What you get for $29 once
- Any source video. Open any MP4/WebM/MOV/MKV, or pick straight from your BloomRecorder and Bloom Meeting libraries with thumbnails.
- Cut marking on a timeline. Scrub, set start/end, add the cut — every cut is an editable row you can tweak to the tenth of a second, preview in place, or delete.
- Full 9:16 angle. One aspect-locked crop box over the source: drag to move, drag the corner to zoom, with a live zoom readout.
- Interview split-stack mode. Two aspect-locked 9:8 boxes — one per speaker — and the render stacks them to fill the vertical frame.
- Live phone preview. A phone mock shows exactly what the rendered 1080×1920 clip will look like, per cut, while you drag.
- No renewal, ever. The license does not expire and there is no per-seat meter — $29 is the whole price.
Pricing questions
Does my video get uploaded anywhere?
No. Bloom Clipper makes zero network calls — clipping, captions, silence removal and rendering all run locally via bundled ffmpeg and on-device Whisper.
How does the interview mode work?
Half 9:16 mode gives you two aspect-locked 9:8 crop boxes, one per speaker. The render crops and scales each to 1080×960 and stacks angle 1 on top of angle 2 to fill the 1080×1920 frame.
Can I control the framing, or is it auto-only?
You control it. Each cut has its own draggable, corner-zoomable crop with a live zoom readout, and the phone preview shows the exact rendered result while you drag. No AI guessing where the speaker is.
Is the source code available?
Yes — Bloom Clipper is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/bloomclipper. Buying the $29 package gets you the built installer and updates; building from source is free.
