What is an AI video swap?

An AI video swap recreates a short clip using your photo as a visual reference, aiming to keep its movement, framing and timing. CloneCut is currently a preview; generation is not open.

How much will a video cost?

Standard uses 4 credits per clip second; HD uses 8. A 5-second HD video uses 40 credits. Proposed packs start at $9.90 for 100 credits. Payments are closed.

Can I clone a video for free?

No free generations are planned. Selecting files and checking the estimated cost in this preview is free.

How long does it take?

Allow roughly 1–3 minutes as a starting estimate, but some jobs may take 5 minutes or longer. Queue delays and difficult clips can take longer; timing has not been measured on this preview.

Do I get credits back if it fails?

Reserved credits are released automatically on a confirmed failure. An unknown provider result stays under recovery to avoid a duplicate charge or a second generation.

How private are my photos and videos?

This preview prepares files on your device and does not upload them. When enabled, inputs are private and expire after 24 hours; outputs expire after 7 days. Download anything you want to keep.

Can I use any viral video or celebrity photo?

No. You must have rights to the clip and consent from anyone whose likeness you use. Minors are prohibited. Public figures and celebrities require consent. A checkbox does not prove permission.

Why might a video fail?

Unsupported files, an unclear face, several people, unsafe material or a supplier rejection can prevent creation. Use a clear, short clip and one well-lit photo.

Which video formats and lengths are supported?

Choose MP4, MOV or WebM, 4–10 seconds and up to 50 MB. Supported browsers prepare a compatible MP4 locally. If your browser cannot prepare it, export an MP4 at 24–60 fps with 480p–720p sized frames and try again.

Can I use my video commercially?

Only if you have all necessary rights and permissions for the clip, likeness, music and other material. AI generation does not grant rights or guarantee an identical result.

Can I swap a product or background too?

You can select Person, Product, Object or Background and add a short note. The selected category guides what changes; results need review before use.

Privacy policy

Draft policy — for Henry’s review. This preview does not accept payments or generate videos.

Google provides optional sign-in. Selected media stays on this device while server uploads, generation and payments are closed. On clonecut.tools, Google Analytics starts only after you accept optional analytics cookies; declining leaves the tool available. The workers.dev preview does not collect analytics.

Google sign-in identifies your account. When generation is enabled, your uploaded video and photo will be stored privately and shared through expiring links with the generation and input-safety services needed to fulfil your request. Inputs expire after 24 hours and outputs after 7 days; cleanup runs periodically. Account, task and financial records may be retained for service, accounting and dispute obligations.

We do not claim that face references are anonymous. Upload only media you have permission to use. Operator identity, contact details, lawful bases, rights requests, processors, transfer terms and final retention schedule must be reviewed before launch.
