Paste a link or point it at a file. It works out which moments are worth cutting, reframes them to 9:16 following whoever's talking, burns the captions in, and writes the title, caption and hashtags for every clip.
No subscription. No upload queue. No minutes to run out of. It runs on the graphics card already in your PC, so the hundredth clip costs exactly what the first one did — nothing.
| Step | What happened |
|---|---|
| Fetched | A 7.7 minute video, straight from a link. |
| Listened | Transcribed it word by word on the local GPU — 1,025 words. |
| Chose | Picked 6 moments that stand on their own, spread across the whole video, and wrote the copy for each. |
| Cut | Reframed to vertical following the subject, burned in captions, ended every clip on a finished sentence. |
| Total | 2 minutes 12 seconds, start to finish. |
Most tools cut to a fixed length. That's the wrong instinct. Short-form platforms rank on average view duration — the percentage people actually watch. A complete point in 25 seconds gets finished. The same point stretched to 60 gets swiped. So clips here run as long as the idea needs, then stop.
| Clip length | Roughly what it needs watched to get pushed |
|---|---|
| Under 15s | 60–75% is typical — easy reach |
| 15–30s | ~65% — the strongest band |
| 30–60s | ~50% |
| Over 60s | only worth it if the payoff really holds |
Every clip comes with a plain read on its own length, so you know which ones to lead with.
Face tracking keeps whoever is talking in frame when 16:9 becomes 9:16, instead of cropping them out of shot.
Every clip can be re-cut by hand in seconds — scrub, drag the in/out, place the crop. Automatic gets you close, you finish it.
Every cut lands on a finished sentence with no dead air, so the replay drops straight back into speech.
Burn a separate version per language, timed word by word. Thirty-odd languages, same clip, more reach.
Point it at a live stream and it records in chunks, clipping each one as it lands. Clips before the broadcast is over.
Title, caption and hashtags per clip, in a sheet you can paste straight into the app.
The files are finished, but every run also writes a DaVinci Resolve timeline for the one clip worth grading properly.
Built for people already earning from short-form. Comparable tools charge $15–39 every month forever and cap you on clips or minutes — three years of that is over £800, and you still own nothing at the end.
| Typical clipping tool | VEIL Clipper | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $15–39 every month | £297 once |
| Clip limit | Capped by credits or minutes | None |
| Your footage | Uploaded to their servers | Never leaves your PC |

| Year two | Pay again | Still yours |
| Thing | Why |
|---|---|
| Windows PC | Built and tested on Windows. |
| NVIDIA graphics card | Does the listening. Works without one, just slower. |
| A few minutes | One setup run, then it's a double-click from then on. |
No. You buy it once and clip as much as you like. There's no meter, because there's no server — the work happens on your machine.
No. Transcription, clip picking and rendering all happen on your machine. There is no upload step and no server involved.
The software, set up to run on your PC, plus updates. You clip as much as you like from then on and never pay again.
Files on your PC, and links from YouTube, Twitch, Kick and most other sites. Live streams too.
It exports everything ready to post, with the copy written. Automatic posting to YouTube works once you connect your own account. TikTok and Instagram require their own developer approval, which is on them, not us — so for now those are copy-and-paste.
Technically yes. Whether you're allowed to post the result is between you and whoever owns the footage — that one's on you.
