Hipclip Reviews

So I bought it a year ago and found out that the text and audio do not correspond in the text editing, so I could never use the feature for why I got it for. I decided to give the team some time to fix the bugs that i reported. I came back almost a year after, noticed some additional features and...the same basic issue still exist till now. I tried to edit my video to the best I can with the text editor, added the subtitles and tried downloading...it gives me "houston we got a problem" every time after about 15 minutes transcoding on average. It's been a week or to since the first time I tried to download my video...no luck. The support chat estimates to answer in a few hours...it's been messages from me for days and no reply from them. The software seems done without ever hitting the ground running. If I could give minus 5 tacos, that would be more fair.

Hipclip has a lot of potential, and I love the idea of using AI to streamline video editing. It’s off to a great start with helpful features like filler word removal and transcription editing. However, the app struggles with basic, high-demand tasks like removing silences from a 1-hour podcast or meeting. When trying to remove pauses from longer videos, the platform becomes unresponsive, repeatedly prompting the "Wait" button in Chrome. This not only disrupts the workflow but makes it nearly impossible to complete edits efficiently.

For Hipclip to truly scale, the team needs to address these devops and performance issues. Moving heavy tasks like silence removal to server-side processing and offering a smoother UX (maybe with a loading screen) would go a long way. Really hoping the founders take these workflow issues seriously, as seamless editing is a standard need for content creators. Looking forward to the next update that can make Hipclip more reliable for professionals!

Hey Appsumo, we trust you, we follow what you point out as expertly vetted "Select" software and then we get this - product with 0 support, 0 updates, after the money-back period has passed. Won't you do something about it?

I initially found Hipclip to be great, but over time, it has become redundant and unusable. While uploading videos to Hipclip works fine, editing large videos presents significant issues. As many others have noted, you can edit the captions, but reviewing the video is impossible.

Even when working with pre-cut YouTube Shorts, you can add captions and other elements, but upon downloading, the result is a video with a black background, audio, and captions—completely missing the person in the video. This makes the software effectively useless for my needs.

I have attempted to contact their support team multiple times, including reaching out directly to Artem, but have received no response. Due to these persistent issues and lack of support, I have reverted to using Opus.

Was great for a short while. Then the videos are not uploading. I was told to upload to Youtube and download again which I did. I have still had no answer from support; waiting?
