Questions? Answers.
Is the extension free?
Yes. The extension is free, and Nova is free to start — 60 minutes of clipping a month with no card. The button just sends the video you're watching to Nova.
What does the button do?
It opens Nova with the current YouTube video's link already filled in, so you skip the copy-paste. Nova then reads the video and cuts its best moments into vertical clips.
Do I need an account first?
No — click the button on any video and you can sign up (or sign in) on the spot. The video link carries through so you start clipping immediately.
Which sites does it work on?
YouTube watch pages and Shorts today. You can always paste a link from anywhere straight into Nova's uploader too.
