Clypmint, the one we make

When you already have the recording and want a designed edit. Fewer clips, no free plan, and it edits rather than generating scenes with third-party models.

Clypmint is an AI video editor for footage you already shot. You upload a raw talking-head take and pick a creator's editing style. Clypmint returns a finished edit with captions, cuts, and explainer screens. Then you change it in chat, or on the timeline.

Choose Clypmint over Async if:

• You already have the recording and want a finished, designed edit.
• You want motion graphics measured from a real editor, not generated scenes.
• You want one style across every video you post.
