FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I turn a long video into viral clips with ClipFlame?

Upload the video file. ClipFlame's AI finds the viral-worthy moments, cuts them, frames the speaker for vertical and adds word-by-word captions. You download everything as one ZIP. Prefer to do it by hand? Our guide to turning a long video into Shorts covers each step.

Can ClipFlame post my clips for me?

Yes. The free trial schedules up to 10 posts, Starter 150 a month and Pro 750 a month. Pro runs up to 3 brands, each with its own accounts. Connect YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, put each clip on the calendar with the title, caption and hashtags ClipFlame wrote for it, and ClipFlame posts it at that time. You can send one clip to several accounts at once, and disconnect any account whenever you like. Prefer to post yourself? Download the ZIP.

Which accounts can I connect?

YouTube channels, Instagram Business and Creator accounts, TikTok accounts and the Facebook Pages you manage. Personal Facebook profiles and personal Instagram accounts can't be posted to by any app; switching Instagram to a free Creator account takes a minute.

How does TikTok posting work?

Connect your TikTok account, then for each post choose who can watch and whether people can comment, duet or stitch. ClipFlame shows TikTok's music and branded content terms before it posts, as TikTok requires.

What if a scheduled post fails?

It shows on the calendar with the reason, such as an account that needs reconnecting. Fix it and send it again. Short network hiccups are retried on their own.

How does it find viral-worthy moments?

AI reads the whole transcript and looks for complete thoughts with a strong opening line: an opinion, a surprising number, a story with a punchline. Every clip has to make sense without the rest of the video.

How long are the clips?

Between 15 and 90 seconds, most of them 20 to 60. Each one starts and ends on a full sentence, so it works as a Short, a Reel or a TikTok. More on how long YouTube Shorts can be.

Can I fix a caption or change a clip?

Yes. In the editor you can move the start and end, fix any word, change the caption style, and re-render. Re-renders are free.

How are hours of video counted?

Each upload uses as many minutes as it is long, so a 30-minute podcast uses 30 minutes. Starter includes 4 hours a month and Pro 20 hours. Failed jobs don't count. Unused hours don't roll over to the next month.

What's coming next?

Arabic, Chinese and Japanese captions.

Can I paste a YouTube link?

No. Upload the original video file, or paste a Google Drive or Dropbox link or a direct link to a video file. Once the clips are ready, here's when to post them.

What kind of videos work best?

Talking videos: podcasts, interviews, tutorials, coaching, commentary and vlogs. Clear speech gives the best clips.

Which languages are supported?

English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch and Russian, plus Hindi. ClipFlame detects the spoken language on its own, and captions come out in that language. Arabic, Chinese and Japanese are next.

Can I use someone else's video?

Only if you own it or have permission.
