StoryCut for clippers: key facts
- What it does
- AI clips turns one long video into 3 to 12 vertical clips, each with captions, a title and a 0–100 virality score so you post the strongest ones first.
- Input
- A YouTube link (up to 120 minutes) or an upload of a stream VOD, podcast or long video in MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV or WebM (2 to 150 minutes).
- Speed
- About 5 minutes per hour of video: the median run on a 58-minute video took under 4 minutes (50 runs, October 2026).
- Reframing
- Every clip is cut to 9:16 around faces and the active speaker, with a split layout when two people matter.
- Volume
- Long videos per month: Free 1, Starter 10, Pro 50, Business 100. Each one gives 3 to 12 clips.
- Price
- Free: 720p exports with a watermark. Starter: $7/mo billed yearly, 1080p, no watermark. Pro: $14/mo billed yearly, adds sound effects, magic zoom and music.
What a clipper needs from a clipping tool
Clipping pays per view, so the job is volume and speed: find the moments that stand on their own, cut them before everyone else does, and make each clip worth watching to the end. StoryCut reads the whole transcript of a stream, podcast or interview, picks moments with a strong opening and a complete thought, and scores each one. Then it does the slow part of the edit for you: the vertical crop that follows the speaker and animated word-by-word captions in the style you picked. Open any clip in the editor to change a word, add a hook title, a zoom on the punchline, a sound effect or music, then export the MP4 for TikTok, Reels, Shorts or X.
Edits that make a clip yours
Platforms reward clips that add something to the original. YouTube said in October 2026 that channels re-uploading other people’s videos without significant changes get less distribution in Shorts, and its monetization rules exclude repetitive, mass-produced content. Captions in your own style, a hook title, zooms on the key line, sound effects and a cut that keeps only the best moment are the kind of changes that turn a re-upload into your clip. StoryCut adds the captions and the reframing to every clip, and the rest in a click in the editor.
