From source to short

Your footage stays yours.
Your final cut feels finished.

ClipForge brings the repetitive parts of short-form editing into one focused, local-first workspace—while keeping you in control of every clip.

  1. 01

    Bring the source

    Start with a video you control.

    Upload a video or import an eligible YouTube link. ClipForge validates the media before processing begins.

  2. 02

    Understand the story

    Transcribe and surface strong moments.

    Local speech-to-text and deterministic fallback logic help identify reviewable highlight candidates.

  3. 03

    Fit the format

    Reframe for 9:16.

    Face-aware tracking follows the subject, with a safe center crop when no face is found.

  4. 04

    Keep final say

    Review, refine, then export.

    Edit timing, titles, metadata, focus, and caption style. Nothing publishes just because it rendered.

The cloud is optional.
Privacy isn’t.

ClipForge is designed to process media on your own host. Source files, transcripts, and exports stay there by default—without a hosted AI dependency.
