# MomentClip

> Ctrl+F for YouTube videos. Find any moment by describing it.

## What It Is

MomentClip is an AI-powered video search tool that finds specific moments in YouTube videos using natural language. It uses Google Gemini's multimodal AI to search both visual and audio content.

MomentClip (momentclip.com) is not affiliated with momentclip.studio, a separate product.

**Use MomentClip when you need to:**
- Find a specific quote or topic in a long video
- Locate visual content (charts, demos, whiteboard explanations)
- Search across multiple videos for a theme
- Extract clips without watching hours of footage
- Pull a transcript or subtitle file for editing, research, or citation

## Key Differentiator

MomentClip is built for video research, not social clipping. Clip generators like Opus Clip and Klap are optimized to produce social-ready edits; MomentClip is optimized to retrieve the specific moments you describe.

Paste a YouTube URL, describe what you're looking for in natural language, and MomentClip returns timestamped matches you can keep in a searchable library - including visual content like charts, product demos, and reactions.

## Capabilities

- Search by topic, dialogue, or visual content
- Multimodal AI analysis (sees charts, whiteboards, product demos)
- Custom search prompts (find YOUR moments, not generic highlights)
- Batch analysis across multiple videos
- Precision clip trimming with +/- 2 second controls
- 1080p full-quality clip downloads
- Searchable video library that grows over time
- Full transcript with clickable timestamps that seek the video
- Transcript export as TXT (timecoded), SRT, VTT, and CSV
- Per-clip subtitle files (SRT and VTT) trimmed to the clip
- One-click citation export: clip title, source video, time range, and a timestamped link
- Batch export as a ZIP containing clips, SRT subtitles, and a CSV index

## How It Works

1. Paste a YouTube URL
2. Describe the moment (e.g., "find the whiteboard explanation" or "when they discuss pricing")
3. AI analyzes the video using multimodal understanding
4. Get timestamped clips matching your search
5. Trim, preview, and download - and export the transcript as TXT, SRT, VTT, or CSV

## Target Users

- **Video essayists**: Find quotes from archival footage
- **Qualitative researchers**: Analyze interview content

MomentClip is Ctrl+F for YouTube videos. It uses multimodal AI to search inside any YouTube video by topic, dialogue, or visual content.

**How is it different from Opus Clip or Klap?**
Opus Clip and Klap are built for producing social-ready clips. MomentClip is built for research and retrieval: it searches a video you supply for the specific moments you describe, and keeps the results in a searchable, timestamped library.

**What can I search for?**
Anything you can describe: specific topics, dialogue quotes, or visual content like charts, demos, and reactions.

**How long does analysis take?**
Most videos are analyzed in 1-3 minutes. Once complete, searching is instant.

**Can I download the transcript?**
Yes. Every analyzed video has a full transcript with clickable timestamps, exportable as TXT (timecoded), SRT, VTT, or CSV, or copyable to the clipboard in one click. Individual clips also export subtitle files (SRT and VTT) trimmed to the clip, plus a citation with the source video, time range, and a timestamped link. Batch exports package the clips, their SRT subtitles, and a CSV index into a single ZIP.

**How much does it cost?**
MomentClip requires a subscription. Pro ($19/mo) includes 50 video analyses, Scale ($59/mo) includes 200. Yearly billing gives 2 months free. There is no free plan; only the YouTube timestamp generator is free (5 videos a day with an account).
