How it works

Six models.
One pipeline.
Zero busywork.

Upload once. The pipeline transcribes, segments by topic, scores emotional peaks, evaluates visual framing, ranks virality, and renders captioned exports — all before your coffee gets cold.

What teams say

Loved by the people who actually ship.

Unfiltered notes from teams running Clipper.ai in production. Pulled from in-app feedback, Twitter, and customer interviews.

Clipper just gets it. The hook generation alone saved me 4 hours last week.

JP
Jenna Park
Senior Producer · NPR

The reframe model handles screen-share interviews better than I can manually.

DC
David Chen
Tech podcaster · 1.2M subs

Word-level timestamps are the unlock. Suddenly we can search our entire archive.

AC
Aisha Cole
Archive Director · BBC Sounds

I run a one-person shop. Clipper makes me feel like I have a team of three.

MT
Mia Tanaka
Folio Studios

Their custom virality tuning beat my agency's benchmarks by 23%. Insane.

CM
Carlos Mendez
Director · Northwind

Honestly? It's the most-used tool in our content stack this year. Including Premiere.

AH
Ahmed Hassan
Head of Video · Quartz Labs

The virality scoring is shockingly accurate. We post the top 3 every time and they all land.

MW
Marcus Webb
Head of Content · CFA Daily

Approval workflows are exactly right. We don't accidentally ship raw cuts anymore.

PS
Priya Singh
VP Content · Quartz Labs

Their virality model genuinely predicts hits. We've started letting it greenlight.

LO
Liam O'Brien
Head of Strategy · Compass Pod

The cohort onboarding is real. Sarah from their team reviewed our setup personally.

BS
Ben Schwartz
Producer · Apex Audio

The API is the cleanest I've worked with. We had it integrated in an afternoon.

YW
Yuki Watanabe
Engineering · Quartz Labs

Went from 6 clips/week to 84. My editor doesn't want to ever go back.

SO
Sara Okafor
Lattice Media

My ROI in week one was 11x. By week three, we cancelled three other tools.

TR
Tomas Reyes
Founder · Beacon FM

SOC 2 + on-prem option was the only reason legal approved it. Grateful they shipped it.

JH
Jordan Hwang
CISO · Halo Network

Latency under 50ms across the EU means we can ship same-day to TikTok DE.

AB
Anna Becker
DACH Lead · Meridian

I tried Opus and Vizard. Clipper is the only one that doesn't cut mid-thought.

We're building Clipper.ai because we needed it ourselves.

Before Clipper, Sarah ran content for a 12-show podcast network and Marcus shipped ML pipelines at a streaming platform. Both of us watched great long-form content die in the gap between "we recorded it" and "we promoted it."

The existing tools were either dumb (chop the loudest moments and ship) or hostile (Adobe-tier complexity for a 30-second clip). Neither matched how modern media teams actually work — fast, iteratively, with a real sense of what's working this week.

So we built it. The pipeline. The whole stack. We're shipping it carefully — cohorts of 200 — because we want the early product to feel like a craft tool, not a beta.

Join the private beta.

We onboard in cohorts of 200 to keep the pipeline tuned and the support tight. Early users keep their pricing forever and shape what we ship next.

Frequently asked

The answers to the questions we keep getting.

Don't see yours? Email us — we read everything.

Cohort 03 opens June 12, 2026. We onboard 200 teams per cohort to keep support tight and gather real signal on what to build next. You get an email with your activation link within 24 hours of cohort open.
Yes — early access pricing is locked for life (Studio at $39/editor/mo instead of $49), and Cohort 01-03 members get a permanent badge in their workspace and direct Slack access to the founders. We listen disproportionately to early users when shaping the roadmap.
Every cohort member gets a 14-day full-feature trial. No card required. If it doesn't earn its keep, you cancel and walk away — no friction, no retention emails.
Two things, both honest. (1) Workflow depth — approval flows, brand kits, comment threads, and team seats are first-class, not bolt-ons. The competitors index hard on solo creators; we built for media teams from day one. (2) Reasoning you can read — every clip score comes with a written explanation of why we picked it, so editors can argue with the model and override. Most tools just output ranked clips with a number and hope you trust it.
Never. Our models improve from anonymized aggregate signal — never from your specific videos. You can also opt out of aggregate contribution entirely with one toggle in settings.
Whisper-Large covers 99 languages for transcription. Our virality scoring and hook generation are currently strongest in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Mandarin — with French, German, and Japanese in active training for Q3 2026.
