Question 1

What is Topic-Based Editing?

Accepted Answer

Topic-Based Editing is a new approach to video editing pioneered by NexClip AI. Instead of manually scrubbing through timelines, AI analyzes your video content, extracts distinct topics, and maps every sentence to relevant topics. You simply select the topics you want to keep, set a target duration, and the AI generates an optimized clip automatically. This patent-pending technology is especially powerful for long-form content like lectures, podcasts, webinars, and interviews.

Question 2

How is Topic-Based Editing different from AI clip generators?

Accepted Answer

Traditional AI clip generators decide what's interesting for you — they pick viral moments or engagement peaks. Topic-Based Editing puts you in control: AI extracts all topics from your video, and you decide which topics matter. This means you get clips that reflect your editorial intent, not an algorithm's guess at what might go viral.

Question 3

What video formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

NexClip AI supports major video formats on macOS, including MP4, MOV, and M4V. Export in MP4 or MOV with fast hardware encoding via VideoToolbox.

Question 4

What are credits?

Accepted Answer

1 credit equals 1 minute of video processing (transcription + topic extraction + mapping). For example, a 60-minute video uses 60 credits. AI intro/outro image generation costs 10 credits per set.

Question 5

Is my video data secure?

Accepted Answer

NexClip AI is a native macOS app. Video files are processed locally on your Mac. Only audio data for transcription is encrypted and sent to our API, then immediately deleted after processing.

Question 6

Who is Topic-Based Editing for?

Accepted Answer

Topic-Based Editing is ideal for anyone working with long-form video: podcasters, educators, course creators, YouTubers, conference organizers, and corporate training teams. If your source video is 30+ minutes and contains multiple topics, NexClip AI can save you hours of manual editing.

Question 7

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel paid plans anytime from within the app. After cancellation, you can continue using the service until the end of the billing period.
