YouTube clip maker
for your own recordings.

Import your talking-head video on Mac. ClipsPal edits the long video, then helps you make vertical Shorts from it.

  • Start with your recording

    Import a video file from your Mac. ClipsPal works with local footage, not YouTube links.

  • Edit the full video first

    Cut failed takes, silences and filler, then review the result in the timeline.

  • Make vertical Shorts

    Create vertical clips from the edited video, export them, and upload them yourself.

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.

02Auto edit

Clean up the long video before clipping it.

ClipsPal cuts failed takes, silences and filler words, then adds zoom-ins, subtitles, visuals and sound effects.
