How to use AI Clipping

Turn long videos into short clips with AI Clipping.

👀 Availability

AI Clipping may use credits. Upload source, video length, scores, and advanced settings can depend on your plan.

Use AI Clipping when you want WayinVideo to find strong short clips from a long video for you.

AI Clipping is best when you do not have one exact moment in mind yet. WayinVideo reviews the video, finds promising highlights, and creates multiple clips you can edit, export, or publish.

WayinVideo can use both dialogue and visual context when creating clips. Strong moments can come from what someone says, what appears on screen, a reaction, a scene change, a product demo, or an important event in the video.

When to use AI Clipping

Use AI Clipping for:

  • Podcasts and interviews

  • Webinars and educational videos

  • Product demos and reviews

  • Livestream recordings

  • Creator videos and long-form YouTube videos

  • Videos where you want several possible highlight clips

If you want to find a specific person, character, action, emotion, scene, topic, or quote, use Find Moments instead.

For gameplay or stream VODs, use Game Clipping.

For upload requirements, file limits, and supported links, see Supported Upload Sources & Limits.

Choose a clip length

Choose a length based on where the clip will be published.

Clip length

Best for

Short clips

Fast reactions, quick hooks, memes, and social-first moments

Medium clips

Useful explanations, stories, product moments, and Q&A answers

Longer clips

Context-heavy moments that need more setup or payoff

If you are unsure, start with a medium length. You can trim the clip later in the editor.

Review the results

AI Clipping usually creates multiple clips from one long video. Treat the first results as a shortlist.

Each clip comes with a Viral Score — a free signal that helps you compare clips at a glance. WayinVideo also provides smart analysis across dimensions like hook strength, story structure, value, engagement, and reach potential. These detailed breakdowns are available on paid plans.

When reviewing clips, look for:

  • A strong first few seconds

  • A complete idea or moment

  • Clear visual focus

  • Useful, funny, emotional, surprising, or high-energy content

  • A clip ending that does not feel cut off

  • A format that fits your target platform

Scores can help you compare clips faster, but you should still watch the clips before publishing. For a full explanation of the Viral Score and dimension analysis, see What does clip quality or viral score mean?

Polish the best clips

After choosing a clip, you can improve it in the editor.

Common next steps:

  • Trim the start or ending

  • Add or edit subtitles

  • Resize with AI Reframe

  • Add an AI Hook

  • Add text, B-roll, music, or elements

  • Create a thumbnail

  • Rewrite the title, description, and hashtags for social platforms
