KERF or an AI clipping tool?
AI clipping tools such as Opus Clip are fast and cheap. KERF takes longer and costs more, on purpose: people watch your episode and stand behind the result. Here is how to choose.
The difference, point by point
Format
Mostly vertical Shorts, reframed automatically
Horizontal clips of 2 to 5 minutes, in the original frame
Choosing moments
A virality score computed by an algorithm
A person watches the episode at least twice and reads every comment to find the moments that stayed with your audience
Titles
Generated automatically, for you to proofread
Written by the team and checked against what is actually said
Thumbnails
Yours to make
Built with your real photos and your brand
Publishing
Yours to do
Scheduled as private, with your approval
Contact
A dashboard
A person who knows your channel
When an AI tool is enough
If you mainly want a high volume of vertical clips, have time to review each one, and are happy to handle titles, thumbnails and publishing yourself, an AI tool can do the job at a low price.
When KERF is the better fit
If your image matters, if you want horizontal clips that YouTube treats as long videos, and if you would rather approve than produce, KERF takes the whole chain: selection, titles, thumbnails, editing and scheduling, with your approval at each step.
