Question 1

What is TryClip and how is it different from Opus Clip?

Accepted Answer

TryClip turns one long YouTube video into many short vertical clips, each with animated captions, a 9:16 reframe that tracks the speaker, and a viral score from 0 to 100. It reads like Opus Clip on the surface, but the caption styles, the language options, and the per-project brand controls are built for creators who post in more than one language.

Question 2

Who is TryClip for?

Accepted Answer

Podcasters, YouTubers, coaches, and short-form editors who already record long videos and need a steady stream of clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Agencies use it to cut clips for several clients at once without mixing up brand styles.

Question 3

How do I give TryClip a video?

Accepted Answer

Two ways. Paste a YouTube link and TryClip pulls the video in, or upload a file straight from your computer. Either way you get the same clips, captions, and viral scores back.

Question 4

How long until my clips are ready?

Accepted Answer

Most videos finish in a few minutes. Longer uploads and high-resolution files take a bit more. You can leave the tab, and TryClip notifies you when the clips are done.

Question 5

Is there a free way to try it?

Accepted Answer

There's a Free plan, no credit card. Run real videos through it and see the clips, captions, and viral scores before you pay.

Question 6

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Plans are tiered: Free, Starter, and Pro. Each tier sets how many credits you get per month (1 credit = 1 minute of video). Captions, the 9:16 reframe, and the viral score come with every plan. Paid plans remove the watermark, and Pro adds your team plus posting to social.

Question 7

Do you charge per clip?

Accepted Answer

No. You pay per plan, not per clip. Once a video is processed you get all the clips TryClip finds in it, and you can export them as many times as you want.

Question 8

What happens if I hit my monthly limit?

Accepted Answer

Clips you already made stay in your account and stay exportable. To process more videos that month you can upgrade instantly or wait for the limit to reset. We tell you when you're close, so nothing stops mid-edit by surprise.

Question 9

Can I change or cancel my plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel from your account at any time. Changes apply right away, we prorate the difference, and there are no cancellation fees.

Question 10

What format and resolution do clips export in?

Accepted Answer

Vertical 9:16, sized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Paid plans export up to 1080p with captions burned into the video, so the clip looks the same everywhere you post it.

Question 11

Is there a watermark?

Accepted Answer

Free plan exports carry a small TryClip watermark. On paid plans the watermark is gone and the clip is clean. The captions and reframe are identical either way.

Question 12

Can I download the clips or do they post automatically?

Accepted Answer

You download each clip and post it yourself, so you stay in control of the caption text, the cover, and the timing on each platform. TryClip makes the clip, you decide when it goes live.

Question 13

Can I tweak a clip before exporting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Trim the start and end, edit the caption text, change the caption style, and adjust the 9:16 crop if the auto-reframe missed a moment. Then export the final version.

Question 14

Do you support a platform you haven't listed yet?

Accepted Answer

Clips export as a standard vertical video file, so they work anywhere that takes 9:16 video. If you'd like a preset for another platform, email us and we'll weigh it by how many people ask.

Question 15

How does TryClip pick the clips?

Accepted Answer

It reads the transcript and finds the moments most likely to hold attention: a strong hook, a clear story, a punchline, a takeaway. Each one becomes its own clip with a start and end you can still adjust by hand.

Question 16

How long can my source video be?

Accepted Answer

Long-form is the point. Feed it a full podcast episode, an interview, or a webinar. Your plan sets the maximum length per video, and higher tiers allow longer uploads.

Question 17

What do the animated captions look like?

Accepted Answer

Words appear in sync with the speech, highlighted one phrase at a time so the clip is easy to follow with the sound off. You pick a caption style and font, set your colors, and reuse the same look across every clip in a project.

Question 18

Can captions be in another language?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TryClip transcribes the speech and can translate the captions into other languages, so one recording becomes clips you can post for audiences who speak Spanish, Portuguese, English, and more.

Question 19

How does the 9:16 reframe work?

Accepted Answer

TryClip follows the speaker and keeps them centered as the shot moves from wide to vertical, so faces don't get cropped out. If a moment needs a different framing, drag the crop and TryClip holds it for that clip.

Question 20

How do I keep brands or clients separate?

Accepted Answer

Each brand or client lives in its own project. A project holds its own clips, its own caption style, fonts, and colors, so a clip you make for one client never picks up another client's look.

Question 21

Can my team review clips before they go out?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A clip can wait for one or more reviewers before it's marked ready. Reviewers leave comments, ask for a re-trim, or approve, and you can share a review link with a client who doesn't have a seat.

Question 22

What roles can team members have?

Accepted Answer

Owner, admin, editor, and viewer. Owners and admins handle billing and members; editors upload videos, trim clips, and edit captions; viewers watch and comment without changing anything. Roles are set per project.

Question 23

Can I set one caption style for a whole brand?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Save a brand caption style (font, colors, animation) on a project and every new clip starts from it, so a whole team turns out clips that look consistent without setting it up each time.

Question 24

What does the viral score mean?

Accepted Answer

Every clip gets a score from 0 to 100 that estimates how likely it is to perform as short-form. It weighs the hook, the pacing, and how self-contained the moment is. Use it to decide which clips to post first, not as a guarantee.

Question 25

Can I trust the viral score?

Accepted Answer

Treat it as a sorting tool, not a promise. It's good at pushing the strongest moments to the top of a long video so you don't watch the whole thing again. The final call on what to post is still yours.

Question 26

Does the AI write the captions for me?

Accepted Answer

The AI transcribes the speech and lays out the animated captions in sync, so you start from accurate text instead of typing it. You can fix any word, trim filler, and adjust timing before you export.

Question 27

Does TryClip change what was said in my video?

Accepted Answer

No. Captions match the words spoken in your video. Translation aside, TryClip transcribes and clips your footage, it doesn't rewrite your message or put words in your mouth.

Question 28

What happens to a video after I upload it?

Accepted Answer

TryClip processes it to generate clips, captions, and viral scores, then keeps it in your account so you can come back and make more clips later. It's tied to your account, not shared publicly.

Question 29

Can I delete my videos and clips?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Delete any video or clip from your account whenever you want, and it's removed. Delete your whole account and everything tied to it goes with it.

Question 30

Is TryClip GDPR-compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TryClip is built around GDPR requirements: lawful processing, data minimization, and the right to erasure. EU customers can request a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) at any time, including on the Free plan.

Question 31

Do you use my videos to train anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Your videos are processed to make your clips, nothing else. We don't sell your footage and we don't hand it to outside parties beyond what's needed to deliver the clips back to you.

Question 32

What support channels do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Reach us from inside the app or by email, on every plan including the Free plan. Paid plans get priority routing, so your message lands near the top of the queue.

Question 33

What's the response time?

Accepted Answer

Most questions are answered within 24 hours on standard support, and within a few hours on paid plans. If a video gets stuck in processing, that gets looked at fast no matter your plan.

Question 34

Can you help if a clip looks wrong?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If a caption is off, the reframe missed the speaker, or a clip cut in an odd spot, send us the video and we'll dig into it and help you get a clean export.

Question 35

Is there a help center?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Guides cover uploading, picking and trimming clips, caption styles, translation, the 9:16 reframe, the viral score, and export. Everything is open and searchable, no login required.
