FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Clippingli a drop-in Submagic clone?
No. It does not copy their scheduler, seating, or models. It copies the job: long video to captioned shorts, on a computer you control.
Can I export then finish in Submagic?
You can export MP4 from Clippingli and take it anywhere. We do not integrate with their account.
What does 'lifetime' mean?
