Overview

If AI clipping is failing, it is usually because the video does not have enough usable content for the AI to analyze, the video quality is affecting transcription, or your monthly usage has already been consumed.

​
Common Reasons

​
1. The Video Is Too Short

  • Reap recommends videos longer than 10 minutes for the best clipping results.
  • The minimum video length for AI clipping is 2 minutes.
  • The maximum supported length for AI clipping is 3 hours.

​
2. The Audio Quality Is Limiting Analysis

AI clipping depends on strong transcription quality. Results may be affected by:
  • heavy background music
  • blurred or unclear speech
  • strong accents that reduce transcription accuracy
  • poor overall audio quality

​
3. The Source Video Has Technical Issues

Clipping can also fail when the source file itself has structural problems, for example:
  • missing orientation metadata
  • corrupted frames
  • no clear audio detected

​
4. Your Monthly Usage Has Been Used

AI clipping may also fail if you have already used your monthly credits.

​
Monthly Usage By Plan

  • Free Plan — 60 credits
  • Creator Plan — 600 credits
  • Studio Plan — 1200 credits

​
What To Try

  • Upload a longer video with clearer speech.
  • Reduce audio issues when possible.
  • Re-export or re-upload the source file if you suspect the video has damaged frames.
  • Check that the uploaded file has the correct orientation data.
  • Check whether you still have credits available in your plan.
  • Review the latest pricing and plan limits on Reap Pricing.

If The Project Already Failed

  • If you see a Retry button, retry the video first.
  • If there is no retry option, contact support for help.
If you contact support, include the project or video ID so the team can investigate the failure faster.
