1. Opus Clip
Opus Clip has a Free plan with 60 credits a month, then Starter at $15 and Pro at $29 a month. It gives each clip a virality score and accepts local uploads up to 10GB per video. Choose it if you want a widely used cloud clipper that picks the moments for you. Our Opus Clip alternatives page covers the field around it.
2. Klap
Klap bills by output: 100, 300 or 1,000 clips a month, and each generated short counts as one clip. Every plan publishes and schedules to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook. You can try it free on one video, but downloading needs a paid plan. It fits creators who want to post from the same tool that makes the clips.
3. ClipsPal
ClipsPal is a desktop app for macOS 14 and later and a Windows 11 beta, and it runs on your computer. Its /short command makes 1 to 5 vertical shorts from a full video, and each short stays an editable timeline. Only the transcript goes to the AI account you chose. It does not post, so you upload the exported files yourself.
4. Vizard
Vizard's free plan gives 60 credits a month, the full video editor and 720p export. Paid plans add 4K export, no watermark and scheduling of social posts. You can also edit by deleting words in the transcript. It suits anyone who wants to test a full cloud editor before paying. More options are in our Vizard alternatives.
5. 2short.ai
2short.ai is the cheapest paid option here: Lite is $9.90 a month with 5 hours of AI video analysis, and the free plan gives 30 minutes. Plans differ mainly in analysis hours rather than features. It keeps the speaker centred with face tracking, adds animated subtitles and exports vertical, square or horizontal. A good pick for a small budget and a few videos a month.
6. Submagic
Submagic centres on captions. Starter is $12 a month billed yearly, and Pro at $23 a month billed yearly adds AI zooms, bad-take and silence removal, and publishing with analytics. Choose it when subtitles are the main job and the clip is mostly ready. If you are weighing it against a local editor, read the Submagic alternative page.
7. Descript
Descript edits video by editing its transcript, and its Create Clips tool makes short clips with AI. The Free plan covers 60 minutes of media a month, and Hobbyist at $16 a month billed yearly raises it to 10 hours. Stay with it if you already edit podcasts or videos in Descript and shorts are an add-on. Our Descript alternatives page goes further.
How to choose
Your own recordings or a link. 2short.ai works from a pasted YouTube link, and Klap and Opus Clip take a link or an uploaded file. ClipsPal starts from recordings you import or record in the app.
Retouch or accept. If you adjust every short, pick a tool with a timeline editor: ClipsPal, Vizard and Opus Clip list one.
Monthly credits or one price. quso.ai, where Vidyo.ai plans are listed, starts paid plans at $29 a month. ClipsPal's highest price, $99, is under four months of that.
Where the footage goes. Decide this before you upload client or unreleased video. A desktop app keeps the files with you.
Direct posting. Klap, Vizard on paid plans, Opus Clip and quso.ai Essential publish or schedule to social platforms, and Submagic Pro publishes. If you need that, ClipsPal is not the match.

Questions
Is Vidyo.ai now quso.ai?+
The quso.ai pricing page has a note for people coming from Vidyo.ai: your plan and pricing are unchanged. It lists a free plan with 75 credits a month, and one credit is about one minute of processed video.
Is there a free Vidyo.ai alternative?+
Opus Clip and Vizard each give 60 credits a month, 2short.ai gives 30 minutes of AI analysis and Descript's Free plan gives 60 minutes of media. Klap's trial covers one video. ClipsPal has no free plan: you can download it, editing starts once you enter a license, and there is a 14-day refund.
Can I edit shorts after the AI clips them?+
In ClipsPal, open the short beside the video title and review it for distinct content and framing, since each short is its own edit. You can also export the timeline to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve to finish it there.
Does ClipsPal post to YouTube Shorts or TikTok?+
No. It exports files to your computer and you upload them yourself. You choose 1080p or 1440p in the Export dialog, with burned subtitles or an optional SRT file.
