Short answers about how Clipsy works. Still stuck? Reply to any email from us.
What is Clipsy?
Clipsy turns long videos, like podcast episodes and coaching calls, into short vertical clips with captions for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. You upload a video or paste a link and it does the cutting for you.
Who is Clipsy for?
Podcasters and coaches who record long videos and want short clips from them every week without editing by hand.
How does Clipsy pick the clips?
It transcribes the video, then looks for moments with a strong opening line, a clear point and a clean ending. It cuts pauses and adds captions.
How much does Clipsy cost?
You can try it for 7 days for $1. After that, Starter is $19 a month for 200 minutes and Pro is $39 a month for 500 minutes. Yearly plans give 2 months free.
What counts as a minute?
The length of the video you upload. A 30-minute episode uses 30 minutes, no matter how many clips you get. Minutes from a failed job come back to you.
Is there a free plan?
No. There is a 7-day trial for $1 instead. It keeps the queue fast for paying users.
What are credits?
Credits pay for the bigger edits. A Paper or Tier List edit uses credits instead of minutes. Credits cost $1 each in packs of 10, 25 or 60.
What is a Paper edit?
A Paper edit mixes your face with clean paper-card scenes that show your key words big. It turns one raw talking-head take into a finished short.
What is a Tier List edit?
When you rank things on camera, Clipsy puts an S, A, B and C board over you and drops each item into its tier as you say it, with a picture and a stat line.
Can I fix the captions?
Yes. Before a Paper or Tier List edit renders, you see every word and can fix any mistake. Then it renders with your fixes.
Which video formats work?
MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM and M4V uploads up to 2 GB, or a YouTube link.
Do you use my videos to train AI?
No. Files are deleted 7 days after a job, and we never use your videos to train AI models.
Can I clip other creators' videos?
Only if you have the right to, like your own content or a creator's official clipping program. You stay responsible for what you upload and post.
