What creators say.
“honestly didnt expect much but it actually finds the good parts of my podcast clips faster than i can scrub through the timeline myself. saved me like an hour on my last upload”
Marcus T. · podcast editor
“i do a lot of thrifted product videos and this thing actually catches the moments where i'm talking not just when i move around. still tweak stuff after but its a solid starting point”
Jenna R. · content creator
“one time price sold me tbh, i was so tired of paying monthly for 3 different editing subscriptions. this one just sits on my mac and works”
Dev K. · freelance video editor
Your footage stays yours
Processing happens on your Mac — transcription, scoring, captions, and reframing. Nothing gets uploaded to a cloud editor to be clipped.
Less waiting, more posting
Apple Silicon acceleration end to end, with hardware video encoding roughly 3–5× faster than a software encode. No upload time, no download time, no render queue.
Pay once. Keep creating.
Start on Free Forever, then unlock Lifetime for $99 once — unlimited, watermark-free exports with no monthly bill and no credits to ration.
Every step of the workflow, handled on device.
Dual-Speaker Mode
Two-person interviews, both faces in one vertical clip.
Point ClipChip at a landscape interview and it detects the two faces on camera, then gives each person their own half of a 9:16 frame — stacked top and bottom, or side by side. Pan, zoom from 1× to 5×, and swap sides before export. Both people stay on screen the whole time.
Face detection, on-device
Up to 10 frames are sampled and Apple Vision groups faces left and right of centre into Speaker A and Speaker B.
Two layouts, your call
Stacked gives each speaker a wide 9:8 pane. Side by side gives each a tall 9:16 pane. Auto-Reframe defaults to stacked.
What it isn't
No audio diarization, no cutting to whoever is talking, no 3+ speaker layouts, and crops are static rather than tracking movement.
For Solo Creators
One long recording. A week of content by lunch.
- Drop in a podcast, stream, or webinar and get up to about 10 scored clips, each targeting roughly 45 seconds.
- Captions and reframing are applied for you. Filler-word Clip AI is one tap in the clip editor when you want it.
- Export MP4s for TikTok. Post Now to YouTube or Instagram Reels from the app.
For Agencies
Client footage that never touches the cloud.
- NDAs stay intact. Every frame is processed locally on your team's Macs.
- One Lifetime purchase per editor — $99, once. No per-seat cloud fees.
- Unlimited exports on Lifetime means predictable margins on every retainer.
The time you get back
A full workday back, every week — by editing words, not a timeline.
No timeline scrubbing. Select the exact words you want in the transcript and the video cuts to the split second — frame-accurate, no manual trimming, no guessing where a clip starts or ends.
Early users tell us this is the first AI editor that felt genuinely intuitive, not just automated — and that they got more time back than they expected to save.
And because every step runs on your Mac, there's no upload, no render queue, and no download round-trip to wait on either.
Three steps. One long video becomes a week of posts.

Drop in a podcast, stream, webinar, or screen recording from your drive.

On-device AI scores the moments, writes word-level captions, and reframes for vertical.

Pricing
Start free. Pay once when you're ready.
Most clipping tools charge every month, restrict processing with credits, or make you upload your work to the cloud. ClipChip.ai is built differently.
