AI Clip Maker — turn a long video into short clips

Upload a long recording with speech and let the AI read it, find the strongest moments, and hand you each highlight as a short clip you can preview and download — no scrubbing through the whole timeline yourself, no guessing which thirty seconds will land.

Find the moments worth posting

A one-hour stream or webinar has a handful of clips people actually want. Instead of watching it all back, the AI reads the spoken transcript, scans for the strongest moments and marks where each one starts and ends, so you go from a long file to a shortlist of postable moments in one pass. The tedious part — deciding what to keep and where to cut — is exactly what the model takes off your plate. It looks for the beats where something actually happens: a clear statement, a reaction, a punchline, a self-contained answer, and trims around them so each clip stands on its own instead of dropping a viewer into the middle of a sentence.

Reframe and caption when you need to

The clip maker finds and cuts the moments; two nearby tools handle the finishing touches. The video cropper reframes a clip to 9:16 for vertical feeds, and the in-browser editor lets you add captions and fine-tune a highlight by hand. Cut first here, then reframe or caption only the clips you decide to post.

One recording, a week of posts

The point of automatic clipping is leverage: a single long recording holds enough short content to feed a whole posting schedule. You upload once and get back several self-contained moments, so the bottleneck moves from editing to simply choosing which ones to publish first. For anyone posting daily across Reels, Shorts and TikTok, that is the difference between one recording session a week and a scramble for something to post every single day — the long asset you already made becomes the source of everything you ship.

Step 1

Upload a long video

Drag in a recording with speech and preview it privately.

Step 2

Sign in to run

Finding highlights is a heavier job, so a run uses credits and needs a free account.

Step 3

AI finds the highlights

The model reads the transcript and picks the strongest self-contained moments.

Step 4

Play and download each clip

Jump to any highlight, then download it as an MP4 cut from your original file.

Highlights, not haystacks

The AI does the watching, surfacing the moments worth posting.

You do not scrub through hours of footage yourself.

Cut from your original

Each clip is cut from the file you uploaded, in your browser.

Cutting the clips after the run is free — you only paid to find them.

From one to many

A single long recording becomes a week of short posts.

It all comes from one upload.

Reframe when you need it

Send a clip to the cropper for 9:16 or to the editor for captions.

Finish only the clips you decide to post.

Same simple flow

It matches the upload, run and download pattern of the rest of the lane.

Pay only for results

Like the other live tools, it spends credits only on a successful run.
