About SupoClip
SupoClip is an open-source AI video editor that transforms long-form video into vertical, captioned short clips. A user pastes a YouTube link or uploads a file, and the tool transcribes the content, identifies 15-60 second segments, scores them for virality, and crops to a 9:16 aspect ratio around the speaker. The resulting clips include word-synced animated captions and an AI-generated hook title, ready for export to TikTok, Reels, or Shorts with no watermarks.
Review
SupoClip enters a crowded space of AI clipping tools with a different licensing and deployment model. It's released under AGPL-3.0, which means the codebase is publicly available and can be self-hosted. The tool processes video through a specific pipeline-transcription, moment selection, cropping, and captioning-and gives users final editing controls before export.
Key Features
- AI moment scoring: An LLM evaluates segments for hook strength, engagement, value, and shareability, then selects the strongest 15-60 second moments.
- Speaker-aware cropping: The 9:16 crop follows the speaker's face and handles wide shots with split-screen framing.
- Word-synced captions and hook titles: Animated captions sync to word-level timestamps, and the tool generates an AI-written hook title burned into the clip.
- Multi-platform export: Clips export directly for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts with no watermarks on any plan.
- Flexible access methods: Available as a hosted web app, an iPhone app, a self-hosted Docker setup, a REST API, and an MCP server for AI agent integration.
Pricing and Value
The self-hosted version is free under the AGPL-3.0 license, with no monthly limits. The hosted web app at supoclip.com and the iPhone app are available, but specific pricing tiers or usage limits for the hosted plans are not yet defined in the available information. A "20% off for 3 months" launch tag is mentioned, though the base price it applies to isn't specified. The tool works with Gemini, GPT, Claude, or a local Ollama model when self-hosted, which lets users control their own API costs.
Pros
- Open-source codebase allows self-hosting without recurring platform fees.
- No watermarks appear on exports, regardless of which plan or deployment method is used.
- Multiple access points-web, mobile, API, and MCP server-cover different workflows.
- Final editing controls (trim, split, merge) remain with the user after AI processing.
- Optional B-roll addition and model choice give some flexibility in output style.
Cons
- Hosted pricing details are unclear, making cost comparisons difficult for users who don't want to self-host.
- Reliance on external LLM providers means self-hosted users must manage their own API keys and usage costs.
- The tool is not well suited for users who need manual control over clip selection-the AI picks moments based on its own scoring criteria, and the workflow starts from those selections.
SupoClip fits teams and individual creators who already have some technical comfort with self-hosting or API usage and who want to avoid per-export watermarks. It's also a practical option for developers building automated clipping pipelines through the MCP server or REST API. Creators who prefer a fully guided, non-technical experience may want to wait until the hosted pricing and plan limits become more concrete.
