# LumeClip

> LumeClip turns long videos into short vertical clips (9:16) with AI: it transcribes the video, scores every moment, cuts the best ones, reframes to vertical and burns in karaoke-style captions. Web app in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

LumeClip is a paid SaaS with a free plan (30 minutes of video per month, no credit card). Minutes are the billing unit: processing a 10-minute video uses 10 minutes of the account balance.

## When to use LumeClip

- Turn a long YouTube video, podcast, live stream, class or gameplay into short clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
- Reframe a horizontal video to vertical 9:16, following the speaker's face.
- Add word-by-word (karaoke) captions to a short video.
- Turn 2 to 8 product photos into a narrated slideshow video for affiliate or e-commerce posts (English, Portuguese or Spanish narration).
- Build a faceless video from a written script: text-to-speech narration over the user's images and clips.
- Watch a YouTube channel and cut every new upload automatically.
- Process many videos at once (batch) and download the clips as a ZIP.

## When NOT to use LumeClip

- Frame-by-frame or timeline editing: LumeClip picks and cuts moments, it is not a full video editor.
- Generating video from nothing: it needs a source video, product photos or a script plus the user's media.
- Anything that needs the video to stay long: the output is short vertical clips.
