From your first clip to your publishing routine. Find the answer, then get back to creating.
Getting started
What exactly does Clipto do?
Clipto is an AI studio for short-form creators. Turn long videos into clips, write scripts, make voiceovers and images, translate clips, plan a channel with Creator Launchpad and schedule publishing.
Can I create without connecting a channel?
Yes. Make a clip or use Studio, then download the result. Connecting a publishing channel is optional until you want to publish from Clipto.
Which videos can I use as sources?
Paste a supported YouTube or TikTok video link for a one-off clip. Save a public TikTok creator username or YouTube channel link under Sources to browse and monitor its videos. You must own the content or have permission to use it.
Do I need the TikTok account’s password?
No. Source browsing uses public content. You enter a username, not that creator’s password.
How do I connect publishing channels?
Under Publishing channels, connect YouTube directly with Google OAuth, or use Buffer for supported platforms. Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels and TikTok publishing are available via Buffer; these paths are built but not yet live-verified.
How long does creating a video take?
It depends on source access, video length, AI steps and the render queue. Browser previews help you review before a final render. Follow progress in your draft or clip page.
Content & rights
Can I repost any TikTok account?
You must own the content or have permission to republish it. Reposting someone else’s videos without rights can lead to copyright strikes or removal. Public availability does not grant permission.
Does this violate YouTube policy?
YouTube direct publishing uses YouTube’s API. Buffer is another connection method. Your content still needs to follow the destination platform’s rules: original or licensed material is different from unlicensed reposts and spam.
Are videos re-encoded or watermark-removed?
Clip edits are rendered with your chosen layout, captions and other settings. Clipto does not grant rights or remove copyright obligations, and it does not offer watermark removal as a feature.
Billing & control
How does token pricing work?
You start with 50 signup tokens. Tools charge per operation, with voiceover priced by text length. The Pricing page lists current costs and account limits. Creator Launchpad is a separate add-on.
How do I top up?
Use the account billing tools to buy token packs by card. Your account tier grows as your total purchases reach the upgrade thresholds.
Can I review before publishing?
Yes. You can review clips and choose an approval policy for automations. Publishing settings and review requirements are shown in the relevant workflow.
Can I schedule to every platform the same way?
Capabilities differ. YouTube direct supports visibility and native scheduling. Buffer supports scheduling for the listed platforms, but does not expose visibility for Instagram, Facebook or TikTok. TikTok via Buffer has no custom thumbnail option.
