Director Mode gives you granular control over every aspect of your edit. Instead of one-click processing, you choose exactly which AI tools to apply and how to configure them. [VIDEO COMING SOON]

When to use Director Mode

Use Director Mode when you want to:
  • Apply only specific AI tools (e.g., captions but not filler removal)
  • Fine-tune how each tool behaves
  • Edit longer recordings where you need precise control
  • Create multiple clips from a single recording
For quick edits, Clippo Magic is faster.

How to use Director Mode

2

3

Choose your tools

In the Director panel, you’ll see toggles for each AI tool:
  • Filler Removal — remove “um,” “uh,” and pauses
  • Sparkle Audio — enhance audio quality
  • Captions — generate and style captions
  • Auto-Frame — reframe for different aspect ratios
  • Auto-Color — adjust color grading
Turn on only the tools you want. Each tool has a settings icon (gear) for detailed configuration.[SCREENSHOT COMING SOON]
4

Configure each tool

Click the gear icon next to any enabled tool to adjust its settings. For example:
  • Filler Removal: Set sensitivity (low, medium, high) and choose whether to remove silences
  • Captions: Choose font, size, color, position, and animation style
  • Auto-Frame: Select target aspect ratio and framing priority (face, center, or custom)

Director Mode credit costs

Each tool costs credits independently when used in Director Mode:
ToolCost
Filler Removal1 credit/min
Sparkle Audio1 credit/min
Captions1 credit/min
Auto-FrameIncluded free
Auto-ColorIncluded free
Running all tools separately in Director Mode costs the same as Clippo Magic (2 credits/min). Use Director Mode when you want control, not to save credits.

Tips

  • Start with Clippo Magic, then switch. You can run Magic first, then enter Director Mode to fine-tune specific parts.
  • Use the timeline to apply different settings to different segments of your video.
  • Save your tool presets — if you find settings you like, save them as a preset for future projects.
