Video editing software
for talking-head videos.

Drop in the takes you recorded. ClipsPal transcribes them on your computer, cuts failed takes, silences and filler, adds subtitles and zoom-ins, and opens a timeline you can finish by hand.

  • Raw takes to a first cut

    Failed takes, silences and filler are cut in one pass.

  • Built for speech-led video

    For one person talking to camera: YouTube, courses, founder updates. Not for footage-free or prompt-generated video.

  • Mac first

    macOS 14 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel. A Windows 11 x64 beta is also available.

01Raw footage to edited

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.

Questions

AI and privacy

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

What kind of video editing software is ClipsPal?+

Desktop software for recorded talking-head footage. It transcribes on your computer, cuts takes, silences and filler, adds subtitles, zoom-ins, visuals and sound effects, and opens a multi-track timeline. See also the AI video editor and the text-based video editor.

Can I use ClipsPal for any video?+

It is built for speech-led footage. There is no browser editor, and it does not generate original footage from a text prompt. The Mac requirement is on the video editor for Mac page.

How do I export an edited video?+

In the Export dialog choose 1080p or 1440p, playback speed, burned-in subtitles and an optional SRT file. Exports queue on your computer. ClipsPal does not post to social platforms.

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?+
