Pricing

Priced on the video, not a subscription.

A clip run costs what the AI processing takes — the length of your source video plus the number of clips. Drawn from the shared Ounie wallet every Ounie product uses. No seats, no monthly minimum.

credits / minute of video

credits / clip returned

minutes × 20 + clips × 20 = your price

1 credit = 1¢

The video charge is fixed by the source length (read when you submit). The per-clip charge settles only on the clips actually delivered — a short source that yields fewer clips, or a failed or aborted job, refunds the unused reserve automatically, in full.

How credits work

1 credit = 1¢, bought and managed on ounie.com. A job reserves 20 credits per minute of source video plus 20 per clip requested; delivery settles it; a short or failed job refunds automatically. Ounie plans with a monthly allowance spend the allowance first.

Free, forever

Your clip library, re-downloading any clip you've made, and share pages (private by default until you publish one). Only the clipping run itself bills.

Agents draw the same wallet

Over REST and MCP, an agent uses a key that draws your credits and is refused with a top-up link when short — never overdrawn. There's no keyless x402 rail; clipping is a multi-minute async job that needs an account. Read the docs.

FAQ

Got questions?

What does Clip Machine actually do?

You paste a long video — a YouTube link or a direct video URL — and choose how many highlight clips to pull (1 to 60) plus an aspect ratio. Clip Machine finds the best moments and cuts each one into its own short vertical clip you can download and post. That's the whole product: highlight detection and vertical clip cutting.

What videos can I use?

A YouTube link, or a direct link to a video file (.mp4, .mov, .webm, and similar). Longer sources take longer — clipping a long recording runs for a few minutes, and the job updates itself while it works.

How much does it cost?

A clip run is priced on the AI processing it takes — the source video's length plus the number of clips: 20 Ounie credits per minute of video plus 20 credits per clip returned (1 credit = 1¢). So a 27-minute podcast cut into 5 clips is about 640 credits ($6.40). The video charge is fixed by the source length, read when you submit; the per-clip charge settles only on the clips actually delivered, and any unused reserve refunds automatically. There's no subscription; you buy credits at ounie.com/dashboard/settings.

What happens if a job fails or comes back short?

You're charged only for clips that actually come back. A failed job, a timeout, or an abort refunds the whole reservation, and a source that yields fewer clips than you asked for refunds the difference — automatically and in full. You never pay for clips that don't exist.

What aspect ratios can I get?

9:16 (TikTok, Reels, Shorts), 1:1 and 4:5 for the feed, plus 16:9, 4:3, and 3:4. Each clip is reframed to the ratio you pick, keeping the subject in frame — a widescreen source becomes a native vertical clip.

Can my AI agents use it?

Yes. Clip Machine is built for agents over REST and MCP — submit a job, poll it, list your library, check credits. A key draws the same Ounie credits you do and is refused with a top-up link when the balance is short, so it can never overdraw. There is no keyless x402 rail, because clipping is a multi-minute async job that needs an account.

Who owns the clips?

You do. Finished clips sit in your library on permanent URLs; downloads are free forever. Every clip is private by default — it gets a public share page only when you turn one on, and you can turn it back off any time.
