What CrestClip is built around
- Real audience data. Clips start from where viewers rewind and rewatch, not only from what an AI guesses is interesting.
- A score for every clip. Each clip is ranked on hook, payoff, emotion and shareability, with the reasons shown, so you post the winners first.
- Explore. Search YouTube and Twitch for long videos worth clipping and preview their replay peaks before you spend credits.
- Autopilot. Pick channels or a topic; CrestClip finds new videos, clips them and posts to YouTube and Instagram on your schedule.
