Local-first · Private · No upload bottleneck

Turn long videos into shorts
— on your machine.

ClipForge is an OpusClip-style AI clipping studio that runs entirely on your computer. Point it at a podcast, stream VOD, or gameplay recording — it finds the moments, reframes to 9:16, burns captions, and exports. Your raw footage never gets uploaded.

🔒

Your footage stays local

Transcription, reframing, and export all run on your machine. Nothing uploads — ideal for long footage, client work, and privacy-sensitive video.

No upload wait

A 40 GB stream VOD doesn't crawl through an upload bar. Your computer does the work, so multi-hour sources are no problem.

🎯

Smart auto-reframe

Face tracking and active-speaker detection keep subjects centered in vertical. Fit-to-frame and multi-shot reframing built in.

🎮

Gamer / streamer layouts

Auto-detect a facecam and compose gameplay + cam — stacked or picture-in-picture — the look made for gaming shorts. Available on Pro.

💬

Styled captions

Word-level captions with presets and full control of font, color, size, and position — burned in on export, exactly as you set them.

🧠

Your AI, your choice

Run a fully local model (Ollama) or bring your own API key. You're never locked into — or billed for — someone else's cloud.

FAQ

Does my video get uploaded?

No. Transcription, reframing, captions, and export all run locally. If you choose the optional cloud AI key, only small transcript text is sent to your chosen provider — never your video.

Do I need a powerful PC?

For local AI clip selection (Ollama) a reasonably modern machine helps. Or bring your own API key and any machine works — the heavy video processing is efficient FFmpeg.

How does licensing work?

One subscription unlocks the app on your devices. Activate by pasting your license key in-app; it works offline for up to two weeks between checks.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime from the customer portal. You keep access through the end of your billing period.
