Frequently Asked Questions

ClipSpeedAI is an AI-powered video clipping platform that turns long-form videos into short-form viral clips automatically. Upload any video file and the AI analyzes the full video, finds the best moments, cuts them into 9:16 vertical clips with animated captions, speaker tracking, and viral scoring — all in a few minutes. No video editing skills required.

Go to clipspeed.ai/app, create a free account (no credit card required), and upload your video — podcast, VOD, Zoom recording, or phone video. The AI processes it and delivers clips in about 90 seconds. You get 30 free minutes (≈10–15 clips) to test everything — captions, viral scoring, and speaker tracking included.

ClipSpeedAI works with any long-form video file you upload — podcasts, VODs, Zoom recordings, phone videos, interviews, webinars, or any MP4/MOV/WebM. Just upload your file and the AI handles the rest.

No. ClipSpeedAI is a web-based platform that works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile. There's nothing to download or install — just visit the site and start clipping.

Most short videos are ready in a few minutes. Longer podcasts and streams take 5–15 minutes depending on source length. Processing speed depends on video length and current server load. Pro plan users get priority processing for faster results during peak times.

ClipSpeedAI offers 14+ animated caption styles including templates inspired by popular creators like MrBeast, Hormozi, and gaming streamers. Each style features word-by-word highlighting, custom animations, and unique color schemes. You can switch styles with one click and preview them in real time before exporting.

Speaker tracking uses AI face detection to follow the active speaker when converting landscape video into vertical clips. The system identifies who is currently speaking and smoothly pans the virtual camera to keep them centered. For podcasts and interviews, it also supports gallery layouts showing both speakers simultaneously during back-and-forth conversation.

ViralBrain is ClipSpeedAI's proprietary AI scoring system powered by GPT-4o. Every clip gets a score from 0-100 based on five engagement factors: hook strength, emotional energy, quotability, controversy potential, and relatability. This helps you instantly identify which clips are most likely to perform well. Clips scoring 85+ consistently outperform manually selected clips.

Yes. Batch processing is available on the Pro plan and supports up to 10 videos simultaneously. Paste multiple URLs, select your settings once, and every video gets processed with AI detection, reframing, captions, and viral scoring. This is ideal for agencies and high-volume creators.

AI dubbing generates natural-sounding voiceovers in 12+ languages while preserving the original speaker's tone and cadence. The dubbed audio syncs with the video and captions automatically update to the target language. This turns one clip into multiple localized versions for international audiences — great for creators looking to expand globally.

Yes. Auto-scheduling is available on the Pro plan and connects to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and X (Twitter). After generating clips, select which ones to post, set specific times for each platform, add custom hashtags and captions, and the system handles publishing automatically.

Yes. A full REST API is included with the Pro plan ($29/month). You can programmatically submit videos, retrieve generated clips, manage captions, and automate workflows. API documentation is available in the dashboard. This makes ClipSpeedAI ideal for building automated content pipelines or integrating into existing tools.

Yes. In addition to pasting URLs, you can upload video files directly. Supported formats include MP4, MOV, and WebM. File size limits vary by plan. Upload processing uses the same AI pipeline as URL-based clipping.

Copyright responsibility lies with the user. ClipSpeedAI is a tool — how you use the clips determines copyright compliance. Many creators clip their own content or content they have permission to use. Clipping others' content for commentary or review may qualify as fair use, but we recommend consulting a legal professional for specific situations.
