link or upload

    A YouTube, Instagram or Dropbox link, or a video file, up to 60 minutes. Longer video, up to 3 hours? Pick the 60 minutes you want.

  2. Step 2

    AI picks, frames and captions

    It picks the moments, keeps the person talking in frame, and adds captions in the style you chose, with a hook headline on top.

  3. Step 3

    Download your clips

    Each clip is an MP4 file with the captions burned in. Change anything first in the clip editor.

Clip editor

Change any clip before you post it

The editor is on every plan, and saving costs no credits.

The clip editor: the transcript with pauses marked on the left, the clip in the middle, caption styles on the right and the timeline along the bottom.
  • Trim either end, or add 3 seconds before or after
  • Delete words in the transcript and the video for them is cut
  • Switch the caption style or position and see it right away
  • Choose how the picture is framed: Auto, Fill, Fit or Tracker off
  • Speech cleanup finds pauses, filler words and bad takes
  • Undo and redo any step

More in your account

Keep every clip on brand and easy to find

A brand template's settings (shape, layout and caption style) beside a preview of a clip with that look.

Brand templates

Save your look once: the clip's shape, captions, your logo, an intro, an outro and music under your voice. Pick it when you start a video and every clip comes out that way. On Starter and Pro.

Collections

Like a clip and it is in Favorites. Make your own collections to group clips from different videos. A clip can be in more than one.

Questions

How does MasterClip work?

Paste a YouTube, Instagram or Dropbox link, or upload a video file. MasterClip picks the moments, keeps the person talking in frame, adds captions, and gives you clips to download.

How long can my video be?

Up to 60 minutes for each video. For a video of up to 3 hours, choose the 60 minutes you want with the time range. Videos longer than 3 hours are not accepted, even with a time range.

How long does it take?

The submit page shows the usual time before you confirm. An uploaded 10 minute video is usually ready in 2 to 10 minutes and a 60 minute video in 15 to 35 minutes, counted from when work on it starts. A link takes a little longer, because the video is fetched first. If other videos are ahead of yours, yours waits first.

What languages does it support?

English only for now.

What is in the free plan?

30 minutes of video a month, and no card is needed. Free clips have a small watermark and are deleted after 3 days, so download the ones you want. The clip editor and 3 Viral Edits are included.

What do the paid plans cost?

Starter is $7 a month for 100 minutes of video. Pro is $21 a month for 250 minutes. Business is $67 a month for 750 minutes. Paying yearly takes 30% off. Clips made on a paid plan have no watermark, and your videos and clips are kept while you are on a paid plan. If the plan ends, they are deleted 3 days later.

Can I change a clip?

Yes, on every plan, and saving costs no credits. Trim it, cut parts out by deleting words in the transcript, change the captions, or change how the picture is framed.

What shapes can a clip be?

Vertical 9:16, square 1:1, portrait 4:5 or wide 16:9. You pick the shape when you submit the video.

What is Viral Edit?

A second, AI edited version of one clip, with zooms, text pops, sound effects, music and cutaways. Your original clip stays as it is. Every account gets 3 to try. After those, Starter gets 5 a month, Pro 15 minutes of clip time a month and Business 60 minutes. It works on vertical clips.

Do I need to own the video?

Yes. Only submit videos you own or have permission to use.
