Question 1

What is ClipMatch?

Accepted Answer

ClipMatch helps you turn real footage into story-driven short-form videos. Upload the clips you already have, tell us your story (or paste a script you already wrote), and our AI matches your footage to each line, adds captions, and helps you export a finished video.

Question 2

Is ClipMatch free?

Accepted Answer

ClipMatch is free to try — uploading, matching, previewing, and editing cost nothing. Exporting finished videos takes a monthly plan: Starter ($14.99/month, 5 exports) or Pro ($49.99/month, 20 exports). See our pricing page for details.

Question 3

What clip formats do you support?

Accepted Answer

We support common video formats like MP4 and MOV, plus JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC photos. Maximum file size is 50MB per clip.

Question 4

Do I need a script to get started?

Accepted Answer

No. If you already have a script, paste it in and we'll match it to your clips. If you don't, our Story Builder guides you through a few quick questions and helps you put one together — your story, your creative control.

Question 5

How does AI clip matching work?

Accepted Answer

Our AI reads your script line by line and matches each line to the clip from your footage that best fits it, based on what's actually happening in the shot — not just filenames or timestamps.

Question 6

Can I override the AI's matches?

Accepted Answer

Yes, always. The AI gives you a first cut and ranked alternatives for each line, but you review, swap, or re-splice any match. Your footage and your story stay under your control.

Question 7

What if the AI doesn't have a good match for a line?

Accepted Answer

You'll see that line flagged so you can pick a different clip yourself, adjust the line, or upload more footage. The AI assists — it doesn't guess silently.

Question 8

Can I record a voiceover?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you can record or upload a voiceover directly in the tool, and it's aligned to your script automatically.

Question 9

Can I style my captions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can choose from caption styles and adjust them before you export.

Question 10

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Plans are monthly: Starter is $14.99 for 5 video exports, Pro is $49.99 for 20. One credit is one finished export — previewing and editing are always free, and every project includes 3 free re-exports in case you need to fix small mistakes.

Question 11

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through our secure payment processor, Stripe.

Question 12

What counts as an export?

Accepted Answer

An export is a finished video you download. Previews don't count, and failed exports don't count. Re-exporting a project — to fix captions, timing, or clip choices — is free up to 3 times per project; after that, another export of the same project counts as a new finished video export.

Question 13

What happens to my footage?

Accepted Answer

Your clips and photos are processed securely and stored only for as long as your account is active or your project needs them. We don't use your footage for AI training.

Question 14

Who can see my footage?

Accepted Answer

Only you can see your uploaded clips and photos. We don't share, sell, or use them for any purpose other than providing the service to you.

Question 15

Can I delete my data?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your account settings. Session data for anonymous users is automatically purged.
