How it works
From raw takes to a finished video
- Drop in your raw clips
MP4, MOV or WebM, retakes and all: up to 20 clips and 30 minutes, in order. Spoke from a script? Paste it in Script & notes.
- Choose your voice and style
Keep my voice or AI narrates, then Motion. Keep the best takes, Cut silent moments, Camera moves, Replays & slow motion: all on by default.
- Generate, tweak, export
The price shows first. Click Generate, change any scene in the studio, and export a 1080p MP4 in 16:9 or 9:16.
What it does
An AI editor cuts. An AI director animates.
Keep the best takes
One take per line. False starts, stumbles, off-camera talk, silences: cut. 29 minutes of takes became a 3-minute intro.
A window that moves
Full screen, then a card beside big words, then a corner while an animation plays. Your name on a card.
Big words and a lesson list
Key words land on screen as you say them. Say “what you will learn” and the list lights up, item by item.
Pictures as cut-aways
From your Library, your uploads or made by AI, on the word that names them, while your voice carries on.
Camera moves & replays
A slow push, a quick zoom on a detail, a fast moment replayed in slow motion. The cuts between takes, hidden.
Sound that holds together
Your voice evened out from clip to clip. Switch on Sound effects: whooshes, hits and clicks, timed to what moves.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can AI cut my bad takes automatically?
Yes. With Keep my voice, Keep the best takes is on by default: the AI editor keeps your best take of each line and cuts false starts, stumbles, repeats and off-camera talk. Turn it off and your clips are joined in your order, with only the silences cut if Cut silent moments is on.
Which video files can I upload?
MP4, MOV or WebM: one clip or several, up to 5 GB each, up to 20 clips and 30 minutes in all. You put them in the order they play.
Will the editor change what I said?
It works the way an editor does, choosing among the takes you filmed. It keeps or cuts whole words, and it doesn’t build sentences you never said out of pieces of different takes. Your recording stays the voice.
Can I change the edit afterwards?
Yes. On the studio’s timeline you trim, split and pace scenes. Click any scene to change its words or its drawing colours, or ask the video assistant in plain words and approve its plan. When a change costs credits, the price is shown first.
Do I have to be on camera?
No. Choose AI narrates: Clipteach writes a narration from what you say, or from what your clips show, and a voice you pick reads it. It suits screen footage, products and silent clips.
Does it add music?
No. Sound effects are an optional switch: whooshes, hits, clicks and the sound of the place, made for your video and timed to what moves. No music.
