Animated captions

Animated captions that move with the voice.

Every clip gets AI auto captions, burned in. On Creator and Pro, pick a look — karaoke, comic, pill, pop or reveal — and the captions animate word by word, timed to the audio.

Live preview

Caption style

KaraokeCreator & Pro

Big all-caps lines; the spoken word flashes green.

Pick a look once on the caption-styles page and it is applied to every new clip. Downloadable .srt subtitles are never animated.

Layouts

Every shot, framed for vertical.

Pick a layout when you add a video. ClipIQ finds the people in it and frames every clip around them — one speaker, a two-person podcast, a three-way call, or a screen recording with your webcam.

Every layout is on every plan, Free included. Fit, Four and Gameplay are there too.

How to turn a long video into Shorts: upload once, review, publish.

At no point do you need to open a video editor.

1

Upload your video

One file, real progress — a podcast episode, a stream VOD, a long-form talk. Or paste a YouTube link and turn that video into Shorts.

2

ClipIQ finds the moments

The AI transcribes it, scores every candidate window, and picks the clips actually worth posting — with its reasoning attached, not just a rank.

3

Review and download

A ranked gallery of captioned, reframed 9:16 clips for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. Play each one in-browser, download what you want to post.

What makes ClipIQ different

Trust the clip because you can see why.

Cutting, reframing, and burning in captions is commodity work — every AI clipping tool does it competently. The hard problem is deciding which 45 seconds out of an hour of footage is actually worth a viewer’s attention. Most tools return a score and hide the reasoning. ClipIQ shows its work.

Why this clip was selected

“Strong cold-open hook in the first three seconds, a concrete claim backed by a specific number, and a clear emotional beat at the payoff — the kind of density that holds attention on a vertical feed.”

Built for

The creator who’d rather make the next episode.

You already believe short clips grow your audience. You just don’t have three extra hours a week to sit in a timeline finding them yourself. ClipIQ is built for the solo creator or small team publishing weekly or biweekly — podcasts, YouTube videos, stream VODs, panel talks — who wants clipping off their plate entirely, not a faster way to do it by hand.

An AI clip generator that does the work for you

AI moment detection

The AI clip finder scores every candidate window on hook strength, pacing, and payoff — not just keyword spotting.

AI auto captions, burned in

Accurate transcription with styling presets, or download the raw SRT if you edit elsewhere. Creator and Pro add word-by-word animated captions.

Vertical video reframing

Every clip is recomposed for 9:16 — no manual cropping, no dead space. Need landscape or square? Export any clip for YouTube, X, LinkedIn or Facebook.

YouTube link or video upload

Paste a YouTube link or drop a file — both feed the exact same pipeline, same quality bar.

The Free plan

Free AI video clipping: here’s exactly where it stops.

No trial timer and no card. You get real, captioned clips from day one — with four honest limits, so nothing surprises you later.

Economy processing

Every upload is analysed on our standard AI models — full moment detection and captions. Auto, with premium models, comes with Creator and Pro.

3 videos a day

3 uploads in any rolling 24 hours, then the next one unlocks as the oldest ages out. Creator and Pro have no daily cap.

5 clips per video

You get the top 5 moments from every video. Creator unlocks 15, Pro 25.

A small watermark

Free exports carry a “Made with ClipIQ” mark. Remove it from any clip for 4 credits, or go Creator and never see it.

500 credits to start, +30 every week

One credit is one minute of video, and every clip it makes is included. Platform exports are 1 each. Your welcome credits never expire.

  1. 1500 credits when you sign up
  2. 2A 30-minute video with 5 clips is 30 — 470 left
  3. 3+30 lands every week

Credit packs from ₹249 work on Free too. They top up credits — the limits above lift only when you subscribe.

Ready for more? Creator takes the limits off.

Everything in Free, without the watermark or the daily cap — plus animated captions, up to 15 clips from every video, and premium processing.

Frequently asked questions

What is ClipIQ?

ClipIQ is an AI video clipping tool. You upload a long video or paste a YouTube link, and it transcribes it, finds the moments most worth posting, and delivers captioned, vertical clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

How do I turn a long video, podcast or YouTube video into Shorts?

Upload the file or paste a public YouTube link, wait a few minutes while ClipIQ transcribes it and scores the moments, then review the ranked clips and download the ones you want. Each one arrives already cut, reframed to 9:16 and captioned.

What video formats can I upload?

MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, and AVI, up to 2GB per file. You can also paste a public YouTube video link instead of uploading a file.

How does ClipIQ decide which moments to clip?

It transcribes the full video, then scores every candidate window for hook strength, pacing, and payoff. Every clip ships with its reasoning attached, so you can see why it was picked, not just a bare score.

Does ClipIQ add captions automatically?

Yes. Every clip is transcribed and captioned, with the captions burned in, and you can download the SRT too. Creator and Pro add animated word-by-word caption styles — karaoke, pill, pop and more.

What kind of videos work best?

ClipIQ picks moments from what is said, so it works best on spoken content — podcasts, interviews, talks, webinars and stream recordings. A video with little or no speech, like a music video, gives it little to work with.

Do I need to edit anything myself?

No. Clips arrive already cut, reframed to 9:16, and captioned — reviewing the ranked shortlist and downloading is the whole workflow.

Which platforms can I export for?

TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts (9:16) come with every upload. YouTube and X (16:9) and LinkedIn and Facebook (1:1) are one click on any clip, at 1 credit per export.

Is ClipIQ a free AI clipping tool?

Yes, there is a free plan and it needs no credit card. Free gives you 3 videos a day, 5 clips per video, economy processing and a small watermark, plus 500 credits (500 minutes of video) to start and 30 more every week. Creator and Pro lift those limits.
