AutoClip is an AI platform that lets you create short clips from existing video footage. It is primarily used to create “highlight” or “preview” videos that can be shared on social media.

Tools like AutoClip can be used by content creators, marketing teams and entrepreneurs to share clips of podcasts or longer YouTube videos.

AutoClip in particular is a great tool for non-technical content creators. It’s easy to use and can save you hours by automating simple tasks, such as finding the most engaging parts of your videos and clipping them down into bite-size, shareable snippets.

While AutoClip is a useful tool for generating short, shareable video clips – it doesn’t really go beyond basic repurposing of longer content. In this article, we’ll compare AutoClip with our own video generation tool, Argil, to discover the best overall platform for content creators.

What is AutoClip AI? The Video Clipping Tool

AutoClip is an AI-powered video processing platform that allows users to clip, index and search through long-form videos.

Platform users can either upload a long-form video or add an external URL, and AutoClip’s AI will process the file and extract its content for search. You can also use AutoClip to transcribe videos and create highlights for social media.

Video clips can be edited and customized using the platform’s intuitive interface to help make them more engaging and personal.

While you can sign up to the platform for free, users will need to pay for watermark-free exports. Paid plans start at $29.99 per month for 10 video uploads per month, scaling up to $99.99 per month for 30 uploads.

For comparison, Argil’s paid plans start at $39 per month for 25 video minutes per month and access to full editing features and 3 personalized avatars.

AutoClip vs Argil: Which Tool is Best for Content Creators?

Content Originality

As mentioned above, AutoClip is primarily designed to clip larger videos down into short snippets. It cannot be used to create original videos, which is the platform's biggest limitation.

With Argil, you don’t need any pre-recorded footage. You can ideate, script and produce entire videos from scratch without even needing a video camera or any extra tools.

By uploading an article or pasting a URL into our text-to-video converter, you can create an engaging short video from a simple text prompt, complete with auto-B-roll, beautiful visual transitions and customizable captions.

Videos don’t need to be faceless either – sign up to Argil, and you can create your very own hyper-realistic avatar that perfectly mirrors your appearance, speech and mannerisms.

All you need to do is upload a two-minute video of you speaking, and your avatar can be used across all your videos to perform your video scripts. They can be walking, moving around or even working out, creating a dynamic, human-quality video without multiple retakes.

You can also use Argil’s platform to generate content that aligns with current platform trends and audience preferences. You can then A/B test different variations to monitor their performance.

Rather than relying on tools like AutoClip, which only lets you repurpose longer footage, why not give Argil a try? You could repurpose your entire content catalogue, from blog posts to social media captions and even Reddit threads.

When it comes to content originality, Argil is undoubtedly the more comprehensive tool. If all you want to do is create short, shareable clips from longer videos, then AutoClip will suit you just fine. However, if you want more flexibility, as well as the option to create unique, custom videos from scratch (and all in under ten minutes per video!) then Argil will be much better suited to your needs.

Customization

When it comes to creating unique, customized videos, AutoClip falls slightly short. This is because it’s only really designed to clip down longer videos and scan for content – it’s not able to generate videos from scratch.

AutoClip offers fairly basic trimming and editing features, whereas Argil allows editing at a granular scale, resulting in truly custom videos that are tailored to each specific platform. We’ll also help you optimize your videos with platform specific tags and keywords.

When it comes to marketing, personalized video content is a great way to engage and interact with social media followers or customers. Studies show that personalized videos are 35% more likely to retain viewers than non-personalized content, after all.

As well as adding B-roll, visual transitions and multilingual voiceovers, users can also generate captions in several supported languages. Videos can also be personalized for different audience segments or multiple channels.

You can also adjust and edit your avatar’s movement, gestures, appearance and speaking style. Overall, it’s easy to adapt videos to your brand style when using Argil, whereas AutoClip has very limited customization options.

Scalability

If you have plans to grow as a content creator, you need a video solution that’s going to scale with you and allow you to create videos at speed, without sacrificing quality.

While AutoClip can fulfill its purpose of clipping and indexing longer videos, it takes a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn’t work for modern content creators.

On the other hand, Argil is incredibly scalable because it automates the entire video generation workflow, unlike AutoClip which just handles the task of creating clips from longer videos. With Argil, you can auto-generate bespoke videos, fully optimized for platforms like TikTok, YouTube and Instagram – all in under 10 minutes.

We found that brands using Argil can scale their output 5 x faster than those who use generic video clipping tools.

Argil creators can also cut their production time by 80%, giving them more time to focus on creative strategy. By using Argil, you can drastically reduce your production costs, from spending thousands on filming a series of videos to just $39 per month.

Future-Proof Your Workflow with Argil: The Comprehensive AI Video Agent

While both AutoClip and Argil have their strengths, they are very different tools. AutoClip is a simple repurposing tool that allows users to clip, index and search through their long-form videos.

Argil is an end-to-end video generation platform that automates the entire process from scripting to publishing, helping you grow your platforms without burning out or blowing your budget.

If you want to grow your audience and scale your content creation business, you’ll need more than just a simple clipping tool – Argil’s comprehensive video AI agent is the answer.
