How it works

1

Paste any YouTube URL

Submit a single video or an entire YouTube channel. AutoClip accepts any public YouTube URL and queues it for processing immediately.

2

AI analyzes transcript and audio

Gemini 2.5 Flash reads the full transcript and evaluates audio signals — laughter, applause, energy peaks, speech rate — to score every 30–90 second segment for viral potential.

3

Clips are extracted and formatted

The top-scoring moments are cut, reframed to 9:16 vertical, and captioned. Each clip arrives in your dashboard ready to review and post.

4

Review and publish

Browse your clips, watch previews, check virality scores, and post to TikTok, Reels, or Shorts with one click.

About AI Video Clipping

AutoClip's AI clipping pipeline uses a two-pass analysis system. The first pass processes the full transcript to identify candidate moments based on content signals: punchlines, hot takes, emotional peaks, surprising facts, and story-arc completions. The second pass uses multimodal analysis — feeding both the transcript and the video frames into Gemini 2.5 Flash — to verify and re-score each candidate with visual context.

The result is a ranked list of clips scored across five criteria: hook strength, emotional intensity, information density, share-worthiness, and replay value. Each clip shows a breakdown of these scores so you understand exactly why the AI selected it. You're not just getting clips — you're getting the reasoning behind each selection.

Unlike tools that split videos into arbitrary segments or rely on simplistic virality scores, AutoClip understands the semantic content of videos. It knows the difference between a moment that generates laughter versus one that generates debate, and it surfaces both because different clip types serve different audience goals. The AI is trained on the full landscape of short-form video success signals, not just view counts.

Key benefits

Process hours of video in minutes

A 2-hour podcast that would take 4+ hours to clip manually is processed and ready in under 15 minutes. Queue multiple videos simultaneously to build a week of content in a single session.

Score-based selection you can trust

Every clip comes with a per-criterion score breakdown showing hook strength, emotional intensity, and share-worthiness. Understand why each moment was selected, not just that it was.

Works on any content type

Gaming streams, podcasts, interviews, debates, tutorials, commentary — AutoClip adapts its analysis to 7 content types to optimize moment detection for each format.

Tight and extended cut variants

Top-scoring moments automatically generate both a tight cut (optimized for hooks) and an extended cut (for more context). Two posting options from every great moment.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI video clipping?

AI video clipping is the automated process of analyzing a long-form video, identifying the most engaging or viral-worthy moments, and extracting them as short clips — without manual editing. AutoClip's AI reads the transcript and audio signals to find the moments most likely to perform well on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

How accurate is the AI at finding good clips?

AutoClip uses Gemini 2.5 Flash with a two-pass analysis system — first pass for transcript-based candidate selection, second pass for multimodal visual verification. The AI scores clips across five criteria and clippers report strong alignment between high-scoring clips and actual platform performance.

What video lengths and content types are supported?

AutoClip works on any public YouTube video from 5 minutes to several hours long. It's optimized for podcasts, gaming streams, interviews, commentary, debates, tutorials, and entertainment content. The AI adapts its analysis based on the detected content type.

How long does AI clipping take?

Most videos are processed and ready to review within 5–15 minutes. A 1-hour video typically produces 5–10 clips in under 10 minutes. You can queue multiple videos to process simultaneously.

Do I need video editing skills to use AutoClip?

No. The AI handles all editing automatically — trimming, reframing to 9:16 vertical, and adding captions. You only need to review the clips and approve or reject them. If you can identify an interesting moment when you watch it, the AI will find it for you.

Can I adjust which clips the AI selects?

Yes. You can review the full list of scored clips, including lower-ranked ones, and approve any clip you want to post. You can also submit the same video multiple times with different settings to explore different clip selections.
