Everything a clip needs, done by AI
AI finds the viral moments
Claude reads the whole transcript and picks the hooks, punchlines, and payoffs most likely to stop the scroll.
Word-by-word captions
Karaoke-style captions with word highlighting, timed by on-device speech recognition — the style top Shorts channels use.
Auto-focus vertical crop
AI tracks the speaker and keeps them centered in the 9:16 frame, cutting cleanly at scene changes.
Ready-to-post copy
One click writes the caption and hashtags for TikTok, Shorts, and Reels — copy, paste, publish.
Short-form video is how creators get paid in 2026
YouTube Shorts shares ad revenue with creators. TikTok pays through its creator rewards program. Podcasters and streamers pay clippers to grow their audience. The bottleneck has always been editing time — Whoop removes it, so you can publish in minutes what used to take an evening.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make money with Whoop?+

Whoop automates the editing so you can publish more clips in less time.
Do I need video editing skills?+
No. Paste a YouTube link and the AI finds the most engaging moments, crops them to vertical 9:16, adds word-by-word captions and a title overlay, and writes the social caption and hashtags for you.
What does a finished clip include?+
Every clip is rendered in 1080×1920 vertical format with animated word-highlight captions, smart auto-focus cropping that keeps people centered, an optional title overlay, and a ready-to-post caption with hashtags.

Finding the best moments takes about 30 seconds, and rendering a clip usually takes one to two minutes. You can queue several clips at once and download them when they’re done.
Can I clip any YouTube video?+
