Side by side
Each tool's row comes from its own pricing and product pages, read on 30 Oct 2026. Prices are in US dollars a month for the lowest paid plan, and change often, so open the pricing link before you pay.
Paid campaigns means the tool shows campaigns that pay per view. An editor can make a clip for one, it cannot find one.

Pick by the job
Find paid work
ClippingAlpha and findclout
Only two of these know which brands pay per view right now. findclout shows its own network's briefs once it accepts you. ClippingAlpha reads the public campaigns of the clipping platforms, ranks them and plans clips from their footage.
Long video to shorts
OpusClip, Vizard and Klap
Give them an hour of video and they return a batch of vertical clips with captions, and OpusClip and Klap score each clip's chances. They pick moments for reach in general, not for one brand's rules.
Captions and polish
Submagic and CapCut
Word by word captions, emoji, zooms and sound effects on a clip you already cut. CapCut's caption generator is free and posts to TikTok directly.
Edit by transcript
Descript
Delete a word in the transcript and it is gone from the video. Useful for podcasts and interviews where the cut is about what was said.
Where editors stop
An editor sees a video. It does not see the brief behind it: the tags the brand requires, the moments it rules out, the length it pays for or whether it accepts clips from AI tools at all. 20 of 886 live briefs we read rule out AI clip tools or repurposing tools by name (2%), and 243 rule out low effort reuploads. The AI content rules page lists what each clipping platform says.
So the order that works is campaign first, editor second. Find a campaign and read its rules, cut from the footage it gives you, then use any editor above for captions and polish. ClippingAlpha's server cuts start from the campaign's own footage, 10 clips a day, and the hooks and captions guide writes the text around the brief's required tags.
ClippingAlpha reads Content Rewards, Clipster, Promote.fun, Clipstake and Vyro.
