Everything a clipper needs
Finding the best moments takes seconds, and the editor is built for vertical video.
AI finds the action
AI moment detection reads loudness, sudden sounds, motion and scene cuts to rank the best moments. A 15-minute video takes seconds.
A real editor
Trim with drag handles on a timeline that shows the picture and the sound. Split, lengthen, change speed and volume, add fades. Undo anything.
Captions that pop
Word-by-word caption styles, hook text templates and a progress bar. Optional speech-to-text runs on your device.
Made for 9:16
Blur fill, crop, face tracking or a facecam split for streamers. Export 1080p for Shorts, Reels, TikTok, square or 16:9.
Screen recorder coming soon
Record your gameplay with game sound and mic, and press a hotkey to mark the moments you want as clips.
YouTube links coming soon
Paste a YouTube link and get your clips. YouTube has changed its download rules, so we're building a reliable way to bring this back. For now, download your video and drop it in.
Nothing is uploaded. Ever.
Most clipping tools upload your footage to their servers. ClipIt Studio does all the work on your own device, so your videos stay yours.
- Your videos stay on your device. Scanning, editing and exporting all happen in your browser or the desktop app.
- One-tap sign-in with Google. Your projects stay on your device, kept separately for your account, and you stay signed in.
- No waiting in a queue. Your own computer does the work, with no upload time.
- The AI runs on your device. Moment detection and AI Captions work locally, and sliders let you tune what counts as a highlight.

Questions
What is ClipIt Studio?
ClipIt Studio is a free clip maker for gamers and streamers. It scans a long gameplay video, finds the best moments (loud bursts, sudden sounds, fast motion and scene cuts) and turns them into vertical 9:16 YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikToks. It runs in your web browser or as a desktop app, and your videos never leave your device.
How do I turn a long gameplay video into YouTube Shorts?
Open ClipIt Studio, add your video file, and it suggests the best 30, 45 or 60-second clips. Pick one, adjust the trim on the timeline, choose a layout (blur fill, crop, face tracking or facecam), add captions and a hook, then export a 1080×1920 MP4 ready to upload. See the step-by-step guide.
Can I clip Twitch streams or stream recordings?
Yes. Any video file works, including Twitch VOD downloads, OBS recordings and console captures. The facecam layout puts your webcam on top and the gameplay below, which suits streamer clips.
Are my videos uploaded anywhere?
No. The website and the app process your video on your own device. We never receive your videos, clips or projects. The website needs an internet connection only to load the page itself, plus the speech model the first time you use AI captions.
Does it use AI?
Yes. ClipIt Studio's AI moment detection analyses loudness, sudden sounds, motion and scene cuts to find your best clips, and the optional AI Captions feature turns speech into word-by-word captions. Both run on your own device, so your video is never sent anywhere. The speech model downloads once, the first time you use AI Captions.
Is it really free?
Yes. During the beta every feature and every export is free, with no watermark. You just sign in with Google. A paid Pro plan and the desktop app will come later. Leave your email above to hear when they launch.
Can I paste a YouTube link?
Not right now. YouTube has changed its rules for downloading videos, and our team is working on a reliable way to bring YouTube links back as soon as possible. Meanwhile, download your video (for your own uploads: YouTube Studio → Content → ⋮ → Download) and add it as a video file. Only clip videos you own or have permission to use.
Which browsers and phones work?
It works best in an up-to-date Chrome or Edge on a computer. Recent Safari and Firefox, and recent iPhones and Android phones, also work. Long videos run faster on a computer. Older browsers show a message asking you to update.
Is it only for GTA?
No. It works with any gameplay, stream recording or long video with loud or fast moments. It's tuned for action games.
Where are my projects saved?
On your device: in your browser's storage on the website, or in your user folder in the desktop app. Clearing your browser data removes website projects, but not your video files.
