AI video clipper and editor with editable clips, run for you

FluidCut is an AI video editor and clip maker at fluidcut.app. I use it to turn long videos and recordings into short captioned clips, and to edit a recording from a plain-language brief. For client work I run it myself and review every result before it reaches you, so you receive finished files, not a raw tool output.

What goes wrong with other clipping tools

These are the complaints I hear most about other clipping tools. Here is what FluidCut does about each one, based on what its own pages state.

Credit metering. FluidCut is metered too, so I will not pretend otherwise. What differs is that the cost is shown before a job starts, and credits for a job that fails or finds no clips come back automatically. Standard clipping is billed per minute of source video, so you can work out a job’s cost from its length.

Export paywalls. Clips export as 1080p MP4 files with no watermark, in vertical, square or landscape. I download them and send them to you.

Clips that need fixing. Every clip opens in a timeline editor where captions, titles, B-roll, text and audio are separate layers. A typo is a one-word edit on the captions layer, not a re-export from scratch. Changes can be made by hand or described to the AI editor.

“30 clips and only 2 are postable”. FluidCut scores candidate moments for a clear opening, a complete point and a strong ending, and drops the ones that fail. A weak video returns fewer clips instead of filler. Each clip also comes with a title and a short reason for why it was picked, which makes my review faster.

I left out one complaint on purpose: approving a cut plan before anything is rendered. FluidCut’s pages do not describe that step for clipping, so I do not promise it. What I do instead is review the clips and their reasons myself before delivery.

How I use it for client work

1. You send the source: a YouTube link, or a video file (MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM or M4V, up to 2 GB; videos up to 180 minutes are clipped whole, and longer ones in parts).
2. We agree the format (9:16, square or 16:9), caption look and rough clip length.
3. I run the job and read through every clip against the original, checking that each one makes sense without the rest of the video and that captions are right. Mixed-language captions get an extra read, since FluidCut itself says to review them.
4. I fix what needs fixing in the editor, drop clips that are not worth posting, and deliver the MP4 files with the titles.

If you want a finished edit of your own recording rather than clips, I give FluidCut a brief (tighter pauses, captions, music, sound effects, zooms) and then refine the result before export.

What it covers beyond clipping

• Captions in Hindi, including Roman Hinglish, plus translated captions and dubbing.
• Animated skits from a script.
• Capturing supported YouTube Live, Twitch and Kick streams in beta.

When another route is better

FluidCut works on video, so audio-only files need a video version first. It exports MP4 only, not project files for other editors. If you need a hand-built cinematic edit with custom motion graphics, a human editor in a traditional timeline is the better fit, and I will say so before work starts.

Finished clips are kept for a limited time on FluidCut’s side, so I download and hand over your files rather than leaving them there.

What I need from you

The source video or link, a note on tone and audience, any caption style or brand colors you want, and the rights to publish the content. I send the delivery as files you can post yourself.
