Every keyword you miss
is a sale you lose.

Buyers don't browse — they search. If your keywords don't match what they type, your clip is invisible no matter how good the footage is. ClipEngine AI writes buyer-focused metadata that gets your clips found: titles optimized for click-through, descriptions that sell, and up to 50 keywords ranked by actual search volume — not guesswork, not generic tags, not what an image tagger thinks it sees. All inside a professional, high-density workspace designed for contributors who process hundreds of clips.

✦ The Metadata Challenge

Great footage deserves
metadata that sells.

Every clip needs a title, description, up to 50 keywords, categories, and a commercial/editorial classification — all formatted to spec. At scale, that's hours of admin every week that could be spent shooting, editing, and uploading more clips. Here's where your time and revenue are going.

01

15–20 minutes per clip

Manual metadata for a single clip takes 15–20 minutes done properly. At 100 clips a month, that's 25+ hours — time you could spend shooting, editing, or uploading more revenue-generating content.

ClipEngine does it in under a minute — get those hours back
02
🎯

Wrong keywords = invisible clips

Buyers search with specific terms. If your keywords don't match what they actually type, your clip never appears in results — no matter how good the footage is. Every missed keyword is a missed sale.

AI builds 50 buyer-intent keywords sorted by real search volume
03
🚫

Rejections cost more than time

Letterboxing, watermarks, excessive noise, poor stabilisation — technical issues that fail review. Each rejection costs you time resubmitting and can damage your contributor account standing.

34-point audit catches every issue before you submit
04
📋

One wrong field = rejected submission

Character limits, category taxonomies, keyword counts — each platform has rigid rules. One miscounted field means a rejected submission. Multiply that across hundreds of clips and multiple platforms.

Every field pre-formatted to exact platform specifications
05
📈

Seasonal demand waits for no one

Christmas content peaks in October. Summer travel peaks in April. Trending topics move in days. The right keywords at the right time can 10x a clip's sales — miss the window and you leave real money behind.

Live trending and seasonal intelligence shows what buyers want now
06
⚖️

Misclassification flags your account

A clip with visible logos or recognisable faces must be editorial. Getting it wrong isn't one rejection — recurring misclassifications flag your entire contributor account for review.

Auto-detects commercial vs. editorial on every generation
✦ VIDEO-FIRST DESIGN

No video upload.
No waiting.

Other tools expect the full video file. ClipEngine AI works entirely from screenshots — 1 to 4 still frames. No encoding, no bandwidth throttling, no 10-minute uploads. Your footage stays on your machine.

Drop 1–4 screenshots from any frame of your clip
Multi-frame analysis understands motion, sequence, and setting
Your footage never leaves your machine — only screenshots are processed

✦ BUYER-FOCUSED OUTPUT

Metadata that outperforms
what you'd write yourself.

ClipEngine AI doesn't just tag what it sees — it writes the titles buyers click, the descriptions that convert, and the keywords that match real search behaviour. Every field is calibrated to the exact specifications of professional stock footage marketplaces.

Titles written for click-through, fitted to platform character limits
Descriptions that sell — concise, accurate, optimized for search
40–50 buyer-intent keywords sorted by real search volume

Keywords that buyers are
actually searching for.

ClipEngine AI doesn't guess at keywords.

The right keywords don't just describe your footage — they put it in front of buyers who are ready to license. Add any keyword to your metadata with a single click.

Trending keywords — what buyers are actively searching this week
Seasonal demand — what's peaking right now in your clip's category
High-volume terms — the search phrases with the most buyer traffic
AI suggestions — curated additions specific to your clip's subject

What contributors are saying.

★★★★★

"I went from 20 minutes per clip to under a minute — but the real difference is the keywords. My clips are getting found more. Downloads are up because the metadata actually matches what buyers search for."

"The technical audit caught letterboxing on three clips before I submitted. That's three rejections avoided and my account standing protected. The titles and descriptions are better than what I was writing too."

? Common Questions

Common questions.

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Do I need to upload the full video file?

No. ClipEngine AI works entirely from screenshots. Upload 1–4 still frames — no video file, no large uploads, no waiting. Your footage stays private on your machine.

Will ClipEngine keywords actually perform better than my own?

Yes. ClipEngine AI writes buyer-intent keywords based on what buyers actually search for — not just what the AI sees in the image. Keywords are sorted by search volume, checked for frequency limits, and paired with live trending and seasonal data. The result is metadata that gets your clips found by more buyers.

What counts as one generation?

Each time you press Generate counts as one generation. Reviewing output, editing keywords, or copying fields does not count — only the Generate action itself.

What is the 34-point technical audit?

A full visual quality inspection of your screenshots — automatic, in the same call, no extra cost. 5 blockers, 11 quality checks, 17 minor checks, 1 AI content flag. It catches the issues that cause rejections before you submit.

Is my footage stored anywhere?

Screenshots are stored in a private, secure bucket tied to your account only. Never shared, never used for training, never visible to other users.

Which platforms does ClipEngine AI support?

ClipEngine AI is currently optimised for BlackBox Global, with full support for its field formats, character limits, and category taxonomy. Support for Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Pond5, and other stock footage marketplaces is on the roadmap.

Can YouTubers or social media creators use this?

ClipEngine AI is purpose-built for stock footage contributors, but the buyer-intent keywording approach works for anyone who needs optimized video metadata — including YouTube creators looking for better search visibility and social media producers who want their content discovered.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. No contracts, no lock-in. Cancel from your account settings anytime. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period.
