Last checked
ViewMade's clipping strip outputs 1080x1920 vertical video with 7 embedded caption styles, measured on 22 August 2026. You give it a YouTube link to an interview. It reframes the footage to 9:16, burns in word-by-word captions, and returns a finished vertical clip with a title, description, and tags. This page covers exactly that job and nothing else.
What you give it
One input: a YouTube link to the interview you want clipped. The strip takes that link, pulls the footage, and reframes it for vertical viewing. It does not take a raw video file, a script, or a topic. If your interview is not on YouTube, this strip is not the entry point for it. Everything downstream, the reframing, the captions, the hook overlay, starts from that single link.
What comes back
Each render returns a finished vertical Short:
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 1080x1920 vertical |
| Captions | 7 styles, burned into the image |
| Voiceover | 5 languages available |
| Metadata | Title, description, and tags |
| Audio | Background music included |
| Footage | Licensed real footage with a media credit file |
You download the file and publish it yourself. ViewMade does not upload, edit, delete, or comment on your channel.
How it works
- Paste the YouTube link. The strip reads the interview from the link you provide.
- The footage is reframed to 9:16. The framing follows the speaker so the vertical cut keeps the person on screen.
- Captions are burned in. You pick one of 7 caption styles; the words appear on the footage itself, not as a separate subtitle track.
- The render package is returned. You get the vertical clip plus the title, description, tags, and the media credit file.
Where the footage comes from
For this use case, the footage comes from the interview you link. The strip does not generate frames with a video model and does not substitute stock or AI imagery for your source. What it adds is reframing, captions, and the hook overlay on top of the real recording.
This matters because ViewMade's broader pipeline, the documentary strip, sources real archive footage, maps, and charts rather than generated visuals, and ships a media credit file naming the source of every clip with each render. The clipping strip follows the same principle: real footage in, real footage out, with the source documented. Nothing in the output is a synthetic stand-in for the person who spoke. If a viewer sees a face in your clip, it is the face from the interview, reframed for a phone screen.
What it costs
There is no free tier, and production starts after a successful payment.
| Plan | Monthly price | Renders per month | Cost per Short |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $29 | 50 | $0.58 |
| Pro | $59 monthly, or $29.50 per month billed annually ($354 per year, a 50% discount) | 150 | $0.20 |
The Pro plan adds 10 AI children's videos per month, a priority render queue, and API plus MCP access. Starter is monthly only; there is no annual Starter plan. Agency pricing is custom.
When this is not the right fit
This strip clips and reframes an interview that already exists. It does not cover every job in the short-form workflow, and three situations call for a different tool.
If you want to edit the interview yourself, cutting, arranging, and polishing the recording with full control over every cut point, Descript is built for editing around a recording and gives you the most control of the tools measured. If your goal is a presenter on camera without a camera, HeyGen produces an avatar-led video instead of reframing existing footage. If you want broad general-purpose generation from a prompt rather than clipping a specific interview, InVideo handles that job.
The clipping strip also does not publish for you. You download the file and upload it to your channel yourself. If you need scheduled, hands-off publishing from a topic, AutoShorts covers that workflow.
