AI Clip Creation: automatically create short clips from long videos

What is AI Clip Creation?

AI Clip Creation helps turn long videos into short clips without manually watching the full recording or using complex editing software.

Normally, to create short videos from a long recording, you need to watch the whole video, find good moments, write down timestamps, cut fragments, prepare them for social media and export each clip separately.

ClipThemAll automates this process. The service analyzes the source video, identifies fragments that are better suited for the short format and creates a package of clips for download.

This service is especially useful for content creators, podcasters, experts, marketers, online schools, YouTube channels and companies that want to get more short-form content from videos they have already recorded.

What types of videos is AI Clip Creation best for?

AI Clip Creation works best for videos that contain meaningful fragments, separate topics, answers, emotions, examples or strong statements.

You can use the service for:

• podcasts;
• interviews;
• webinars;
• online courses;
• educational videos;
• YouTube videos;
• expert talks;
• presentations;
• reviews and consultations;
• long talking-head videos.

For example, one podcast episode can become several short clips with strong quotes. A webinar can become short educational fragments. An interview can become separate answers or emotional moments. A YouTube video can become short versions for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.

What the user receives

After video processing is complete, the user receives a set of materials prepared according to the selected settings.

The AI Clip Creation service includes:

AI-selected best moments

The service analyzes the long video and selects moments that are best suited for short clips.

These can be meaningful fragments, interesting answers, emotional moments, strong statements or parts of the video that may be useful for social media.

Ready-to-download short clips package

After processing, the user receives a package of short clips that are ready to download.

The clips are created from the source video and can be used as independent short videos or as a base for further editing and publishing.

Optional TikTok/Reels/Shorts format exports

If needed, you can additionally prepare clip versions for vertical social media formats.

This is useful if you want to use the video for:

• TikTok;
• Instagram Reels;
• YouTube Shorts.

The service can prepare an additional version of the clips in a format suitable for short vertical videos.

Visual emotion detection

The Visual emotion detection option helps take visual emotional reactions in the video into account.

It can be useful when facial expression, speaker reaction, emotional moments or visual dynamics matter. This option helps evaluate fragments where there is a clear reaction or a potentially stronger moment for a short clip.

Smart face tracking

The Smart face tracking option is used for vertical versions and helps keep the face or main speaker in the frame.

This is especially important when preparing clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts if the source video is horizontal and the final video needs to be vertical.

Smart face tracking helps make the vertical version easier to watch, so the main person in the frame is not lost when the format changes.

Timeline file with selected moments

The user also receives a file with the selected moments.

This timeline file helps you understand which fragments were selected, where they are located in the source video and which parts of the material were used to create the clips.

It is useful for reviewing the result, internal approval, repeated editing or further work with the content.

Which settings and parameters are used before processing?

Before processing starts, the user chooses the service type and additional options, while the technical parameters of the uploaded video are detected automatically by the system.

In the demo calculator, the user can manually enter video duration and resolution to estimate an approximate processing cost in advance. This is useful before registration and before uploading a file.

When creating a real order in the account area, the interface automatically reads the parameters of the uploaded video, including duration, resolution and other technical data needed to calculate the price.

Estimated short clips number

During calculation, the service shows an estimated number of short clips that may be created from the selected video.

This is an estimate. The actual result depends on the video content, structure, pace, material quality and selected settings.

Additional options

AI Clip Creation supports additional options:

Visual emotion detection
Takes visual emotional reactions into account and helps find more expressive moments.

Additional TikTok/Reels/Shorts version
Creates an additional version of the clips for short vertical platforms.

Shorts face tracking

For short vertical versions, you can choose the face tracking mode:

Smart face tracking
The service automatically tries to keep the face or main speaker in the vertical frame.

No face tracking
The vertical version is created without intelligent face tracking.

This setting is especially important if the source video is horizontal, but the clips are intended to be published as vertical Shorts, Reels or TikTok videos.

How AI Clip Creation works

The process consists of several steps.

1. Upload your video

First, the user uploads the source video or provides a supported link. Supported video formats include MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WEBM, MPG and MPEG.

This can be a podcast, interview, webinar, online course, YouTube video or another long video file.

2. Choose AI Clip Creation

At the processing selection step, choose AI clip creation.

This means that the service will not simply cut the video into equal parts, but will analyze the material and search for the best moments for short clips.

3. Set the available options

Before calculation, you can choose the available additional options:

• approximate clip length;
• Visual emotion detection;
• Additional TikTok/Reels/Shorts version;
• Smart face tracking or No face tracking.

The technical parameters of the video itself, such as duration and resolution, are detected automatically after the file is uploaded when creating the order.

4. Get the order price

After the video is uploaded and the options are selected, the service forms the processing price.

This amount is the final service price from ClipThemAll for the selected order. It is calculated based on the actual parameters of the uploaded video, the processing type and the selected additional options.

The amount may change during payment only on the payment platform side, for example because of taxes that may be added automatically depending on the user's country, payment method and payment provider rules.

5. Confirm the order and pay

After reviewing the settings, the user confirms the order and pays for processing online.

No subscription is required. The user pays only for the selected processing of a specific video.

6. Download the finished clips

After processing is complete, the finished clips become available in the user's account.

The user can download the short clips package, additional vertical versions and the file with selected moments.

How AI Clip Creation is different from regular video cutting

AI Clip Creation is not the same as simply cutting a video into equal parts.

With regular video cutting, the file is split by the number of clips or by the duration of each clip. This option is useful when the user already knows exactly how the video should be divided.

AI Clip Creation works differently. The service analyzes the video content and tries to select the most suitable moments for the short format.

Choose AI Clip Creation if you want to:

• find strong moments in a long video;
• get short clips without manually searching for timestamps;
• prepare content for social media;
• use one long video for several posts;
• save time on the first selection of fragments.

If you only need to split a video into parts, it is better to choose Video Cutting.
If you only need to convert a full video into a vertical format without selecting the best moments, it is better to choose Vertical Conversion Only.

Benefits of AI Clip Creation

Save time

Instead of manually watching a long recording and looking for good fragments, the user can upload a video and receive automatically selected clips.

This is especially useful if you regularly publish podcasts, interviews, webinars or long YouTube videos.

Get more content from one video

One long piece of content can become a source of several short posts.

For example, one interview can produce several fragments for Reels, Shorts or TikTok. This helps you publish more often without constantly recording new videos.

Prepare for social media faster

With the TikTok/Reels/Shorts additional option, you can receive versions prepared for vertical platforms.

This is useful for creators and companies that want to use long-form content in a short social media format.

Keep control of the result

The user receives not only clips, but also a timeline file with selected moments.

This makes it possible to check which parts of the source video were used and, if needed, use this information for further editing.

When to choose AI Clip Creation

Choose AI Clip Creation if you have a long video and want to get short clips from it for publishing or further work.

This service is suitable if:

• you do not want to manually search for the best moments;
• you have long recordings that need to be turned into short content;
• you want to create clips from podcasts, interviews or webinars;
• you need materials for TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts;
• you want to get several short clips from one source video;
• you need additional options such as visual emotion detection and smart face tracking.

When another service may be better

AI Clip Creation is not the best option for every task.

Choose Vertical Conversion Only if:

• you already have a finished video;
• you do not need to select the best moments;
• you only want to convert the full video into a vertical format;
• you need a version for TikTok, Reels or Shorts;
• you want to keep the original video content in full.

Choose Video Cutting if:

• you only need to split a video into several parts;
• you want to cut the video by number of clips;
• you want to cut the video by the duration of each clip;
• you do not need AI selection of the best moments;
• you need simple technical cutting of the source file.

How much does AI Clip Creation cost?

The cost of AI Clip Creation is calculated individually for each video.

The ClipThemAll service price depends on:

• video duration;
• video resolution;
• selected processing type;
• approximate clip length;
• additional options;
• whether vertical versions are needed;
• the use of visual emotion detection;
• the use of smart face tracking.

When creating an order, the service reads the parameters of the uploaded video and forms the processing price. This price is the final service price from ClipThemAll for the selected order.

During payment, the final amount may change only because of factors on the payment platform side, such as taxes that are added automatically depending on the user's country, payment method and payment provider rules.

ClipThemAll does not require a mandatory subscription. You pay only for the selected processing of your video.
