Clip score tools
Score any short clip before you post it: the hook, the emotional pull, whether it stands alone. You can score 3 clips a day free, no account needed. The full clipping engine (detection, captions, scheduling) comes with every ClipAI plan, from $12/month.
Which checker should I use?
All five run the same scorer: a 0-100 score from five graded dimensions (hook, emotion, clarity, value, quotability) plus a one-line reason. Pick the page for your source. Each one explains what that kind of clip needs, with examples. On TikTok or YouTube, paste the link; for anything else, upload a clip up to 60 seconds.

How the score works
Hook25% OF SCORE
Whether the first spoken line stops the scroll. Openings that start mid-tension with a specific number, a bold or contrarian claim, or an open question score high; greetings and setup score low.
Emotion20% OF SCORE
Whether a viewer feels something: a laugh, a raw confession, awe, or a frustration named exactly. Dry procedural talk scores low.
Clarity20% OF SCORE
Whether the moment makes complete sense with zero context. References like "like I said" or an unnamed "he" pull it down.
Value15% OF SCORE
How much usable insight per second: concrete, non-obvious takeaways score high, one point stretched with filler scores low.
Quotability20% OF SCORE
Whether one line survives out of context as a caption or on-screen text - the thing a repost travels on.
- Upload a clip up to 60 seconds and 30 MB, or paste a TikTok or YouTube link and the opening minute is scored.
- Each dimension is scored from 0 to 1 against written anchors, then combined in code with the weights above into one 0-100 score.
- The opening line is also classified as one of 12 hook types (specific number, contrarian take, mistake confession and so on).
- Clips with no speech are scored on visuals instead: action, faces, scene variety and on-screen text.
- Score 3 clips a day free, no account needed. Making clips from full videos is part of every ClipAI plan (from $12/month).
- With a plan, you can also ask for 3 stronger opening lines after a score.
