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.

Vertical clips with captions, ready to edit

Pick the highlights you want to keep and continue editing: each one lands on the timeline as its own 9:16 clip with captions already timed to the speech. The vertical crop is taken from the centre of the frame and does not follow a person, so move it in the editor if the speaker sits off to one side. Fix a caption word, then export every picked clip at once — one vertical MP4 per highlight. Only finish 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.

From long video to short clips, in a few steps

Upload a long video, let the AI find the highlights, then play and download each short clip.

How the AI clip maker works

  1. A long film strip of consecutive frames from a single overhead cooking recording, laid out as one long source video on a plain surface

    Step 1

    Upload a long video

    Drag in a recording with speech — up to 60 minutes and 200MB — and preview it privately.

  2. A creator ready to sign in before running the highlight-finding process, shown in a focused workspace with the long-video workflow about to begin.

    Step 2

    Sign in to run

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

  3. Several AI-detected highlight candidates from weekly_podcast_episode.mp4, each shown as a concise self-contained spoken moment with an explanation of why it was selected.

    Step 3

    AI finds the highlights

    The AI reads the transcript in sentence-sized windows, judges each one for its opening hook, whether it makes sense on its own and whether it ends cleanly, and shows you why each highlight made the list.

  4. A finished downloadable short clip derived from weekly_podcast_episode.mp4, shown as a vertical captioned video ready to preview and download.

    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 the whole recording 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.

Edit and export them together

Select several highlights and open them as one 9:16 project with captions.

Batch export gives you one vertical MP4 per highlight.

Same simple flow

Upload a video, run it once, and download the clips you want.

Pay only for results

Credits are spent only when a run succeeds.
