UvoClips AI is "Bring Your Own Key" — you need an API key from at least one AI provider. Your key stays in your browser and is sent directly to the provider, never to our servers.

How It Works
  1. 1Get an API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google (see below).
  2. 2Click API Keys in the top-right of the app and paste your key.
  3. 3Upload a timestamped transcript (.srt or .vtt) from your podcast.
  4. 4Set your DaVinci Resolve project frame rate.
  5. 5Click Generate Clips with AI.
  6. 6Review and adjust clip titles and times if needed.
  7. 7Click Export to DaVinci to download manifest.json.
  8. 8In DaVinci Resolve, run the PodClip Python script and select your manifest.
