Upload your own video file

No link? Upload a video straight from your computer and Cliphi turns it into short, captioned clips. Here is what works.

You do not need a link. If your video is a file on your computer, you can upload it and Cliphi makes clips from it just the same. This is the way to go for footage you filmed yourself, or any video you have the rights to that is not a public link.

Steps

1. Choose Upload

On the Cliphi home page, switch to Upload Video, then drag your file onto the box or click to browse and pick it.

The upload box: drag a video here or click to browse.

2. Check your file will work

Most common video files work, like MP4 and MOV, up to 500 MB. A few things to know:

  • There is no time limit on an uploaded file, only the 500 MB size. A very long or very sharp video might need trimming first.
  • Older Windows video files (.wmv) are not supported. Save or export as MP4 first.
  • Filmed in 4K? No need to shrink it yourself. Cliphi handles that for you.

3. Choose how much to use

Once it uploads, Cliphi shows you the video. Use the whole thing, or drag the handles to pick just one part. Then select Continue.

The footage step, with the video and a slider to pick a section.

4. Look through your clips

Cliphi makes your clips and they show up one at a time, each cut tall with the speaker in frame and captions already on it.

5. Tweak and post

Open a clip to change the look with the controls down the side, then tap Get Clip to make the final version and download it, or Share to post it.

Using the right video

Upload videos you made or have permission to use. Reposting someone else's video without their say-so can break the rules on TikTok, YouTube, and the rest.

Quick check before you post

  • Watch the whole clip through.
  • The speaker stays in frame the whole way.
  • The captions read clearly and sit clear of the edges.
