❓ How to Use ClipPilot
Turn any long YouTube video into viral short clips in minutes. Follow the steps below to get started.
📋 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 01
Paste a YouTube URL
Go to YouTube, find a video you want to clip, copy the URL from your browser and paste it into the box on the Dashboard.
Tip: Videos between 5–60 minutes work best. The longer the video, the more viral moments we can find.
Step 02
Pick Your Settings
Choose how many clips you want, the target platform (Shorts, Reels, TikTok) and the clip style before hitting Generate.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions
What types of videos work best? ▶
Talking-head videos, podcasts, interviews, tutorials and vlogs work best — anything with clear speech. Videos between 5 and 60 minutes give the most clips. Music videos or content without much talking won't produce great results.
How long does processing take? ▶
Usually 2–5 minutes for a 10-minute video. Longer videos (30–60 min) may take 5–10 minutes. Processing happens on our server so you don't need to keep the tab open — come back and check My Clips or the Recent Jobs list in the sidebar.
Why did my job fail? ▶
The most common reasons are: (1) the video is private or age-restricted, (2) the URL was incorrect — make sure you paste the full YouTube URL, (3) the video has no clear speech to transcribe. Try a different public YouTube video to test. If it keeps failing, contact support.
Where do my clips get saved? ▶
All your clips are saved in My Clips (sidebar). Free and Starter plans keep clips for 7 days. Pro keeps them for 14 days, Agency for 30 days. Download anything you want to keep permanently before it expires.
What is the Viral Score? ▶
The Viral Score (0–100) is calculated by our AI based on factors like: curiosity hooks, conflict or tension, emotional intensity, speech pace, and whether a strong question or statement is made. Click the score badge on any clip to see the exact breakdown.
Can I cancel my subscription? ▶
Yes — go to Billing in the sidebar to manage your subscription. You can cancel any time and you'll keep access until the end of your billing period. Credits don't roll over between months.
I have a question not answered here — how do I get help? ▶
Email us at support@getclippilot.com and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.
