The AI Clip Generator That Finds Your Best Moments
Clipus is an AI video clipping tool that turns one long video into a batch of short, viral-ready clips. It transcribes your video, reads the transcript, and ranks the strongest segments — each with a title, a hook reason, and a viral score — so you clip in minutes instead of scrubbing for hours.

How does an AI clip generator work?
An AI clip generator finds the best short segments inside a long video automatically. Clipus does it in three stages: first, it transcribes your video with word-level timestamps using Whisper. Second, an AI model reads the full transcript and scores each candidate moment for hooks, punchlines, and complete thoughts. Third, it returns a ranked list of suggested clips with start and end times, a title, and a plain-English reason explaining why each moment can perform.
You stay in control the whole time. Review each suggestion next to the transcript, trim the in and out points, then export only the clips you approve.
- Ranked clip suggestions with viral scores and hook reasons
- Word-level transcript shown next to the video player
- Works with YouTube links and local video files
- Bring your own OpenAI or Groq API key — no markup, no proxy
What makes Clipus different from cloud clip generators?
Most viral clips generators are cloud subscriptions: you upload your footage to their servers, wait in a render queue, and pay $20–$100 every month with caps on clips or minutes. Clipus is a desktop app. Your video never leaves your computer — cutting, captioning, and rendering all run locally through ffmpeg, and the license costs $20 once instead of every month.
- One-time $20 lifetime license (or $5/month)
- Unlimited clips — no monthly caps
- 100% local rendering, nothing uploaded
- No watermark on licensed exports
Can I generate clips without AI?
Yes. Smart Manual Mode splits any video into fixed-length clips with no AI and no API key. Pick a clip length, and Clipus cuts the whole video into short, non-overlapping segments — a free, fully offline way to repurpose long videos into shorts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best AI clip generator for desktop?
Clipus is a desktop AI clip generator for Windows. Unlike cloud tools, it renders everything locally, charges a one-time $20 for lifetime access, and never uploads your video files anywhere.
How does the AI decide which clips are viral?
The AI reads your full transcript and scores each moment for hook strength, emotional payoff, and whether it works as a self-contained story. Every suggestion includes the score and a plain-English reason, so you can judge it yourself before exporting.
Do I need an API key to generate clips?
Only for the AI mode. You paste your own OpenAI or Groq key in Settings and pay the provider directly at their rates. Smart Manual Mode and offline Whisper transcription work with no key at all.
