  • The transcript drives the cut

    AI reads what you said and keeps the best take of each line.

  • Failed takes struck from the text

    Retakes, silences and filler words are cut, with subtitles, zoom-ins and sound effects added.

  • Change it by typing

    Ask Director for a change in plain words, or adjust the timeline by hand.

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.

Your AI, your footage.

Only the transcript is sent to Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode. Or run the free local model and nothing leaves your computer.

Questions

AI and privacy

How do I edit a video by editing the text?+

ClipsPal transcribes the clip on your computer and sends the transcript to the AI you picked. The AI decides which takes to keep and what to cut, and the edit opens in a timeline. To change it, type a request to Director.

Do I need an AI account to transcribe and edit?+

Transcription runs on your computer. Editing uses Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode if you have one, or the free local model, which needs no account.

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 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.

Which languages does it understand?+

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

Your computer

Is there a text based video editor for Mac?+

Yes. ClipsPal is a Mac app for macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon. Download it and open a recording.

Can I edit without a timeline?+

The AI makes the first cut from the transcript, so you start from a finished edit, not an empty timeline. The multi-track timeline is there when you want to change a cut by hand. More on the AI video editor workflow.

What computer do I need?+

macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon (M1 or newer), or Windows 11 on an Intel or AMD x64 computer. Windows is an unsigned beta; check the download page for availability. Intel Macs are not supported.

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.

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.
