AI CLIP MAKER
The AI clip maker that cuts full thoughts, not random seconds
ClipFlap is an AI clip maker: paste a YouTube or Google Drive link, or upload a video up to 8 GB, and it makes short vertical clips from the passages that stand on their own, with word-timed captions and a cover title. You review, adjust the boundaries and publish.

Add the source video
Paste a public YouTube link, a supported Google Drive link or upload a file up to 8 GB. Pick the spoken language (24 supported) and a clip-length preference, or let the length follow each moment.

Let the clip maker read the transcript
The whole recording is transcribed, then read for complete thoughts: a claim with its setup, a story with its ending, an answer with its question. Weak passages are skipped instead of padded into filler clips.

Get vertical clips, not a timeline
Each moment is cut on full sentences, reframed to 9:16 around whoever is speaking (a stacked split screen when two people alternate), captioned word by word and given a cover title and a score.

Review, adjust, publish
Move a boundary, change the cover title or the caption style, then download the MP4 or publish to YouTube, TikTok or Instagram from the results page.
What separates an AI clip maker from a video cutter
A video cutter trims a file where you tell it to. An AI clip maker decides where the clip should start and end by reading what was said, and that decision is what saves the editing time: the boundaries land on complete sentences, the frame follows the speaker, and the captions are already typeset in the language of the recording. If the output still needs a timeline pass, the tool has only moved the work.
ClipFlap keeps that decision reviewable. Every clip shows its transcript, its boundaries can be adjusted, and the number of clips follows the source: a dense forty-minute interview holds more usable moments than an hour of housekeeping, and the dashboard shows what it found rather than filling a quota.
Sources the clip maker handles
Podcasts and interviews with one or two people on camera, livestream replays with a webcam and gameplay, talks and webinars with slides, and phone-shot vertical video. Two-voice conversations can use a stacked split screen so both people stay visible; a gaming stream keeps the webcam and the game in a two-panel layout instead of a moving crop.
Captions are burned into the file in 24 languages, including Arabic, where ClipFlap aims to keep the dialect as spoken; review names and local words before publishing. The rendered clip is 1080×1920, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts without a re-export.

Is the AI clip maker free to use?+
The free trial includes 10 minutes of processing with no card, and trial clips carry a visible ClipFlap watermark. Paid plans and the pay-as-you-go wallet remove the watermark and bill per minute of source video, never per clip.
Which video formats and sources work?+
YouTube links, supported Google Drive links and uploaded video files up to 8 GB. Select a time range on a long source so only the part you want is processed and counted against your minutes.
Can I choose the clip length?+
Yes. Pick a short, medium or long preference, or the automatic mode that lets each clip follow the natural length of its moment. Boundaries always snap to complete sentences, and you can move them afterwards.
Does it work for gaming streams and two-person podcasts?+
Yes. A stream with a webcam and gameplay gets a two-panel layout; a two-voice podcast can get a stacked split screen when both people alternate in the same shot. A single speaker is reframed vertically around the face.
How is an AI clip maker different from an AI clip generator?+
In practice the two names describe the same job: software that reads a long video and turns it into short clips. ClipFlap's clip generator page focuses on starting from a YouTube link; this page covers any source, including uploads and Google Drive.
