Nova turns video links and uploads into short vertical clips, and can create narrated shorts from a script or pasted text. For video clipping, it transcribes the source, scores transcript sections for shareability, selects moments, reframes them vertically while tracking the speaker, and adds word-by-word captions. Supported sources include YouTube links and uploaded files such as podcasts, stream VODs, and webinars. Its faceless video feature pairs AI narration with looping background footage and captions. The free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and allows up to 12 clips and 30 source-minutes per month, with 1080p vertical exports and Classic captions. Starter costs 15.00 USD per month and includes up to 60 clips and 150 source-minutes; Pro is 29.00 USD per month and adds Premiere and DaVinci Resolve exports. Premium costs 99.00 USD per month and includes API access and team workspaces. Nova also describes a REST API and MCP server for programmatic clipping. It says transcripts and related text go to OpenAI, while source files, clips, and thumbnails are stored in AWS.
