Turn Long Videos
Into Shorts With AI
Effortlessly repurpose long-form videos, podcasts, interviews, and webinars into viral YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikToks. Automatically find peak moments, crop into 9:16, and burn in animated captions.
Turn One Long Video Into Multiple Shorts
Producing quality long-form video takes hours of preparation, recording, and editing. But releasing only the full episode leaves the majority of your audience untapped on short-form platforms.
With ClipViral AI, a single 45-minute podcast episode or livestream automatically yields 5 to 10 punchy, standalone shorts. Each clip preserves the original context, starts with a gripping hook, and delivers a memorable takeaway.
- Save 8+ hours of manual scrubbing and timeline cutting

- Drive viewers from short clips back to your full long-form episodes

How ClipViral AI Finds the Best Moments
Most clipping tools make arbitrary 30-second cuts that slice speakers off mid-thought. ClipViral AI works differently.
Our AI Viral Intelligence Engine scans the entire transcript to pinpoint genuine opening hooks—bold claims, curiosity questions, and high-energy setups—stripping filler words so your clip starts strong. It then tracks the thought through to its natural resolution or speech silence, guaranteeing a satisfying ending.
Automatic 9:16 Reframing
Horizontal 16:9 recordings look tiny and unengaging on mobile screens. Our active-speaker framing automatically detects faces and centers the person speaking, cropping horizontal footage into immersive full-screen vertical video.

Everything You Need to Know
Clear answers about converting long video to shorts with ClipViral AI.
How does ClipViral AI turn long videos into shorts?
ClipViral AI combines speech transcription, NLP viral hook detection, and computer vision speaker framing. It finds punchy 3-second opening statements, pairs them with satisfying concluding payoffs, formats the video vertically, and embeds animated captions automatically.
What types of long-form videos work best?
Podcasts, video interviews, live stream highlights, keynote talks, educational webinars, and talking-head YouTube videos perform exceptionally well because they are rich in spoken value, questions, and storytelling moments.
Do I have to manually adjust the video crop for vertical formats?
No. ClipViral AI automatically locates active faces and speakers in horizontal 16:9 video and reframes them into vertical 9:16 so the subject remains centered throughout the clip.
What is the ideal duration for generated shorts?
Our pipeline targets the optimal retention sweet spot of 30 to 60 seconds (strictly between 30 and 90 seconds) and finishes on a natural speech pause so the clip never cuts off mid-sentence.
Can I edit or customize captions?
Yes, you can preview generated clips, verify captions, and choose dynamic subtitle presets before exporting your final video.
