Captions that pop, not crawl.

Word-by-word subtitles styled the way top creators style theirs — high contrast, bold, slightly uppercase, punched-in one word at a time. Burned into the pixels so they render identically on every platform.

  • Per-word timing from Whisper timestamps
  • Outlined SF-style font, readable on any background
  • Accent highlight on the loudest word — TikTok's #1 retention trick
  • No text-on-screen app required for your audience

so basically what i'm trying to say here is that

um the part nobody talks about is really

FAQ

Frequently asked

What is AlcheClip?+

AlcheClip is an AI-powered video clip generator that turns long YouTube videos or uploaded files into high-quality 9:16 vertical shorts for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Every clip ships with word-level burned-in captions, 1080p Lanczos upscaling, color grading, denoising, and unsharp masking — studio-grade output with zero manual editing.

How is AlcheClip different from Opus Clips?+

AlcheClip focuses on output quality: word-level burned captions, 1080p Lanczos upscale, real color grading (contrast, saturation, gamma), unsharp masking, and denoising baked into every clip. It has no watermark on Pro, no per-clip fees, and simpler pricing. Creators looking for a higher-quality Opus Clips alternative with cleaner captions and sharper video typically prefer AlcheClip.

Is AlcheClip a good Opus Clips alternative?+

Yes. AlcheClip was built specifically for creators who want the convenience of an AI clip generator without compromising on quality. Word-level karaoke-style captions, 1080p vertical output, transparent flat pricing (Free, $29/mo, $79/mo), no watermark on Pro, and private 30-day auto-delete storage make it one of the strongest Opus Clips alternatives available.

Do I need any editing software?+

No. Every clip ships with captions burned into the video pixels themselves. Download the MP4 and post it straight to TikTok, Reels, or YouTube Shorts — no CapCut, Premiere, or DaVinci required.

How long until my clips are ready?+

Most 30-minute podcasts render in 2–4 minutes. Longer sources or a busy queue can stretch to around 10 minutes. AlcheClip shows every step of the pipeline live via Supabase Realtime.

What video sources does AlcheClip support?+

Paste any YouTube URL, or upload video files up to 500MB directly. The MVP caps source length at 15 minutes. Supported inputs include podcasts, interviews, vlogs, lectures, livestreams, and any other talking-head long-form content.

Can I turn captions off?+

Captions are on by default because they roughly double short-form watch time. If you want the clean cut, toggle them off per job — AlcheClip will keep the raw cropped output.

What happens to my video?+

Originals live in private Supabase Storage, accessed only through short-lived signed URLs. Everything auto-deletes 30 days after upload. AlcheClip never trains on your content, never resells your footage, and applies zero watermarks on Pro.

What if a clip is bad?+

Every job returns 5–12 candidate clips, each scored by hook strength. Keep what pops, ignore the rest. No per-clip fees — ever.

How much does AlcheClip cost?+

AlcheClip has three plans: Free (1 job/month, no credit card), Basic ($29/month), and Pro ($79/month). Pro removes watermarks, unlocks priority queue, and delivers the highest-quality output. Cancel any time with no per-clip fees.

What captions does AlcheClip use?+

AlcheClip generates word-level, karaoke-style burned captions using OpenAI Whisper timestamps. Each word is highlighted exactly when spoken — the caption style top short-form creators use for retention. The font is high-contrast outlined SF-style, readable on any background.

Does AlcheClip watermark videos?+

The Free tier may include a small watermark. Both the Basic ($29) and Pro ($79) plans deliver clips with zero watermarks — the pixels are yours.
