Hardware

System requirements for each machine.

Clipping runs on your Mac or PC. You need an OpenAI API key. A separate graphics card is not required.

Common questions

Does Clippingli need a graphics card?

No. A separate graphics card is not required.

Will 8 GB of memory work?

For one video at a time, if other apps are closed. Use 16 GB if you clip several videos in a row.

How much disk should I keep free?

15 GB for the app plus one video and its clips. Keep 50 GB on an SSD if you clip a week of episodes.

Is an Intel Mac slower?
