What ClipEmber is built around

Priced per video, not per minute

One credit is one run on a 1–20 minute window of a video, and every clip that run produces is included. A 20-minute window costs the same as a 2-minute one; a longer video is clipped one window at a time.

Autopilot runs a channel for you

Point it at YouTube channels, including Creative Commons sources. It clips new uploads, writes the attribution line for CC-BY videos into the caption, and queues posts for your review or posts them on a schedule.

Direct posting to TikTok

Write the caption and pick who can see it, and the clip goes straight to your TikTok profile. YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels publish at the time you set.

Works from Claude and ChatGPT

The hosted MCP server exposes 31 tools: create clips, review Autopilot's picks and manage the posting calendar from a chat, on any plan.

Edit by transcript, recompile for free

Click a word to cut it from the clip. Re-rendering after an edit does not use a credit.
