Real shorts from the source above, in the order the engine ranked them, with the reason it wrote for each.

    Split Your Work Into Two Buckets: 'Would Do Anyway' vs. 'Only for Money'

    Why. Provides an immediately applicable mental model for self-assessment and priority-setting. Simple, yet profound reframing.

  2. #2 · 78 · 114s

    I Do Sponsorships Only for the Money—And That's Okay

    Why. Vulnerable admission from a successful creator that humanizes the tension between passion and pragmatism. Highly relatable and honest.

  3. #3 · 77 · 23s

    Everyone Wants What They Don't Have: The Grass Is Always Greener

    Why. A meta-insight that reframes the entire 'quit your job' narrative. Makes viewers realize dissatisfaction is universal, shifting perspective from 'escape' to 'optimization.'

  1. 01

    Give it the video

    A link or a file. It is transcribed word by word, which is what every later step reads.

  2. 02

    It picks, then checks its own picks

    Moments are scored from what is said and how. Each candidate is snapped to sentence edges, checked for sense on its own, and de-duplicated against the others.

  3. 03

    You review and post

    Every clip shows its rank, its reason and the quote. Change what you want, then queue to 10+ platforms through Schedulala.

Which one is you

Pick the closest.

Talking to camera, then walking. Both work.

A static talking head is the easy case. A walk-and-talk is where most tools give up; the tracker follows you and the coherence check drops the clips where the story does not survive.

Clip a vlog

An AI clip maker you can argue with

Each clip carries the sentence it was picked for and the reason it scored. When the engine is wrong, you can see why, and drop it in one click. A score with no reason is a guess you cannot check.

Make clips

Clips that do not start mid-word

Cuts are padded to word boundaries from the transcript, then each clip is checked to make sure it still reads on its own. The ones that fail are dropped before you see them. The same rule on a long video.

Try it on a talk

Framed around the person, captions burned in

The crop follows the face through cuts and moves. Captions are word-level with the active word lit, in one of ten styles, rendered into the file. More on captions.

Priced on the video you give it

Cliplala meters the video you upload, not the shorts it makes. Lite is $14 a month for 4 hours; Pro is $78 for 25. Every plan posts to 10+ platforms, and every plan from Starter up includes seats for a team. The first 60 minutes are free, with a small watermark on the clips; paid plans have none. Full pricing.

What it does

  • Ranked with reasons. Every short says why it was picked, so you can disagree with it.
  • Bad cuts dropped. A short that starts or ends mid-thought does not reach you.
  • Face tracking. The crop follows the person, through cuts and camera moves.
  • Burned-in captions. Word-level, active word highlighted, ten styles. Rendered into the file.
  • Link or file. Paste a YouTube link, or upload the file straight from your machine.
  • Queue to 10+ platforms. Post from the results page. No export step.
  • Seats included. Share the plan with an editor or a co-host. Seats follow the plan, no extra charge.
  • Shorts never expire. Source files are kept 30 days. The shorts you made stay.

What it does not promise

  • A fixed number of shorts. De-duplication and the coherence check drop shorts on purpose; a tight talk yields more than a rambling one.
  • A score that predicts views. Every short gets a rank and a written reason, and you can disagree with it.
  • A time. Long sources take longer; you see shorts as they finish.

Claims on this page come from what ships today. If a row above says it, the engine does it.

Questions

What does an AI clip maker do?

It takes a long video and returns short, vertical clips ready to post. Cliplala transcribes the video, scores the moments, cuts them to 9:16 around the speaker, burns in captions, and ranks them with a reason each. You review and queue them to 10+ platforms.

How does it decide which moments to clip?

From the transcript first: a claim, a story, a question answered, a laugh. Then it checks the picture, snaps the edges to sentences, drops clips that do not stand alone, and removes near-duplicates. Each clip keeps its reason so you can check the call.

How many shorts do I get from one video?

It depends on the video. The engine keeps the moments that stand on their own and drops near-duplicates and cuts that start or end mid-thought, so a tight talk can return more usable shorts than a rambling one. You can set a target count and a clip length before it runs.

How long are the shorts?

Between 15 and 90 seconds by default, snapped to sentence edges so nothing is cut mid-word. You can set the range before the run.

Can I change a short before posting?

Yes. You can fix a caption, change the caption style, swap the layout, or drop the clip. Then queue it, or download it.

Is the AI clip maker free?

Your first 60 minutes of source video are free with no credit card. Those shorts carry a small Cliplala watermark. Paid plans start at $14 a month for 4 hours of video and have no watermark.

Can I post the shorts straight to TikTok, Reels and Shorts?

Yes. The results page queues them to 10+ platforms. You do not download and re-upload anything, though a download is there if you want it.

Is my video used to train anything?

No. Your uploads are used to make your shorts and for nothing else. Source files are deleted after 30 days; the shorts stay.
