I'm building a tool for creation cool video clips in minutes

I often experience discomfort when working with video: cutting the necessary fragments and gluing them together can take me hours.

Also, many people record podcasts now. And after talking to podcasters, it turned out that they are experiencing the same problem! But the biggest pain for them is creating a video cover and adding it. Especially when the cover needs to be manually adapted to vertical, square, and horizontal screens. It's annoying, it takes a lot of time, and so instead of posting 10 videos a week, people post 1 video a week.

And so I came to the idea: what if we create a super simple tool that has only 3 options: cutting and gluing pieces, automatic cover generation based on the video title... And that's when ClipWing was born.

How does it work? You just upload your long video, get the transcription, select the necessary text snippets, and voila - these snippets are glued into one short clip! You can adapt the video to different formats - square (for Instagram), horizontal (for YouTube), and vertical (for Stories or TikTok).
AI generates a video title based on the context of the selected text snippets and automatically adds it as a cover. But if you want to upload a custom image, no problem! Just add it from your device.

Sounds super easy and fast, right? But that's not all. You can also download the soundtrack for your video right here or use our collection - no boring stock sounds, all these sounds are composed by DJ Humus.

This way you will stop wasting your time on routine video cutting, adaptation and cover creation, and you will be able to distribute content much more often and faster.

What do you think of this tool? Please share your opinion and join the waitlist. Pre-order is available! ✨ https://clipwing.pro/

    That sounds like a great tool! Could definitely save a lot of time for content creators.
    On the design, I'm not a huge fan of the green, but all else looks clean and professional.

      thank you so much! i added a green background because my mascot is butterfly and i wanted the landing to look very natural 🦋🦋 but the application will be without green, just clean and light interface

      thank you for your support! can't wait to build it finally 🥹

    I like how you sell the idea, good engagement the "priority support" on pricing. The page is professional no rendering troubles on my phone.

    1. 1

      thank you so much for your feedback! and i love that you noticed this “priority support” thing 😊

    Wow very... this will be super useful for creating short ads videos for promotions on Twitter posts, playstore etc.
    🔥🔥🔥

    1. 1

      yes! this was the main idea. to help people create a lot of content faster and share much more content daily :)

      thank you so much! 🫶

    very useful tool! will use it to create demo vids for my saas projects

      thank you for your support! i hope it will be live soon and i will be happy to hear your feedback 😊

    Checked out the site and the video and I love the idea and the execution 🦋🦄

    I think the light-hearted green theme will likely target “creator” types, which could be perfect if that’s your intended audience.

    I noticed another comment about the video recommending a text to voice generator, but I think your voice / recording sounds great!

    I did find myself a little confused in the middle of the video, but it was more about the content than the presentation I think.

    Also, if you don’t mind me asking what is the tech stack for this? I’m curious how you built the landing page and the product itself?

    Best of luck!!!

      thank you so much! you're very kind and supportive 🫶

      i always use https://page.mmntm.build/ to create a landing page for my new ideas because it's very simple to use without even no-code skills and i can see the website analytics right here (btw, i'm a part of Momentum Page team 😅)
      tech stack - i'm not a tech founder, so i have a few guys behind that help me with implementation. we use AI to generate the titles for video based on selected pieces of text and also use AI to get the transcription.

      let me know if you have any other questions, i'll be happy to reply 😊

    Wishing you the best as you bring it to life. Looking forward to trying it!

    Hi, I love your idea and think it could be valuable for creators.

    A little feedback - I found the voice over in the demo a little hard to follow.

    All the best for building it out :)

    1. 1

      hey, thank you for your support and feedback! 😊
      agree. i was too nervous while recording this demo (my first product demo) so maybe it's a reason why it's not ideal. i will try more and more and i hope it will be better every time!

      1. 2

        That's the spirit . There are a couple of decent text to voice generators that are worth checking out. Good luck!

    How many videos I can do with that pre-order?

    1. 1

      hey 👋 thank you for this question!

      with a free plan you can do an unlimited number of videos, but when you upload an original video - it should be no longer than 2 hours in total.
      with a pre-order, 20 hours of video will be available, but also unlimited videos.
      and the unlimited plan is coming soon.

      also, 8 promo-codes left . use “DOIT” ☺️

    Looks really great. Will give it a try one it‘s live. The green landing page was a bit unexpected, though. Not sure if I like it with the butterflies and stuff, but i got the idea of the product and was instantly convinced.

    1. 2

      thank you so much for your comment Khez 🫶 can't wait to make it live!

      yes, green is not very popular color for websites, agree! and i want to share the story behind:
      ClipWing - clip (short piece of video) + wing (short clips will spread all over the internet as magically fast as if they have wings), that's why i made a butterfly as a mascot. and green color - it is about nature 😊

    This looks very good, amazing first designs and idea -> keep working on it!

      thank you so much for your support! 🥹
