Finding your way around

Navigation fits in a sidebar, in two groups. On a narrow screen, it collapses. Your credit balance sits in the top bar, on every page.

The “Create” group

Generate

This is where you paste a link, choose your portion and settings, and see the amount before launching. See Your first generation.

Projects

A project is one source and everything that came out of it. The grid shows one card per generation: the thumbnail of the original video, its title, the number of clips, the date and the time left before deletion. A monitored live stream makes a single card, all segments together; a failed generation keeps its own, marked “Failed”.

A card opens on its clips. Its “…” menu lets you rename it, delete it, or retry a failure. See Your projects.

Brand template

Logo, banner, font, colour grading: what gets burned onto your clips. You can create several templates, mark one as default, and choose which one applies before each launch. See Brand templates.

The “Distribute” group

Live Monitor

Watching a channel: on Twitch and Kick, ClipHeat cuts clips during the stream; on YouTube, it processes the channel’s new videos. Included in the Studio plan. See Monitoring a live stream.

Publishing

Four tabs: Statistics, Published, Schedule and Accounts. This is where you connect your accounts (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Threads, Bluesky), follow your scheduled posts and see the numbers of those already out — and your account’s: views per day, followers, best moments to post. See Publishing and Statistics.

Settings

In the account menu, at the top of the sidebar. Four tabs:

Tab	What you find there
Account	Your address, its confirmation, how you sign in, end-of-generation emails.
Plan	The current plan, credits, storage used, connected social accounts, the history of movements.
Security	Password, API keys, and the guided tour to replay.
Interface	The app’s language and browser notifications.

See Account settings.

The foot of the sidebar

	What it is for
Report something	A problem, a billing question, an idea. The reply comes by email.
Discord	The community server.
API & MCP	Driving ClipHeat from your own tools. Included in the Studio plan.
Help Center	This documentation.
Service status	What is working and what has an incident. The first thing to check when something fails.

Generations in progress

When a generation is running or waiting, its card shows up right away in Projects, with the video’s thumbnail, and an animated mark lights up on the tab. The top bar only flags it when the queue is full or a live stream is being watched. One generation runs at a time per account; if you start another, a window reminds you before it goes to wait its turn.

Language

The interface comes in French and English. The quickest way: the account menu, at the top of the sidebar, Language entry — it shows the current language and opens the list. The same setting is in Settings → Interface. The website and this documentation follow your choice. This choice does not change the subtitle language, which is set for each generation.
