The CapCut alternative that finds the clips for you
Looking for a CapCut alternative for short-form clips? CapCut is a great editor once you know which moment you want. ClipMaster does the step before that: it goes through a video up to an hour long, finds the moments worth posting and hands them back captioned and framed for vertical.
Finds the moments, already ranked
Every clip comes back labelled before you render anything: a virality tier of Hot, Warm or Neutral and a clip type such as Highlight, Story or How-to. You start from a shortlist, not a scrub bar.
Search your footage by describing it
Type "crowd cheering" or "the product reveal" and ClipMaster searches the audio and the picture together, then jumps to the matching moments.
From finished clip to scheduled post
Connect a YouTube channel once, pick a clip and choose a time. AI drafts the title, description and hashtags, and a calendar shows everything queued.

Questions about switching from CapCut
Is ClipMaster a replacement for CapCut?
For short-form clips cut from longer videos, yes: trim, captions, zoom, screen effects, speed, GIFs, stickers, reaction clips, emoji, sound effects, your logo and a progress bar all happen in ClipMaster, and Auto-edit can do the first pass in one click. For multi-cam edits, colour grading or template-driven edits, keep CapCut; ClipMaster hands you a clip that is ready to drop in.
Doesn't CapCut already turn long videos into shorts?
It has a long-video-to-shorts tool. ClipMaster is built around that one job: it takes videos up to an hour, ranks every clip by virality tier and type, lets you search the footage by describing a moment, and on paid plans analyses the picture as well as the audio.
How much does ClipMaster cost?
1 token = 1 minute of video. New accounts get 10 free minutes with no card required. The Creator plan is $19 a month for 200 minutes, and unused tokens roll over and never expire.

Vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, horizontal 16:9 for YouTube, square 1:1 for feeds, or the original aspect.
