Clipkiln

Cut a long video into short vertical clips, subtitled in 27 languages.

Upload one recording and Clipkiln returns the moments worth posting, each cut to 9:16 with word-timed captions burned into the picture.

What it does

Every line below is a control that exists in the product today. Nothing here is planned, coming soon, or in beta.

It finds the moments

Choose funny, informative or emotionally intense. Add a topic and it returns only clips about that topic, and tells you plainly when nothing in the video matched rather than padding the list.

Word-timed subtitles, burned in

Captions are timed word by word and rendered into the picture, so they survive a re-upload. Eleven fonts, among them Anton, Bebas Neue, Oswald and Montserrat, with size and position under your control.

Translated into 27 languages

Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Vietnamese, Turkish, Portuguese and 21 more, with Chinese in both Simplified and Traditional. The language is set per clip, not per account.

Framed for a phone

9:16, 1:1 or 16:9. Drag the crop window across the video so a face stays in frame instead of trusting a centre crop, and trim each clip's start and end by the second.

A cold open, if you want one

The hook plays the strongest few seconds first, with a transition and a sound effect, then the clip runs from its start. Off by default, per clip.

Cutaways it can justify

Optional stock b-roll from Pexels. When nothing in a clip is concrete enough to film, it adds nothing rather than guessing, and says so on the clip.

Your music, your logo

Upload a track, set its volume, loop it under the clip. Put your logo in any corner at the size and opacity you choose.

Story videos from a script

A separate tab turns written text into a narrated video: an AI voice over moving background footage, split into parts and subtitled the same way.

Uploads are deleted after 5 days

An upload and its clips are removed from our servers 5 days after you last touch them — automatically, so we are not holding your footage longer than we need to. Delete one sooner at any time. Anything you want to keep, save to Saved Clips: saved clips are never deleted on a timer.
