Frequently asked questions
- What happened to TubeChop?
- TubeChop, which let you “chop” a single YouTube video down to a segment and share it, has been defunct for years. Vibby and Dragontape, which did similar things, also shut down. The niche kept being useful, but no maintained tool filled it — which is why ClipTunes exists.
- Is ClipTunes a drop-in TubeChop replacement?
- It does what TubeChop did and more. TubeChop trimmed one video at a time; ClipTunes lets you trim segments from many videos and play them in sequence as a single shareable playlist, with optional gaps between clips.
- Do my old TubeChop / Vibby links still work?
- No — those services are gone, so their links are dead. You’ll need to recreate the clips. The upside: in ClipTunes they live in a playlist you control and can reorder, re-trim, and share.
- Is it free, and is it allowed?
- Building and sharing public playlists is free. Playback runs through YouTube’s official embedded player — no downloading or re-hosting — so it stays within YouTube’s Terms of Service.
