FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about ClipForge AI. Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out to our team at support@strategia-x.com.

Getting Started

How do I sign up and get started with ClipForge AI?

Head to the signup page and create your account in under 30 seconds -- no credit card required. Once you are in, the onboarding walkthrough guides you through uploading your first video, reviewing AI-detected clips, and exporting. Most users have their first clip exported within 5 minutes of signing up.

What are the system and browser requirements?

ClipForge is a fully web-based platform, so there is nothing to install. It works on any modern browser including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. All processing happens in the cloud, so your computer specs do not affect rendering speed or output quality.

How long does it take to process a video?

Processing time depends on video length and your plan tier. A typical 60-minute video processes in 3 to 5 minutes. Shorter videos under 15 minutes usually complete in under 90 seconds. Agency plan users get priority queue access for faster turnaround during peak hours.

What do I get on the Free plan?

The Free plan includes 3 videos per month with a 30-minute maximum length per video, 720p export quality, AI clip detection, one caption style, and smart reframing. Exported clips include a small ClipForge watermark. It is a fully functional plan you can use indefinitely -- no trial expiration.

Is there a steep learning curve?

Not at all. ClipForge is designed so that no editing experience is necessary. The guided onboarding walks you through each step, and the AI handles clip detection, reframing, and captioning automatically. Most users are comfortable with the full workflow after processing their first video.

AI & Technology

How does the AI detect the best moments in a video?

ClipForge uses multi-signal analysis that evaluates three layers simultaneously: audio energy (laughter, raised voices, dramatic pauses), transcript emotion (surprise, humor, conflict, inspiration), and visual engagement markers (gestures, scene changes, on-screen movement). These signals are combined into a composite score that surfaces the most compelling moments.

How accurate is the virality scoring?

Our virality model is trained on millions of high-performing short-form clips across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. In internal benchmarks, clips scored in the top 20% by ClipForge outperform manually selected clips by an average of 2.4x in engagement. The score is a strong directional signal, though actual performance always depends on your audience and posting strategy.

Does ClipForge use my videos to train its AI models?

No. Your video content is never used to train, fine-tune, or improve ClipForge AI models. Your uploads are processed solely to generate your clips and are not shared with any third party. This is a firm policy commitment, not just a default setting.

What is the AI Hook Writer and how does it work?

The AI Hook Writer uses Claude AI to generate 5 alternative opening hooks for each clip, each targeting a different psychological trigger: curiosity ("You won't believe what happened..."), shock (a surprising stat or statement), story (narrative opening), humor (irony or self-deprecation), and authority ("After 10 years in this field..."). Each variant includes the target platforms it performs best on and an explanation of the persuasion mechanism. Available on Pro and Agency plans.

How does smart reframing and speaker tracking work?

When converting 16:9 video to 9:16 vertical format, ClipForge identifies active speakers and key visual subjects in each frame, then dynamically adjusts the crop window to keep them centered. The tracking adapts to multi-speaker scenes, panning smoothly between participants as the conversation shifts.

How are auto-captions generated and how accurate are they?

Captions are generated using advanced speech-to-text processing that achieves over 95% accuracy across clear audio in English, with support for multiple languages. The system handles filler words, speaker overlap, and background noise gracefully. You can review and edit any caption text before exporting.

Video Formats & Processing

What video formats does ClipForge accept?

ClipForge supports all major video formats including MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, WMV, and FLV. In most cases you can upload directly from your recording software or download folder without any conversion step. If you encounter an unsupported format, our support team can help identify a quick workaround.

What is the maximum video length and upload size?

Maximum video length depends on your plan: 30 minutes on Free, 2 hours on Creator, and 4 hours on Pro and Agency. Upload file size is capped at 2 GB across all plans. For files larger than 2 GB, we recommend compressing with Handbrake or a similar tool before uploading -- this does not affect clip quality.

What output formats and aspect ratios are available?

ClipForge exports in MP4 (H.264) by default, which is universally compatible with all social platforms. You can choose from three aspect ratios: 9:16 vertical (TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels), 1:1 square (Instagram feed, LinkedIn), and 16:9 landscape (YouTube, websites). Each export includes platform-specific encoding presets.

What export resolution can I expect?

The Free plan exports at 720p. All paid plans (Creator, Pro, Agency) export at full 1080p resolution, which meets the recommended specs for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Exports are encoded at high bitrate to preserve visual quality, even for fast-motion or text-heavy content.

Features & Capabilities

What caption styles are available?

ClipForge offers multiple animated caption styles including Bold Pop (large, attention-grabbing text), Highlight Wave (word-by-word color highlighting), Karaoke (timed syllable highlighting), and several more. Each style is fully customizable -- you can adjust font, size, color, position, and animation timing. The Free plan includes one style; paid plans unlock all styles.

How does virality scoring work in practice?

After processing your video, every detected clip receives a virality score from 0 to 100 based on engagement predictors like emotional intensity, hook strength, pacing, and visual dynamism. Clips are ranked by score so you can prioritize your strongest content first. You can filter by score threshold and sort by different criteria to find exactly what you need.

Can I batch export clips with platform-specific presets?

Yes. On paid plans, you can select multiple clips and export them all at once with presets optimized for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and LinkedIn. Each preset applies the correct aspect ratio, resolution, and encoding settings for that platform. This saves significant time when repurposing one long video across multiple channels.

What is the Brand Kit feature?

Brand Kits (available on Pro and Agency plans) let you save your brand colors, fonts, logo, and intro/outro templates as reusable presets. When you export clips, your brand elements are applied automatically, ensuring every piece of content is on-brand without manual setup each time. Agency users can create separate Brand Kits per client workspace.

Does ClipForge support content scheduling and direct publishing?

Yes. Pro and Agency plan users can publish clips directly to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn from within ClipForge — no manual download and re-upload required. The built-in content calendar lets you plan your posting schedule visually, schedule clips to go live at optimal times, tag by platform and campaign, and track your publishing cadence across all channels.

Pricing & Plans

What are the available plan tiers?

ClipForge offers four tiers: Free (3 videos/month, 720p, watermark), Creator at $19/month (20 videos, 1080p, all caption styles), Pro at $49/month (100 videos, team sharing, API access, brand kits), and Agency at $149/month (unlimited videos, white-label output, multiple workspaces, priority support). All paid plans include a 14-day free trial.

Is there a free trial and do I need a credit card?

Yes. All paid plans include a 14-day free trial with full access to every feature in that tier. No credit card is required to start the trial. You only enter payment details if you decide to continue after the trial ends. The Free plan is available indefinitely with no trial expiration.

Do you offer an annual billing discount?

Yes. All paid plans offer annual billing at a 20% discount compared to monthly pricing. Creator drops to $15.20/month, Pro to $39.20/month, and Agency to $119.20/month when billed annually. You can switch between monthly and annual billing at any time from your account settings.

What is the watermark policy?

The Free plan includes a small ClipForge watermark in the corner of exported clips. All paid plans (Creator, Pro, Agency) export completely watermark-free. The Agency plan goes a step further with white-label output, allowing you to add your own branding and deliver clips to clients under your agency name.

Security & Privacy

How are my uploaded videos stored and protected?

All uploaded videos are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption and encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3. Videos are stored in isolated cloud storage with strict access controls. Only your account can access your content -- ClipForge staff cannot view your videos without explicit authorization during a support request.

What is the data retention policy?

Uploaded source videos are automatically deleted 30 days after processing unless you explicitly choose to retain them in your library. Exported clips remain available in your account for as long as your subscription is active. You can manually delete any file at any time, and deletion is permanent and irreversible.

Is ClipForge compliant with GDPR and CCPA?

Yes. ClipForge is fully compliant with GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), and CPRA regulations. You can request a complete export or deletion of your personal data at any time. We maintain a detailed privacy policy and data processing agreement available on our legal page.

Does ClipForge share my video content with third parties?

No. Your video content is never shared with, sold to, or accessed by any third party. ClipForge does not use your content for advertising, training, or any purpose beyond generating your clips. Our infrastructure partners (cloud storage, CDN) process encrypted data only and have no access to your actual content.

Support & Troubleshooting

How do I get help if I have a problem?

You can reach our support team at support@strategia-x.com or through the in-app help widget. Free and Creator plan users receive email support with a response time under 24 hours. Pro users get priority email support. Agency users have access to priority support with a dedicated response channel and typical response times under 2 hours.

What should I do if my video fails to process?

Processing failures are rare but can happen with corrupted files or extremely unusual codecs. First, try re-uploading the file. If the issue persists, check that your file is under the 2 GB size limit and in a supported format. You can also try re-encoding the video with Handbrake. If none of that works, contact support with the error message and we will investigate within one business day.

What is your refund policy?

If you are not satisfied with ClipForge, you can cancel your subscription at any time. We offer a full refund within the first 30 days of any paid plan. After 30 days, your plan remains active until the end of the current billing cycle with no further charges. Contact support@strategia-x.com for refund requests.
