Installation & User Guide

How Afflix Clip Studio works

Afflix Clip Studio turns the product clips you already record into short vertical videos ready for Shopee Video, TikTok Shop, Lazada, and Reels. Drop in your clips, and AI looks at the footage, suggests three video ideas, writes the hook, and picks the best parts. Add captions and a voiceover in a click, then export. No editing skills needed. It's made for affiliate creators and small sellers who want to post more videos without spending hours cutting them.

Make your first video

  1. 1. Click New Project. Type the product name, and add a line or two about its features if you like.

  2. 2. Click Import Videos… and choose your clips. MOV and MP4 from your phone both work, portrait or landscape. You can add several clips; they are joined into one video.

  3. 3. Click Create Project. Your clips appear on the timeline and you can play them right away.

  4. 4. In the Video tab, click Analyze Video. AI looks at a few still frames and suggests three video ideas, each with its own hook and script.

  5. 5. Click Select on the idea you like, pick a length (15, 30, 45, or 59 seconds), and click Create Video. The app cuts your clips for you.

  6. 6. Press Space to watch it. Happy? Click Export.

Let AI do the work

With one OpenAI API key (OpenAI is the company behind ChatGPT), the app can:

  • Look at your footage and tell good shots from shaky or idle ones.
  • Suggest three video ideas: problem and solution, product test, and honest review.
  • Write the hook and script in Taglish, Filipino, or English.
  • Choose the cuts to fit the length you picked.
  • Turn speech into captions and read your script aloud as a voiceover.

AI only works with your real footage and the product details you type. It never invents shots or product claims. See the AI Setup tab to connect your key.

Fix a cut yourself
  1. Click a cut on the Timeline to select it.
  2. Drag Start and End to trim it.
  3. Use the arrow buttons to move it earlier or later, or the trash button to remove it.
  4. For landscape clips, choose a Framing: Fit with background, Fit, or Fill (crop).

Good to know: you can skip AI completely. Without an API key, Create Video spreads the cuts evenly across your clips, and you adjust from there.

Export for Shopee, TikTok, Lazada, or Reels
  1. Click Export (or press ⌘E).
  2. Choose the Platform. Each one keeps your text clear of that app's own buttons and captions.
  3. Click Export. When it finishes, click Reveal in Finder or Play Video.

You get a vertical MP4 (1080 × 1920) that you upload yourself. The app never posts for you, and exporting happens entirely on your Mac.

Tip: platform length limits change. Check the current limit in the app you post to.

Install Afflix Clip Studio on your Mac

Afflix Clip Studio is signed and notarized by Apple, so it installs like any app you download from the web. You need macOS 15 Sequoia or later.

  1. 1. Click Download for Mac at the top of this page. AfflixClipStudio.dmg saves to your Downloads folder.

  2. 2. Open AfflixClipStudio.dmg. In the window that appears, drag Afflix Clip Studio onto the Applications folder.

  3. 3. Open Afflix Clip Studio from your Applications folder, not from inside the DMG window.

  4. 4. macOS asks if you are sure you want to open an app downloaded from the internet. Click Open. This only happens the first time.

  5. 5. On the welcome screen, click Start Free Trial. You get 7 days with everything unlocked.

After installing, you can eject the disk (right-click it in Finder → Eject) and delete AfflixClipStudio.dmg from Downloads.

Update to a new version
  1. Download the latest AfflixClipStudio.dmg from this page.
  2. Quit Afflix Clip Studio (⌘Q).
  3. Open the DMG, drag the app onto Applications, and click Replace.
  4. Open it again. Your projects, settings, API key, and license stay exactly as they were.

Uninstall Afflix Clip Studio
  1. Quit Afflix Clip Studio.
  2. Drag Afflix Clip Studio from your Applications folder to the Trash.

Good to know: your projects stay in your Library folder and your recordings and exported videos are never deleted when you uninstall.

Connect your OpenAI key

One OpenAI API key turns on every AI feature: video ideas, hooks and scripts, automatic cuts, captions from speech, and AI voiceover.

  1. 1. Go to platform.openai.com/api-keys and sign in.

  2. 2. Add a payment method under Billing and load a small amount of credit.

  3. 3. Click Create new secret key and copy it. It starts with sk-.

  4. 4. In Afflix Clip Studio, open Settings → AI Providers, choose OpenAI, and paste the key.

  5. 5. Click Test Connection. When you see Connected successfully, you are ready.

Important: an API key is not the same as a ChatGPT subscription. ChatGPT Plus does not include API usage. OpenAI bills API usage separately, by how much you use.

What does AI cost?

The Afflix Clip Studio license does not include AI credits. You pay OpenAI directly for what you use, and short product videos use very little: a handful of small still frames and some text per video.

  • Before sending frames or audio, the app asks first and shows an estimate.
  • A project's AI editing plan is saved, so making the same idea again costs nothing.
  • Your exact spend is always on your OpenAI usage page.

Use Claude instead

Prefer Claude? In Settings → AI Providers, choose Anthropic Claude and paste a key from console.anthropic.com.

Claude can analyze footage, suggest ideas, write scripts, and choose cuts. It does not do speech, so captions from speech and AI voiceover still need an OpenAI key. The free Mac voice works with either.

What works without AI or internet
  • Import, preview, trim, reorder, and join clips
  • Create Video with evenly spaced cuts
  • Type your own captions and on-screen text
  • Voiceover with your Mac's built-in voices
  • Export the finished MP4

AI features need internet. Everything else runs on your Mac.

Is my key and footage safe?

Your API key is stored in your Mac's Keychain and is sent only to the provider it belongs to.

Your video files never leave your Mac. AI analysis sends only a few still frames, the product details you typed, and (for captions) the audio. The app tells you what will be sent and waits for your OK.

Afflix Clip Studio never asks for your ChatGPT password.

Add a voiceover

No talking in your clip? Let the app speak for you.

  1. Open the Voiceover tab.
  2. Type what you want said in Script, or click Use Concept Script to use the one AI wrote.
  3. Pick a Source: an OpenAI voice (more natural, needs your key) or the Mac system voice (free, works offline).
  4. Pick the Language and a Voice, then click Create Voiceover.
  5. Click Play to hear it.

Good to know: if the voiceover is longer than your video, the app warns you. Shorten the script, or click Lengthen Video to Fit.

Note: these are AI or computer voices. Let your viewers know the narration is not a human voice. Filipino and Taglish pronunciation varies by voice, so listen before you post.

Captions from your voiceover

When you create a voiceover, your script becomes captions automatically, one per sentence. Edit the words or timing in the Captions tab.

Captions from speech in your clip
  1. Open the Captions tab and click Generate Captions.
  2. Confirm sending the audio to OpenAI.
  3. Review the captions. Speech recognition is good but not perfect, especially for Taglish.

If the clip has no speech, nothing is made up. Add your own text or a voiceover instead.

Add a hook or text on screen
  1. In the Captions tab, click Add Text.
  2. Type your text, for example "Worth it ba?"
  3. Set when it shows with From and To, and choose top, middle, or bottom.

Change the look
  • Template (Video tab): Clean Review, Budol Finds, or Lifestyle.
  • Style: Clean, Bold, or Minimal captions.
  • Size, Color, and Position.
  • Safe area for: keeps text away from the buttons of the platform you post to.

What you see in the preview is what gets exported.

Keep or mute the original sound

In the Voiceover tab, under Audio, choose:

  • Keep original audio
  • Mute original audio
  • AI voiceover only
  • Voiceover over original audio — the original plays quietly underneath

My API key isn't accepted
  • Copy the whole key again. OpenAI keys start with sk-.
  • Make sure you added a payment method and credit under Billing on the OpenAI site.
  • A ChatGPT Plus subscription is not an API key. You need a key from platform.openai.com.
  • Check that you are online.

It says "insufficient credits"

Your OpenAI account has run out of API credit. Add credit on the OpenAI billing page, then try again. You can keep editing by hand in the meantime.

A video won't import

The app opens MOV and MP4 files that your Mac can play. If a file is refused, open it in QuickTime Player and choose File → Export As to save a fresh copy, then import that.

A clip says "File not found"

The recording was moved or deleted after you imported it. Put it back, or click Relink… next to the clip and choose where it is now.

Tip: to avoid this, turn on Settings → General → Copy imported videos into the project.

Captions cover the product or the app's buttons

In the Captions tab, change Position or Size, and set Safe area for to the platform you are posting to.
