The local AI video editor
for your Mac.

ClipsPal transcribes your takes on your Mac and edits from the transcript. Your video never uploads. Choose the free local model and nothing leaves your Mac.

  • Footage stays on your Mac

    Video and audio are never uploaded. Edits, subtitles and exports happen on your computer.

  • Transcription runs on your Mac

    Speech is turned into text locally, so the recording itself never leaves.

  • Your AI gets the transcript

    Hosted AI gets the transcript and your request. The local model keeps even that on your Mac.

Your footage never leaves your Mac.

ClipsPal sends the transcript and your request to the AI you pick, or runs a free local model that needs no account and sends nothing.

Questions

AI and privacy

Is there an AI video editor that doesn't upload my footage?+

Yes. In ClipsPal your video and audio stay on your Mac, and so does transcription. AI editing sends the transcript and your request to the provider you choose, or you can pick the local model so nothing is sent.

What leaves my Mac when I use Claude Code or Codex?+

The transcript and your request go to the provider you picked. Tasks that inspect reference images or visual media can send that material too. The local model keeps AI processing on your Mac. See the AI video editor page for how the edit works.

Can I run the AI fully on my Mac?+

Yes. Choose the free local model in Settings → AI provider. ClipsPal downloads it for you and it needs no account.

Which AI do I need?+

Any one of these: Claude Code with a Claude Pro or Max plan, Codex with a ChatGPT plan, OpenCode with any provider you connect, Gemini with a Google account, Cursor with a Cursor account, Grok with SuperGrok or X Premium+, 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 computer, and so does transcription. Only the transcript goes to the AI you picked. With the local model, nothing leaves your computer.

What are motion slides?+

Animated slides the AI designs for the words you select.

Can my AI agent use ClipsPal?+

Yes. ClipsPal includes an MCP server. Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, Grok, Claude Desktop, Windsurf or any MCP client can open your videos, cut them, make shorts, chapters and articles, and export. Add it from Settings → Integrations.

Which languages does it understand?+

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

Your computer

Does it work offline?+

Activate your license online once, then work offline for up to 30 days. The local model and, on Intel Macs, the transcription model are downloaded once, so first setup needs a connection. A hosted AI needs a connection to receive the transcript. Download ClipsPal or see pricing.

What computer do I need?+

macOS 14 or later on a Mac with Apple Silicon or Intel, or Windows 11 on an Intel or AMD x64 computer. Windows is an unsigned beta; check the download page for availability.

What differs on Intel Macs?+

Everything works, including screen and camera recording and background removal. Transcription uses the same local Whisper model as Windows, downloaded once on first use, with lower accuracy than on Apple Silicon.

What differs on Windows?+

Import, edit, export, AI editing and local voice input are included. Windows bundles a local Whisper model, with lower transcription accuracy than Mac. No model download is needed on first run. Native screen and camera recording and background removal are Mac-only. The Windows beta is unsigned and may trigger SmartScreen.

Can I record my screen?+

Yes, on Mac: your screen with your camera in the corner, or just your voice. On Windows, import files or record audio.

What kind of videos is it for?+

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

How many computers can I use?+

2. Move the license from Settings anytime.

Buying

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.

Can I finish the edit in another app?+

Yes. Export the timeline to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
