i am sorry, but paywall IS NOT your problem

My paywall makes $4,000+ a month across my apps.

Some apps have 5% conversion. Others have 10%.

Niche + pricing >> paywall design.

Paywall offering lifetime access for $29.99 or a monthly plan for $4.99 with a one-week free trial

I want to sell lifetime access: people pay once, and I get the money up front.

Monthly gives people another way in if they aren't ready for that purchase.

03Real editor

Then finish each Reel your way.

The ClipsPal editor: media, preview, transcript, Director and a multi-track timeline

Drag and trim, or ask Director.

The edit opens in a multi-track timeline. Change any cut by hand or type a request to Director. Your footage stays on your Mac.

Questions

AI and privacy

How does ClipsPal edit an Instagram Reel?+

It transcribes your clips on your Mac and sends the transcript to the AI you picked. The AI decides which takes to keep and what to cut, and ClipsPal builds the edit on your Mac. The video and audio are never uploaded.

Which AI do I need?+

One of four: Claude Code with a Claude Pro or Max plan, Codex with a ChatGPT plan, OpenCode with any provider you connect, or a free local model ClipsPal downloads for you. Nothing is billed per video.

Does my footage get uploaded?+

No. Video and audio stay on your Mac, and so does transcription. Only the transcript goes to the AI you picked. With the local model, nothing leaves your Mac.

Which languages does it understand?+

40 spoken languages, including English, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Arabic.

Your Mac

Can I repurpose YouTube videos for Instagram Reels?+

Yes, from the video file. ClipsPal works with files on your Mac, not links. Drop in the recording, edit it, and turn the finished video into vertical shorts. The YouTube video editor page covers the long video.

Can ClipsPal post Reels to Instagram for me?+

No. ClipsPal exports the video to your Mac and you upload it to Instagram yourself.

Is there an online Instagram Reels editor?+

No. ClipsPal is a Mac app and there is no browser editor. Download ClipsPal for Mac to try it.

What Mac do I need?+

macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Intel Macs and Windows aren't supported.

What kind of videos is it for?+

Talking-head videos: YouTube, courses, founder updates, product walkthroughs. Anything you record in several takes.

How many Macs can I use?+

2. Move the license from Settings anytime.

Buying

Is the Instagram Reels editor free?+

The download is free and the local AI model costs nothing to run. Editing needs a ClipsPal license, which is a one-time payment. See pricing, or pick an opening line from the free hook library.

Can I download it before buying?+

Yes. Download ClipsPal anytime; editing starts once you enter a license.

Is it a subscription?+

No. It’s a one-time payment for lifetime access to ClipsPal. Your version is yours to keep, with updates forever included.

Are future updates included?+

Yes. Your license includes updates forever.
