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.

No second subscription.

ClipsPal runs on the AI you already pay for.

Questions

AI and privacy

How does ClipsPal edit short-form talking-head videos?+

ClipsPal transcribes your takes on your Mac. The AI reads the transcript to choose which takes to keep and cut failed takes, silences and filler. ClipsPal builds the edit with subtitles, zoom-ins, visuals and sound effects, ready to refine in the timeline.

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.

Yes. Drop your recorded raw takes into ClipsPal and edit them directly. It cleans up the takes and adds finishing effects, then opens the result in a multi-track timeline.

Yes. Edit the recording, then turn the finished video into vertical shorts. See the YouTube Shorts maker and Instagram Reels editor for those workflows.
