Built on AssemblyAI for transcripts, Remotion for the render layer, Anthropic Claude for scoring, and AWS Lambda for the parallel fan-out — the same pieces the bigger tools quietly use under the hood.
Who it's for
AutoAIClips is for the solo podcaster who knows the best minute of Monday's episode is buried at 47:12 and doesn't have a third hand to find it. For the interview show cutting Hindi-English bilingual guests where every other tool butchers a name on screen.
For the coach who needs a square clip for LinkedIn, a vertical for Reels, and a 16:9 for their own channel — all from the same 45-minute lecture. And for the agency operator running eleven client pages who is one duplicated brand kit away from quitting.
How it actually works
This is a real log from a 2 h 51 m podcast episode. We don't hide the pipeline behind a marketing animation — you can watch your own run scroll past in the dashboard.

What's in the box
Most clip tools stop after captions. We didn't. The same job that ranks your top 10 also reframes faces, renders three aspects, and applies your brand kit — without you opening a second tab.
Karaoke captions
Powered by AssemblyAI. Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, Marathi, and Telugu are first-class — same animation, same color match, no second tool.
Auto-reframe
Face tracking per frame. Never cuts off a head.
One job, three aspects
Reels, LinkedIn, and YouTube from the same paste.
Brand kit + open layer
Per-workspace brand kits for agencies. BYO OpenAI / Anthropic for power users. Self-host the render layer on Docker if you must.
The thesis
A long-form video is not ten thousand frames waiting to be cropped. It is five or six minutes that will travel — buried inside two hours that won't. The job is finding them. Everything after that is rendering.
— what we believe, written on the whiteboard before we wrote any code
Bilingual interview shows
Hindi caption accuracy is the line. Every other tool gets the timing right and butchers the names — and a clip with a name spelled wrong does not get posted.
Weekly podcasters
A clip credit running out on Thursday morning is the most expensive moment of the week. You have already shot, edited, and queued — and the tool quietly stops working.
Pulled from creator-research conversations we ran while designing the product. When real customer quotes come in, this section becomes a wall of those instead — and we will say so.
Four promises
Most landing pages are a list of what a tool does. The honest version is the one with the line in the sand. Here's ours — and where the alternatives draw it differently.
Opus Clip and Vizard meter you by credits. We don't. One flat price; render as many clips as your source plan allows. No "ran out mid-week" emails.
Bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic key from the settings page. The scoring prompts live in our open repo. If our pricing ever stops making sense, you keep the recipe.
Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, Marathi, and Telugu get the same karaoke animation, the same hook scoring, the same word-level timing — not a fallback transcription dumped into the same template.
Free is three sources a month with no watermark on the captions. We'd rather a creator try us once than churn out a branded billboard for a tool they'll resent.
If we break any of these in a future release, we will say so in the changelog, in plain English, on the day we ship the change. You should be able to leave us without writing to support.
Pricing
No watermark on paid plans. No long-term contract. Cancel any time, from the same dashboard you paid on.
Best value for daily creators.

From the desk of —
I built AutoAIClips because the alternatives wanted $95/month and a credit meter that ran out mid-week.
I host a podcast on the side. Every Monday I would burn three hours on a scrub bar, two more on captions, and one more on aspect ratios — then Opus Clip would do the same job, charge me, and quietly run out of credits on Thursday.
This is what I wished existed. Flat pricing. The same Remotion + AssemblyAI stack the big tools quietly use under the hood. Indic captions that don't butcher names. An open render layer you can self-host the day we mess up.
If something breaks, I read every email at the address below. Most fixes ship the same week. The ones that don't, I'll tell you why.
P.S. — If you're here from Opus Clip and worried about migration: paste a YouTube link to compare the two on the same source. You don't need a card. You don't need to delete anything. Just see.
Frequently asked
AutoAIClips is an AI-powered clipping tool that turns any long-form YouTube video, podcast, or interview into ten viral-ready short clips. It ranks the most clip-worthy moments, auto-reframes to 9:16, burns in word-perfect captions, and renders branded MP4s for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
AutoAIClips uses the same long-form-to-shorts pipeline — auto clip selection, 9:16 reframe, animated captions — but adds bring-your-own AI key support (OpenAI or Anthropic), aspect-ratio variants (9:16, 1:1, 16:9) produced in a single job, and a self-hosting option via Docker.
YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram (Reels and posts). AutoAIClips handles the download, cookie walls, and bot detection — you just paste a link.
Yes. Captions are transcribed by AssemblyAI in 50+ languages with word-level timing, then burned in using stylable templates with brand-matched colors and animated highlights.
Weekly ($9.99) is best if you want to try Pro for a single launch or a short campaign — 8 long-form imports per week, cancel anytime. Monthly ($29) is the better value for daily creators: 30 long-form imports per month, which works out to roughly one video per day.
No — they ship with the hosted product. If you self-host, set YT_DLP_BIN and FFMPEG_BIN to your installed binaries.
You can bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key, or use the included scoring engine on hosted plans. Switch between them by setting CLIPPING_LLM_PROVIDER.
A 30-minute long-form video usually returns the top 10 ranked candidates in under 4 minutes, including caption generation. Render time depends on output length.
Yes. Both Weekly and Monthly Pro plans cancel from the billing portal in one click — no contract, no retention call, no questions asked. You keep access through the end of the current billing period.
