Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ClipFactory, from getting started to advanced features.

Getting Started

What is ClipFactory?

ClipFactory is an AI-powered platform that transforms long-form videos into short, share-ready clips. AWS services transcribe and analyze your content, then ClipFactory extracts the selected moments as video files for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and other platforms.

How does ClipFactory work?

The process is simple: (1) Upload your video file, (2) AWS services transcribe and analyze the content, (3) ClipFactory extracts and uploads the selected clips, and (4) Download your completed clips. Processing time varies with video length, workload, and retries.

What video formats does ClipFactory support?

We support MP4, MOV, WebM, and AVI formats. Videos can be up to 500 MB on the Free plan, 2 GB on Pro, and 5 GB on Business. All resolutions are supported, from SD to 4K.

Do I need to create an account?

Yes, you need a free account to use ClipFactory. Registration takes less than a minute and requires only your email address. You can sign up with your email or use Google/Microsoft OAuth for faster registration.

Pricing & Plans

What is included in the Free plan?

The Free plan includes 3 AI-processed trial videos per account, up to 5 clips per video, a 500 MB max file size, full video transcription, AI highlight detection, and all core features. Trial videos never renew, and advertisements are displayed. No credit card is required.

What is the difference between Free, Pro, and Business plans?

Free: 3 trial videos per account lifetime, 5 clips per video, ads displayed. Pro ($9/mo): 30 videos per calendar month, 10 clips per video, no ads, priority processing. Business ($29/mo): 60 videos per calendar month, 30 clips per video, no ads, priority processing, API access (coming soon).

Can I change my plan later?

Absolutely! You can upgrade or downgrade at any time. When upgrading, you get immediate access to the new limits. When downgrading, the change applies at the end of your current billing cycle.

What happens when I reach my video limit?

Free trial videos never renew, so you must upgrade to process more videos after using all three. Pro and Business limits reset at the start of each calendar month.

Are there ads on paid plans?

No. Advertisements are only shown on the Free plan. Both Pro and Business plans provide a completely ad-free experience.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Absolutely. You can cancel anytime from your billing settings. You'll retain access to your paid features until the end of your billing period. No questions asked.

Features & Capabilities

How accurate is the AI transcription?

AWS transcription generates timestamped text across multiple languages. Accuracy varies with audio quality, language, speakers, and background noise. Transcripts support highlight detection and clip metadata.

What is the viral score?

Each generated clip receives a viral potential score (0-100) based on AI analysis of engagement factors like pacing, emotional peaks, hooks, and content relevance. Higher scores indicate clips with greater potential for engagement and sharing.

Can I manually edit clips after generation?

Currently, ClipFactory generates clips automatically. However, all clips are downloaded as standard video files that you can edit further in any video editor like Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.

Does ClipFactory support multiple languages?

AWS transcription supports multiple languages. Results vary by language and audio quality, and the resulting transcript is used for highlight detection.

Can I download clips without watermarks?

Yes! All clips generated by ClipFactory are delivered without watermarks, ready to post directly to social media platforms.

Content & Privacy

Who owns the clips I generate?

You retain full ownership of all videos you upload and all clips generated from them. ClipFactory does not claim any rights to your content. You can use, modify, and distribute your clips freely.

Is my content private and secure?

Cloudflare R2 stores your processing assets and generated clips, while AWS services process audio and transcript data to provide transcription and analysis. Access is controlled through the Service. See the Privacy Policy for provider and retention details.

How long do you keep my videos?

Original uploads and extracted audio are temporary. ClipFactory deletes them after every intended clip is extracted and uploaded successfully; if any clip fails or remains pending, those source assets are retained for retry. Generated clips remain until you delete the clip or its parent video. Deletion is performed by the application and may not be instantaneous across provider infrastructure.

What about copyright and intellectual property?

You are responsible for ensuring that videos you upload do not infringe on third-party copyrights. ClipFactory is a tool for processing your own content. We do not endorse or facilitate copyright infringement.

Technical & Support

How long does it take to process a video?

Processing time depends on video length and plan type. Free plan videos typically process within 5-15 minutes. Pro and Business plans have priority processing and usually complete within 2-5 minutes.

What if my video fails to process?

If clip extraction or upload fails, the original video and extracted audio are retained so processing can be retried. Common causes include corrupted files, unsupported formats, or temporary processing and storage errors.

Is there an API for developers?

API access is coming soon! It will be available on the Business plan, allowing developers to integrate ClipFactory into their own applications and workflows.

How do I contact support?

You can reach our support team at support@clipfactory.win. We typically respond within 24 hours. For urgent issues, check our help documentation or community forum.

Is ClipFactory available on mobile?

ClipFactory is currently available as a web application optimized for desktop and tablet browsers. Mobile support is on our roadmap for future releases.

Use Cases & Best Practices

What types of content work best with ClipFactory?

ClipFactory works great for podcasts, interviews, educational content, vlogs, webinars, tutorials, and any long-form video with engaging moments. The AI is trained to identify hooks, emotional peaks, and high-engagement segments.

Can I use ClipFactory for live streams?

Currently, ClipFactory processes pre-recorded videos. However, you can download your live stream recordings and process them with ClipFactory to extract highlight clips.

How many clips should I generate per video?

It depends on your content and goals. A 1-hour video might yield 5-15 quality clips. Start with the default settings and adjust based on your content. You can always regenerate clips if needed.

What's the best way to repurpose content with ClipFactory?

Upload your long-form content (podcasts, webinars, YouTube videos), generate clips, and distribute across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and LinkedIn. This maximizes reach and engagement from a single piece of content.
