Nova vs VEED

The VEED alternative that
does the clipping for you

VEED is a full online editor — powerful, but you still cut every clip by hand. Nova flips it: paste a link and the AI finds the viral moments, reframes them vertical, and captions them automatically. The first cut is done before you open an editor.

Questions? Answers.

Is Nova a good VEED alternative?

If your goal is turning long videos into short clips, yes — Nova automates the part VEED leaves to you. It finds the moments, reframes to 9:16, and captions them automatically, with a real free tier and 1,800+ source support. VEED is a broader manual editor; Nova is purpose-built for AI clipping.

Does Nova have a video editor?

Nova focuses on automated clipping, then lets you adjust after the cut — set your own clip times, fix or restyle captions, and rewrite the on-screen hook, previewed live and re-rendered in one click. For full timeline editing you can export an EDL/FCPXML to Premiere, Final Cut, or Resolve.

Is there a free plan?

Yes — 60 minutes/month with no credit card. Paid plans are $29 (Pro) and $99 (Premium).
