Short videos, without spending your evenings editing
ClipOnIt is a suite of AI tools for short-form video. AI Explainer turns an idea, a text or your voice into an animated video. Smart Clipper turns a long video or a YouTube link into reframed, captioned clips. Both can also be driven from Claude or ChatGPT.
The problem
A long video takes hours of editing to turn into excerpts, and an idea often stays a note on a phone. Yet short videos are what introduce a channel, a product or a course to people who don't know it yet. ClipOnIt does that work in minutes, and leaves you the final say.
From a long video to clips
- Importación
Upload an MP4, MOV or WEBM, or paste a YouTube link.
- Let the AI analyze
Transcription, highlights scored out of 100 with a reason, face reframing and captions.
- Adjust
Clip bounds, caption style, zooms, B-roll, music, hook title.
- Export
One clip or all of them, in 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 or 4:5, as 1080p MP4.
