Questions people ask first
What does Renderster do?
Renderster turns a long video into short, captioned vertical clips for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts. Paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X or Facebook link, or upload a file: it finds the strongest moments, cuts them to 9:16, burns the captions and writes a title and hashtags for each clip. It also edits talking-head videos on its own, dubs videos into 16 languages, makes transcripts and renders videos from JSON through an API.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Sign in with Google and you get 60 credits, no card needed: one clips job (up to 3 clips), one dub try and one auto edit try (the first 60 seconds, with a watermark), plus the rendering API and the visual editor. Paid plans start at $12 a month (Creator, 200 credits), and the first paid subscription starts with a 7-day free trial.
How much does it cost to clip a video?
A clips job costs 7 credits and returns up to 12 clips, whether the video is 5 minutes or 3 hours long. On the Starter plan ($29 a month for 600 credits) that is about $0.34 per video. One credit is one minute of rendered video, and every job shows its price before it starts.
How long does it take to get the clips?
A few minutes for most videos: the median is about 3 minutes from the link to the clips. A long podcast takes longer than a 10-minute video. You can close the page while it works; the clips stay in your account.
Can I use Renderster inside ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. Add the Renderster app in ChatGPT or connect it in Claude, then ask in plain words, such as "cut this video into 5 Shorts". It uses the same account and the same credits as the website.
Which languages does it support?
Captions, titles and hashtags come out in the language spoken in the video. Dubbing translates what is said and voices it in one of 16 languages, with subtitles in the new language.
What happens if a job fails?
Its credits go back to your balance automatically, with no ticket needed. Monthly credits also roll over while your plan is active, up to three times your monthly allowance, and credit packs never expire.
Is there an API for developers?
Yes: plain HTTPS and JSON with an API key, webhooks when the files are ready, and examples in cURL, JavaScript and Python. It also works from n8n and Make. The full reference is at renderster.com/docs.
