Can AI clip a Nepali-language podcast into shorts?

ClipNepal transcribes Nepali audio directly, scores every candidate moment, and renders vertical clips with the captions burned in. The transcription is prompted for Nepali in Devanagari rather than romanised, and English loanwords are kept in Latin script where the speaker used English.

Why do Nepali captions render as empty boxes or broken letters?

Most caption fonts have no Devanagari coverage, so they draw a row of empty boxes, and most subtitle renderers do no shaping, so conjuncts decompose. Captions have to be rendered by something that shapes Devanagari and in a font that carries the Devanagari block, including the virama that forms every conjunct.

Which fonts can set Devanagari captions?

Khand, Teko and Mukta are display faces with full Devanagari coverage, and Noto Sans Devanagari covers the script in weights up to Black. Khand and Teko draw the Devanagari digits as Western figures, so ५० renders as 50 in either of them.

What does an Opus Clip alternative for Nepali need that an English one does not?

A transcriber prompted for Nepali rather than auto-detect, a caption renderer that shapes Devanagari conjuncts, fonts that carry the script, and clip boundaries that land on Nepali word edges rather than mid-word.

Cinematic Kinematics

Reframe horizontal videos to vertical with smooth, natural camera motion.

Unlike naive tools that violently snap the crop to every head movement, ClipNepal uses critically damped spring physics and comfortable deadbands to emulate a professional camera operator.

Core Capabilities

Engineered specifically for short-form virality

Spring Physics

Critically Damped Easing

Eliminates unnatural overshoot and rubber-banding. When the speaker moves, the camera eases into the pan and gently settles on the new position.

Zero Wobble

Comfortable Deadband

Normal head shifts and gestures inside the deadband keep the camera locked still—giving viewers a calm, professional watching experience.

Smooth Pans

Pan Speed Clamping

Even if a subject crosses the entire room quickly, the camera pan speed is capped to prevent viewer motion sickness.

Multi-Person Anti-Jitter

Speaker Inertia

When multiple people are visible, the tracker maintains continuity on the active speaker rather than ping-ponging back and forth.

Other Tools

Stationary Subject

✓Zero movement. Detection noise inside the deadband is completely ignored

✕Crops vibrate 3–5 pixels per frame with facial detection jitter

Pan Motion Curve

✓Piecewise constant/parabolic/linear ramps matching Google L1 stabilization

✕Instant linear snapping with sharp corners that feel robotic

Speaker Switching

✓Holds primary subject with 35% hysteresis; switches only when a new speaker dominates

✕Violently ping-pongs between two people who are sitting side by side

Frame Rate Integration

✓Integrates at 30 FPS regardless of detection sample rate for silky playback

✕Stepped movement at 5-10 FPS intervals

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions creators ask

What happens if no face is detected in the video?

If the clip contains screencasts, slides, or gameplay with no faces, ClipNepal automatically chooses a content-preserving letterbox ('fit') instead of an arbitrary center cut that would destroy 68% of your slide content.

Can I manually adjust the crop box?

Yes. In the Clip Editor, you can adjust framing preferences, switch between portrait (9:16), square (1:1), and landscape (16:9), or enable split layouts.
