Use cases
What you get
The AI reads your full transcript word-by-word, scoring hook strength, story arc, emotional peaks, and controversy signals at every second.
Each candidate clip gets a virality score based on hook quality, pacing, quotability, and emotional punch — so you always know what to publish first.
Cut points are chosen for clean narrative arcs — the AI avoids mid-sentence cuts and always starts on a strong hook.
Clips are automatically trimmed to the optimal length for YouTube Shorts (≤60 s) and X (≤2:20) without losing context.
Get a full batch of publishable content from a single long video — weeks of posting from one upload session.
Every clip is cut, subtitled, and ready to publish. From URL paste to live post in under 10 minutes.
How it works
We pull the full transcript — either from YouTube captions or by running Whisper speech recognition on the audio — giving the AI complete word-level timing data.
Grok analyses the transcript using a purpose-built virality prompt: it identifies hook phrases, emotional spikes, quotable one-liners, controversy moments, and strong call-to-action language.
The top-scoring windows are converted into actual video clips using FFmpeg — with burned-in captions already applied — and queued for publishing.
Flexible workflow
Whether you want set-and-forget automation or full creative control, Smart Clip Finder works your way.
Paste a URL and walk away. The AI handles everything from clip selection to publishing.
Tell the AI what to prioritise and review clips before they go live.
