Before you start
- Apple-silicon Mac, macOS 26.2 or later. Other devices have not been accepted.
- Internet and room for approximately 2 GB of model downloads, plus videos and recovery copies. Setup checks additional model space.
- Your own Gemini AI Studio key and available quota for cloud clip generation. Provider billing is separate; selected transcripts and sampled frames may be sent to that provider.
Install and make your first clip
- Download and extract the ZIP. Keep the folder intact: it includes the installer, third-party source material, notices and checksums.
- Open its DMG and drag Clippie to Applications.
- Open Clippie. If blocked as unnotarized and you trust the sender, follow Apple's per-app Open Anyway instructions. Stop and contact the sender if macOS reports damage or malware; do not disable system security.
- Prepare required local models in Settings, connect your provider, check access and apply a routing preset. Review any warnings.
- Import a short local video, generate within your chosen allowance, review/edit a clip, and export MP4/SRT. Play the result outside Clippie and check speech, captions, framing and meaning.
