If a purchase can’t be started, the message now appears in the language of the page. That applies to the Trip Pass, extra exports, upgrades and purchases in Studio. On English pages it used to come up in German.
With a plan or an active pass, the Trip Pass card on the pricing page now says it is only available without either, and its button no longer looks clickable.
A Trip Pass now runs for 14 days from purchase instead of seven, at the same 12.99 euros. That leaves room between buying it and editing the trip. Passes bought before the change keep their end date.
While a pass runs, none of your clips or finished reels are removed. The usual retention period only starts when the pass ends.
In the first cut, each shot’s key moment can be nudged earlier or later. In reels cut to the beat, the edit only took that as a preference and could still start the shot elsewhere. It is now binding: the shot starts inside the window you set, and the beat only decides how long it runs.
If preparing an upload fails because of a network hiccup or an unexpected server response, it now tries once more by itself. If that fails too, the message says what to do instead of showing a raw error.
Files with 0 bytes, usually cloud files that aren’t on the device yet, are set aside when you select them, with a note. The rest of the selection uploads as usual.
When several clips upload at once, the automatic first cut now waits until the last one has arrived. Before, it could start while a large clip was still on its way and leave that clip out.
Where your plan doesn’t include the preview, the export step used to show a preview button that only explained the lock after a click. It now shows a blurred card right away, with a frame from the first shot of your own cut and how many shots it has.
Next to it are the two ways to unlock it: a Trip Pass, bought right there in the project, or a plan.
The template you pick is now saved the moment you pick it. Otherwise a first cut that started on its own could use the default template instead of yours.
The email now waits a few minutes after the first cut is ready and only goes out if you haven’t opened the project since. It says the cut is ready to export, and its button leads straight to the export step.
About 90 seconds after your clips are in, the first cut starts without a click. You can keep the page open or come back later, and starting it yourself still works at any time.
Templates that cut to the beat need music. If you haven’t picked any and your plan allows music, a matching track from the catalogue is set in advance. It is marked as a catalogue track and can be swapped at any time.
If you’re not in the project when the first cut is ready, an email lets you know.
Each file now shows its percentage while it uploads, and the counter above the list adds the overall progress and roughly how long the rest will take. Large 4K clips on a slow connection no longer sit at zero for minutes with no sign of movement.
If the transfer to storage breaks off, the message now says what to check (connection, ad blocker) and how to try again, instead of a bare browser error.
Before you press export, a line under the buttons now says what comes out: the pixel size for your format, whether the reel carries a watermark, and how many exports are left this month, purchased extras included. On the free first render it says so instead of a number.
The finished result now shows until when the download is available at least, and that any change to the project extends that by seven days.
A new project now has three steps: clips, preview, export. Everything else is preset. The template starts as Viral Reel and can be changed in one tap; the format, look, cut style, music and briefing sit behind a single settings line until you want them.
Preview appears once the first clip is in, export once a preview exists. Until then neither card sits under an empty project with greyed-out buttons. Music only joins the steps when the chosen template needs it.
The “coming soon” teasers in the template picker are gone.
If an upload failed after the file had already arrived, retry used to send the whole file again. It now only repeats the last step. While a batch runs, a counter above the list shows how many files are through.
An error while creating a project now shows in the dialog with a retry button instead of leaving it silently open.
On the post-render card, “not yet” is saved the moment you tap it. The reasons are an optional follow-up.
A purchased extra render now reserves its credit the moment the render starts, so one credit is one render, not several running in parallel. Pressing export twice on the same project no longer starts two renders.
A Trip Pass that was never activated no longer keeps an account on Pro after its subscription ends.
Project cards show a frame from the first clip instead of a camera icon. Existing projects pick theirs up with their next preview or render.
The separate usage page is folded into the plan page, where the numbers already sat next to the upgrade options. From 80 percent of the monthly renders, a warning line appears above the limits with the reset date.
The beta notice is a calm static line, keyboard hints say Ctrl on Windows and Linux, and the small print has more contrast.
Exported audio could occasionally peak into distortion on louder projects. The mixing chain was adjusted so levels stay in range.
On top of that, the music now dips at a few real sound moments (voice, ambient sound) instead of sitting at the same level underneath the whole time.
On longer reels, the opening title and closing text used to stay on screen far too long. Both are now capped to a natural length regardless of video duration.
The color look picker in the wizard now reliably applies to your export, including a proper “Automatic” default.
The render step now has a player. It plays the planned cut with your music before an export is spent. Not a sketch of it: the same plan the render would use, at preview resolution.
“Another variant” asks for a fresh proposal. Once a preview looks right, the button reads “Render exactly this” and the export follows that plan one to one, as long as your settings haven’t changed in the meantime.
Available from Starter, and for the one free AI render on Free. Previews don’t count against your monthly exports, but they are limited per project and per day.
Every cut now switches to a different clip. Before, a reel could cut three times inside the same clip and look like a stutter.
How many cuts a reel gets follows how much distinct material you uploaded, and the longest shot is sized to what your clips can actually cover. Fewer freeze-frames after the footage runs out.
Beat shots use the subject for framing: crop and slow zoom aim at what’s in the picture, not the centre. Fades became real crossfades instead of a dip to black, and each beat template keeps one colour look for the whole reel instead of jumping with the music’s energy.
Reels without a music trim no longer run a full minute by default. The default section is 30 seconds; a trim you set still wins.
The home page was rebuilt: a full-bleed scene in the hero, the three steps as stacked cards, and a capability index that lists what the beta does today, with a real screenshot per row. No roadmap on the front page.
The pricing page follows the same stage: Starter as the main card, marked “AI edit from here”, the other plans as a ledger next to it. The cards now lead with clips per project, since that is the number that decides whether a trip fits. Below, a comparison table in four groups.
clippra.de/en is the English home page, with a proper language pair to the German one. Browsers set to English land there directly. The four comparison pages, the guide and the solution page already had English addresses; the home page was the missing piece.
Studio subscribers now get the priority queue their plan promises for reel renders, and the larger caption size on paid reels. Both had only applied to Pro.
The analysis step is named plainly in the app. It says what happens, not which service does it.
A one-time purchase for people who don’t post every week: 12.99 euros unlock the Pro features of the reel pipeline for seven days. AI edit, beat sync, no watermark, up to 40 clips per project. No subscription, nothing to cancel.
It lives on the pricing page under the four plans, and the app offers it at two moments: after your free AI render, and when a project hits the clip limit. Studio is not included.
Finished videos are now removed on the same schedule as the footage they came from: seven days after a project goes quiet, 30 on Studio. Until now only the raw clips were cleaned up, while the exports stayed around indefinitely.
The render-finished email names the deadline, share links of removed reels show an expired page instead of an error, and the dashboard says so before it happens. Download your reel; the link is not storage.
Every paid render is now normalised to the same loudness as the free path (-14 LUFS, true peak -1.5 dB). Before, paid exports varied by several decibels from project to project and some clipped. Cuts and beat timing are untouched; only the audio track is levelled.
Each render is also checked afterwards for length and audio, and the result is recorded with the job.
The music step now opens with a catalogue: six licensed tracks, one click, preview before you choose. Your own upload is still there below. Applying a track needs a paid plan or the free AI render, same as the upload.
When a project hits the clip limit of your plan, the app now says so in place and names the plan that would fit, instead of a toast that disappears. Templates that need music are locked with a reason on plans without music, instead of failing later.
Studio takes up to six clips per project now. Set their order, trim each one, pick the output format, and Studio joins them before the edit begins. The total stays under 15 minutes.
Dropping files into the upload zone no longer uploads each of them twice, and a second upload of the same video works again.
Sound effects on cuts and scene changes, with licences that allow it. Place single sounds wherever you want, from the chat or in the panel; the audio track shows where they will play.
Data charts animate with your real values, editable per row in the panel. The timeline gained a card track, so overlays and scenes are visible before the render. The punch-in now moves instead of just standing larger, and the vertical preview follows the speaker instead of sitting in the centre.
The chat can now build full-screen scenes: a paper-look card that takes over the frame for a moment, timed from the transcript. Ask for a scene and the plan proposes where it fits; the plan generator also suggests one on its own where a number only exists in speech.
A run of fixes from the first production round: 4K footage renders, spatial audio from an iPhone no longer aborts the render, a reload keeps the project, and silence removal stays off when you switch it off.
Free renders had been going out without music, silently: the background track never loaded. They now use a track from the catalogue, mixed to the same loudness as everything else. And “silent” is finally silent.
Shot lengths are measured instead of estimated. Slow zooms no longer freeze or overrun, small footage isn’t zoomed into, and the last shot isn’t slowed by a broken speed ramp. A reel that comes out much longer than planned is flagged instead of waved through.
The one free AI render on the Free plan no longer asks for a phone number. Stored phone hashes were deleted along with the requirement. What remains is one render per account and a daily cap.
Free can now reorder shots in the review step. A finished video appears immediately instead of after a reload, and the plan price shows in the upgrade panel before you click.
Free now allows 5 clips instead of 3, up to 500 MB per clip instead of 200, and 2.5 GB of storage. The old limit came from a time when phones produced smaller files. A 30-second 4K clip was turned away before you could see what Clippra makes of it.
The paid plans grew too: Starter 1 GB, Pro 2 GB, Studio 4 GB per clip.
The intro tour runs again for new accounts. It had been switched off by accident since early May.
Selecting more files than your plan allows now uploads as many as fit instead of none at all. Before, the attempt ended in an error message and an empty project.
The “Cinematic” template couldn’t be completed: it required music without showing a field for it. Fixed.
A finished edit proposal now stays put when you reload the page or switch tabs. Before it was recalculated, costing you time for no reason.
Plus several fixes to the notes under each shot: they say something about that specific shot again instead of repeating stock phrases.
During longer queues, the internal references to your footage could expire before the render started. The export then failed even though everything was there. Those references are now refreshed at the start.
The export counter in your dashboard also updates right after a finished video instead of at the next start.
