You enter a short prompt — for example, "Motivating morning with coffee and a notebook, audience: working professionals 25–35." ClipDraft sends this to an AI video model, which generates a finished video in TikTok format (9:16) with audio in about 60 seconds. The video arrives directly as a draft in your TikTok app — no downloading or uploading needed.

No. ClipDraft generates complete videos without any camera footage. The AI model creates scenes, cuts, and audio entirely from your prompt. You don't need to film or record yourself — the system works purely based on what you describe.

Typically between 30 and 90 seconds, depending on the video model and server load. The finished video automatically appears as a draft in your TikTok app — you'll see it there when it's ready.

AI videos perform especially well in niches with visually repeatable content: motivation, finance tips, lifestyle, fitness routines, knowledge nuggets, and spiritual content. Niches that rely heavily on personal authenticity (e.g., comedy, personal storytelling) are less suited for pure AI content.

A strong prompt has three elements: topic (what should be shown), style/energy (calm, dynamic, dramatic), and optionally target audience. Example: "Show a morning routine: running, shower, healthy breakfast. Dynamic pace, quick cuts. For fitness beginners." The more specific, the better the result. Use the AI Script Writer for more refined prompts.

ClipDraft supports multiple AI video models: Seedance Fast (1 credit per 12s, best value for daily content), Seedance Pro (cinematic quality, 3 credits), Kling V3 (high detail, 4 credits), Vidu Q3 Turbo (stylized look, 2 credits), and Veo 3 Fast (Google's model, 5 credits). You can select the model directly in the app. The credit cost is displayed before you generate.

Yes — ClipDraft can automatically generate and burn subtitles into your video. After the video is created, the caption system transcribes the audio and embeds subtitles permanently into the MP4. A separate download button appears in your video history for the captioned version.

Yes — TikTok allows AI-generated content. Since January 2025, AI videos on TikTok are automatically labeled with an "AI-generated content" tag (Content Credentials). This is not a disadvantage — many of the most-watched TikToks are AI-generated or AI-assisted. Importantly, ClipDraft uses the official TikTok Creator API, not a bot or third-party upload.

For optimal growth, current research recommends 3–5 videos per week; posting daily can further increase reach. The TikTok algorithm favors consistent accounts — inconsistent posting is one of the most common growth killers. With ClipDraft automation, daily posting without time investment is realistic.

The most common reasons: (1) Weak hook — the first 3 seconds don't grab viewers, they scroll away. (2) Niche inconsistency — TikTok can't properly categorize your channel. (3) Insufficient posting frequency — you've been inactive for too long. (4) Shadowban due to a Community Guidelines violation. Our Hook Generator helps you craft better opening moments.

The hook is the first frame or first 1–3 seconds of your video. It decides whether a viewer keeps watching or scrolls away. TikTok measures what's called the completion rate — how many viewers watch the entire video. A strong hook dramatically increases this rate and signals the algorithm to show the video to a wider audience. Read more: 7 Hook Formulas That Work.

For beginners, 12–15 seconds is the sweet spot. Short videos have higher average completion rates, which the TikTok algorithm rewards with broader distribution. As your channel grows and your audience is loyal, you can experiment with 30–60 second videos for deeper engagement. ClipDraft's default 12-second format is specifically optimized for maximum early reach.

TikTok distributes new videos in rounds: first to a small test group (~200 viewers), then to larger audiences if initial engagement is strong. The three decisive signals are: completion rate (most important — did viewers watch until the end?), interaction rate (likes, shares, comments), and niche consistency (does your account consistently cover one topic?). Posting in one niche regularly gives every new video a head start because TikTok already knows your audience.

You set up an automation under /automations: choose a niche (e.g., "Motivation", "Finance", "Lifestyle"), a schedule (daily at 8:00 AM, timezone: your local zone), and confirm. The system automatically picks a sub-topic daily, generates the prompt, creates the video, and saves it as a draft in your TikTok app. Set it up once — get content every day.

The video lands as a draft in your TikTok app first. You post it with a single tap. Direct posting without your confirmation is intentionally not enabled — TikTok recommends that creators make the final decision on every publication.

This depends on your credit balance. Each automation generates one video per day, which uses credits. You can set up multiple automations for different niches or time slots — for example, a morning news automation and an evening motivation video.

Available automation categories include: Daily News (AI-researched topics: technology, business, politics), Bible Verse (short 12s or long 3-clip format), Motivation (short or long), and Custom Topic (your own recurring theme). Short formats generate 1 clip (12s); Long formats concatenate 3 clips (~36s total).

Yes — you can pause, resume, or delete any automation at any time from the /automations page. No credits are deducted while an automation is paused. Deleting an automation does not affect previously generated videos.

Each generated video costs credits. You buy credits once — no subscription, no automatic renewal. Credits never expire. You can purchase more credits anytime when your balance runs low. See pricing.

Yes — you receive free credits when you first log in. No credit card required, no subscription. Just sign in with your TikTok account and you're ready to go.

Yes. Seedance Fast costs 1 credit per 12-second video — the best value for regular content. Higher-quality models like Kling V3 Pro or Veo 3 Fast cost 4–6 credits per video. The exact credit cost is displayed next to each model in the app before you generate, so there are no surprises.

Yes — the Creator Plan at €9.90/month includes a monthly credit allowance for creators who generate videos regularly. Credits from the plan reset monthly, but separately purchased one-time credits are always kept. View the Creator Plan.

No — credits you purchase once-off never expire. You can use them whenever you like, at your own pace. Only monthly plan credits reset at each billing cycle.
