ClutchClip turns your long videos into post-ready clips in seconds, without ever opening an editor.
Windows & macOS · 5 free clips · no card
You already recorded the hard part. ClutchClip does what you'd hire an editor for: it finds the best moments and turns them into captioned, vertical clips, ready in seconds.
Podcast, webinar, interview, a four-hour stream. Whatever you recorded, drag it straight in. There's nothing to set up and no timeline to learn, and that's the last bit of work you do.
you're done, and the app takes over
one drag· nothing to set up
It transcribes everything you said, picks the moments worth posting, and turns them into captioned vertical clips, automatically. Looking for one specific line? Search the transcript and jump straight to it.

That's the whole app. See what comes out
Every clip below is a real ClutchClip export off the same NASA recording, rendered on a normal PC in eight different caption styles, with no editor and no watermark.
Every tile is one real export off that recording, each with a different caption style.

Vertical and horizontal come out of a single pass, captions burned in, ready for wherever you post.
Real ClutchClip exports, dropped straight into the frames they were made for:native everywhere, edited nowhere else.
ClutchClip does the work you'd normally hand an editor, pulling the best moments and turning them into captioned, ready-to-post clips automatically. Posting every day stops being a second job.
posting daily, minus the editing
It runs on your own machine, so there's no upload and no render queue, and you get clips back while a cloud tool would still be uploading yours.
a full batch before a cloud export would finish
A four-hour stream, a two-year-old upload, a podcast episode, hand ClutchClip any of it and it turns each one into clips ready to post.
one archive, endless posts.
A desktop app for Windows (Mac build available): no browser tab, no per-minute meter, and your footage is never uploaded on its own.
your footage, your machine, no meter
Get your clips when you need them, at a price that's fair no matter how many you make.
Everything an editor would do (the cutting, the captions, the reframes), handled for you, so posting every day takes a few seconds instead of your whole weekend.
Turn what you've already recorded into a week of posts.

Blunt answers first. If yours isn't here, it takes one email to get it answered by the person who built the thing.
Ask before you buy; we'd rather answer than refund.

Yes: block, word-by-word and karaoke modes, your choice of font, colour and placement, plus on-device translation. The proof rail shows eight different styles, all real exports.
Yes. Everything you said is transcribed on-device, so you can search the words and jump straight to that moment, which is how most people mine an old back-catalogue.
Both are real builds of the same app, from the same release pipeline, with the same features and the same signed auto-updates. Windows shipped first, so it has had more field testing. Download for either.
A normal modern desktop or laptop: 64-bit Windows 10/11 or macOS 12+, 8 GB RAM (16 GB is comfortable for long recordings) and a few GB of disk for the app and its models. A GPU makes it faster but is not required.
TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X and LinkedIn. You get 9:16 and 16:9 out of the same pass with captions burned in and no watermark, so nothing needs a second tool. See the formats.
Because you run it, not a data center. Cloud tools have to charge for the GPUs, storage and bandwidth every upload burns. You don't upload anything, so there's none of that to pay for. See the plans.
You get 5 full clips free before you pay, so you can see real output first. If a paid plan still isn't right, email hello@clutchclip.org within 14 days of purchase and we'll refund it. Read the refund policy.
Just how you pay. Weekly is the easy way to start and stop whenever. Annual is for posting all year without thinking about it. Lifetime is for the long run: pay once and every future update is included. Same features on all three.
Five complete clips: real captioned 9:16 and 16:9 exports, no watermark, no card required. You are seeing the finished product, not a preview.
Two seats per license, typically a desktop and a laptop. Moving to a new machine is fine; deactivate the old one or email support and we'll reset it.
Yes. Lifetime is a one-time payment for a license that does not expire, including future updates. It keeps working on the machines it is activated on. Read the license terms.
No. Never. ClutchClip runs entirely on your own machine: transcription, moment-finding, captioning and reframing all happen on-device. There is no upload step to opt out of, because there is no upload. See how the pipeline runs.
Yes. Clipping is fully offline, so you can pull the plug, fly, or work off a hotspot you don't trust. Activation and updates need a connection. Weekly and annual plans also refresh a signed paid-through date when the app can get online and include a short grace window; lifetime normally does not need that renewal check.
No. Nothing is collected, nothing is sent, so there is nothing to train on. The models ship with the app and run locally; your unreleased recordings stay unreleased.
Nothing matches that. Ask us directly. We answer every one.
Answered? Then the only thing left is your own footage.
