Most replayed, found

YouTube draws a graph of the seconds viewers rewatch. HotClip reads it and suggests the three hottest moments.

Choose 15, 30, 60 or 90 seconds. Not quite right? Drag the window along the graph or set the start and end by hand. No graph on the video? Set the times yourself.

One clip, any platform: Shorts and Reels 9:16, Feed 4:5, Square 1:1, Wide 16:9 or the original.

Export at 720p, 1080p, 1440p or 4K. Fill the frame, or keep the whole picture over blurred edges.

HotClip questions

Which videos can I clip?

Your own videos, or videos whose creator has given you permission, such as approved clipping programs. Respect the creator's copyright and each platform's rules.

Why do some videos have no graph?

YouTube shows Most replayed only on videos with enough views. You can still set the start and end yourself and cut the clip.

Which APK should I download?

Universal works everywhere. arm64-v8a is a third of the size and fits most phones made since 2017; armeabi-v7a is for older 32-bit phones; x86_64 is for Chromebooks and emulators.

Where are my clips saved?

In Movies/HotClip, so they show up in your gallery. Each clip also has a Share button for YouTube, Instagram or WhatsApp.

How do I update it?

HotClip checks this site and shows Update now when a new version is out. Tap it and install over the old one; your clips stay where they are.

What does HotClip collect?

No accounts, and never the links you paste or the clips you make. Ads come from Google AdMob and usage counts from Firebase Analytics; the privacy policy lists exactly what.
