# How to Use Clippo Magic

> One click to remove filler words, enhance audio, add captions, and reframe your video.

Clippo Magic is the fastest way to go from a raw recording to a polished clip. With one click, it runs all of Clippo's AI tools on your video at once.

## What Clippo Magic does

When you click Clippo Magic, it automatically:

1. **Removes filler words** — cuts out "um," "uh," "you know," and awkward silences
2. **Enhances your audio** — cleans up background noise and balances volume levels using Sparkle Audio
3. **Generates captions** — creates accurate, timed captions styled to match your project
4. **Reframes your video** — auto-crops to keep you (or your subject) centered in any aspect ratio

All of this happens in one processing pass. You don't need to run each tool separately.

## Clippo Magic vs. Director Mode

|                    | Clippo Magic                | Director Mode               |
| ------------------ | --------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Best for**       | Quick edits, social content | Detailed control, long-form |
| **Filler removal** | Automatic                   | You choose what to cut      |
| **Captions**       | Auto-generated              | Full style customization    |
| **Audio**          | Auto-enhanced               | Manual audio controls       |
| **Speed**          | 1–3 minutes                 | As long as you need         |

Not sure which to use? Start with Clippo Magic. You can always switch to [Director Mode](/features/director-mode) for finer control.

## Tips

* **Clippo Magic works best on talking-head videos** — recordings where one person is speaking to the camera.
* **You can re-run Magic** after making manual edits if you want to start fresh.
* **Magic uses 2 credits per minute** of your original video length. Check your [credit balance](/getting-started/understanding-credits) before processing long recordings.
