Talking head

Built for one person talking to a camera

Most editing tools are built for montage. This one is built for the recording you actually make: one person, one camera, too many takes.

It knows what a false start sounds like, which of your three tries at the same sentence to keep, and where the breath ends and the sentence begins.

Cutting pauses is free and needs no account.

How it works

This is what happens the moment you open a recording, before you decide anything.

Take 1 · false start Take 2 · stumble Take 3 · clean
Three tries at the same line, one keeps. Every removed take stays on a list and comes back with one click — nothing is applied behind your back.
9:16 output 16:9 source
The vertical crop follows the face. One framing per take, not per frame — a crop that chases the face frame by frame shakes, and shake reads as amateur.

What you get

Every one of these is a switch. Turn on what this video needs and leave the rest alone.

The AI reads what was said

False starts, repeated lines and off-script chatter are flagged one by one, for you to approve or keep.

Pauses cut automatically

Silence, hesitation and dead air are removed in the browser, before anything is uploaded. Free, no account.

Reframing that follows the face

16:9, 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 from one recording. The crop tracks whoever is speaking, one framing per take.

Person separated from background

Blur it or push it back so the speaker comes forward. The desktop app uses a heavier model for this.

Voice levelled and cleaned

Noise reduced, every scene brought to the same loudness, peaks held under the ceiling you choose.

Name bar, highlight and end card

Lower third, one sentence in focus and a closing card with your logo — placed on the preview itself.

Questions

The ones people ask before trying it.

Can NinjaClip automatically edit talking-head videos?

That is exactly what it was built for. Point it at a raw recording of someone speaking to camera and it returns a cut, captioned, reframed video — with every removed take listed so you can put it back.

Can I give it the script?

Yes — paste the script or open a .txt, .md or .docx. The selection then judges by delivery: which take says each line best. If the script does not match the footage, the app says so and falls back to judging each take on its own.

What does NinjaClip do?

It removes silence and hesitation, reads the transcript to flag false starts and repeated lines, generates captions in sync, reframes 16:9 footage to 9:16, 4:5 or 1:1 following the speaker, levels the voice, corrects colour, adds a soundtrack that ducks under speech, and exports the finished video or a timeline for Premiere, Final Cut and DaVinci.

Who is NinjaClip for?

People who record more than they edit: creators, teachers, founders and marketing teams shipping talking-head video. It was built for the person holding the camera, not for a professional editor — there is no timeline to assemble and no layers to stack.

Is NinjaClip free?

Cutting pauses is free and needs no account. Captions, take selection, soundtrack and export need a free account, because they use a server — five videos a month while the beta lasts.

How long can the video be?

Up to 30 minutes of combined footage per project in the browser — the ceiling is the browser's memory during export, not a plan limit. The desktop app has no ceiling.
