# VibeClip — open-source AI video editor you control by talking

URL: https://vibeclip.dev
License: AGPL-3.0 (open source, self-hostable)
What: Turn long landscape videos into publish-ready 9:16 vertical shorts by describing edits in plain language — cut, caption, reframe — then review the before/after and approve in one click.
Who it's for: creators, podcasters, streamers, educators repurposing long recordings into shorts for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts.
Features: talk-to-edit; smart reframe (speaker-tracked 16:9 to 9:16); word-synced auto-captions; silence and filler removal; A/B before-after approval (fully reversible); style presets; gameplay split-screen; browser-native, no install, no GPU.
Pricing: self-host free forever (bring your own LLM key, ~cents per short in tokens); managed hosted version free during early access.
Privacy: when self-hosted, footage and speech-to-text stay on your machine; only your chosen LLM provider is called. Keys encrypted at rest.
