How to use Klap's AI video clipping tool
The clipping tool finds viral moments, reframes to vertical with AI Reframe 2 (content-aware, focuses on the active speaker or saliency point), applies your brand kit (logo, fonts, colors, caption style), and outputs clips ready for delivery. Every clip is scored by Virality Score so the strongest are surfaced first.
Download in bulk, publish direct to client channels, or generate review links for stakeholders. Team workspaces keep clients separated; the API integrates with your existing delivery pipeline.
Process up to 10 hours of source video per day
Most video clippers force one upload at a time. Klap's AI video clipping tool processes batches in parallel — queue up an entire week of podcast episodes, a backlog of webinars, or a client's full library. On the Pro plan, process up to 10 hours of source video per day; on enterprise, lift the cap entirely. Generate up to 100 finished clips per hour with batch upload.
Brand kits keep every clip on-brand automatically
Upload your logo, set your color palette, pick your caption font, and Klap's video clipper applies your brand kit to every clip across every video. Different brand for each client? Each workspace has its own kit — no manual styling per project. Ship consistent, on-brand content at agency scale.
Full REST API for production pipelines
The Klap API gives your engineering team programmatic access to the same AI video clipping engine. POST a video URL, get back clip URLs with Virality Scores, transcripts, and metadata. Webhook callbacks when each video finishes. Integrate with your CMS, post-production stack, or client portal. Used by podcast networks, media companies, and SaaS products to process millions of minutes monthly.
How to evaluate an AI video clipping tool
Buying for a team? Six criteria matter more than features lists: (1) clip detection quality — does it actually find viral moments or just chop the video evenly? (2) caption accuracy across languages — anything under 95% creates rework. (3) speaker tracking and reframe quality on multi-person video. (4) throughput — clips per hour per seat for your typical source length. (5) brand consistency — templates, presets, color management. (6) export speed and format options. Klap leads on all six. Try the free plan against your current tool with one real source video; the difference shows up in the first export.
Team workspaces with role-based access
Invite your team, separate clients into workspaces, and give each member the right access — admins, editors, viewers. Activity logs track who clipped what, when. Perfect for agencies juggling multiple clients or creator teams with editors, producers, and channel managers. See team plans.
Pro-grade reframing and captions, every clip
Klap's video clipper doesn't just crop — it tracks speakers across cuts, handles multi-person layouts (split-screen, picture-in-picture, 3- and 4-screen), and produces 98% accurate captions in 52 languages with animated keyword highlights. The output quality matches an in-house editor without the headcount.
Built for teams that ship video at scale
The AI video clipping tool is used by 3.5M+ individuals but it's purpose-built for teams. Here's how each kind of team uses Klap.
Save $2,000+/month per client on editing
Agencies typically pay $2K–$5K monthly per client for short-form video editing. Klap replaces that line item entirely. Process every client's videos through the AI clipping tool, apply their brand kit automatically, and deliver finished clips through the team workspace — without scaling your editor headcount.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI video clipping tool?
An AI video clipping tool uses machine learning to identify the strongest moments in a long video and automatically extract them as short clips — reframed for vertical platforms, captioned, and ready to post. Klap's AI video clipping tool also ranks clips by Virality Score, applies brand kits, processes videos in bulk up to 10 hours/day, and offers a full API for production pipelines.
How is Klap different from other AI video clipping tools?
Klap differs from other AI clipping tools in five specific ways: speaker tracking across multi-person layouts (most tools just center-crop), captions in 52 languages at 98% accuracy (most are English-only or lower accuracy), Virality Score on every clip (most generate clips without ranking), brand kits per workspace (most apply one brand globally), and bulk processing of up to 10 hours of source video per day. Try the free plan against your current tool to see the difference.
What is the best AI video clipper for agencies?
Klap is the highest-rated AI video clipper for agencies because of three features: brand kits per client workspace (no manual styling per project), bulk processing (queue an entire client roster at once), and the team workspace with role-based access. Agencies using Klap typically save $2K–$5K per client monthly on editing costs. See the cluster hub at AI clip maker.
Does the video clipping tool have an API?
Yes. The Klap API gives teams programmatic access to the full video clipping engine — same Virality Score, reframing, captioning, and brand kit application available via REST. POST a video URL, get back clip URLs with metadata and transcripts. Used by podcast networks, media companies, and SaaS platforms to process video at scale.
Can the clipping tool process videos in bulk?
Yes. Klap processes batches in parallel — upload an entire backlog and let it run. Pro plans support up to 10 hours of source video per day; enterprise plans lift the cap. Team workspaces show progress per video, and the API supports webhook callbacks when individual videos finish.
What is the best free clipping software?
Klap is the best free clipping software for both individuals and small teams. The free plan includes 1 video free with no credit card, no watermarks, and full access to AI features like Virality Score, reframing, and captions. Paid plans add bulk processing, brand kits, team seats, and API access for production-scale needs.
Can I use my own brand kit with the clipping tool?
Yes. Upload your logo, set your color palette, choose your caption font, and Klap applies your brand kit to every clip automatically. Agencies and creator teams can run multiple workspaces with separate brand kits — one per client or channel — so every output stays consistently on-brand without manual styling.
Is the AI video clipping tool SOC-2 compliant?
Klap has SOC-2 controls available on enterprise plans, including audit logs, SSO, and role-based access. Standard plans include encryption in transit and at rest, GDPR-compliant data handling, and per-workspace data separation. Talk to sales for compliance requirements specific to your industry.
