Built for the full edit

From source media to a finished vertical clip.

ClipForge keeps the preparation work in one desktop project so creators can make deliberate edits instead of pushing an untouched file to another platform.

Work from original media

Import files you own or are authorized to use. Each project's sources, transcripts, edits, and outputs stay organized together.

Find the right moments

Generate or import a transcript, align word timing, and create highlight candidates from the material you selected.

Review before export

Preview timing, adjust the clip, edit titles and captions, and render a vertical result before it goes anywhere.

Publish with control

Choose a connected destination, review its settings, and explicitly approve each transfer. ClipForge does not publish in the background.

Inside ClipForge

A working desktop flow, from transcript to output.

Each screen stays tied to the same local project, so the source, transcript, clip decisions, rendered file, and publishing details remain easy to inspect.

ClipForge clip editor showing highlight candidates, a vertical video preview, timeline, caption style, crop position, and render controls — **Shape the clip.** Compare candidates, preview the vertical crop, adjust timing and captions, then render the selected edit.

ClipForge transcript workspace showing timed transcript segments, source playback, editing, alignment, and search controls — **Review the transcript.** Search timed segments, correct the text, and align words before generating highlight candidates.

ClipForge outputs workspace showing successful renders, a vertical video preview, editable publishing metadata, and connected broadcast destinations — **Inspect the output.** Play the finished render, edit publishing details, and choose only the destinations you intend to use.

Publishing integrations

Prepare once, then choose where it goes.

ClipForge can send a reviewed output to YouTube, Typefully, or TikTok. Each transfer starts from the rendered file and post details in your local project.

YouTube

Upload a clip with its title, description, category, privacy setting, and optional scheduled release.

Typefully

Create or schedule a media draft for the X and Threads channels in your configured Typefully social set.

Local by default

Your workspace stays on your computer.

ClipForge stores project files, media, transcripts, and rendered clips in a workspace you choose. Platform credentials use operating-system secure storage. A file leaves your computer only when you ask ClipForge to use a configured service, such as transcription or publishing.
