HotClip is a free and open-source AI-powered video editing and clipping tool available as a desktop client for Windows and macOS. It transforms hours of long-form content, such as live stream replays, podcasts, and online courses, into engaging vertical short videos. The tool leverages AI to automatically identify highlight clips and key soundbites, generate synchronized subtitles (with karaoke-style word highlighting), convert horizontal footage to 9:16 vertical format with intelligent face tracking, and remove filler words and pauses. Operating entirely locally on your machine, HotClip ensures no watermarks, no credit systems, no duration limits, and no material uploads, making it a powerful, privacy-respecting, and cost-effective alternative to cloud-based services.
