AI clip maker for long videos. Your best moments, scored, vertical and captioned.
An AI clip maker turns one long video into short, ready-to-post clips for Reels, Shorts and TikTok. Upload a file or paste a YouTube link and we find 4 to 60 moments, each with a score from 0 to 100 and a moment type. You pick the keepers, trim them word by word and download them vertical, with captions.

Automatic clips, scored from 0 to 100
We go through the whole video, first minute to last, and pull out the moments that stand on their own once they leave the full episode or sermon. Every clip comes with a score from 0 to 100 and a moment type, so you can decide in seconds what goes out on Monday and what waits for Thursday. Before you upload, pick a length range and, if you want, tell us in one sentence what you are after. Nothing gets posted for you. It is a shortlist to review, not an autopilot.
- 4 to 60 clips per video, each with a score and a moment type
- Moment types: hook, insight, story, proof, opinion, emotion, teaching, call to action and humor
- Length range set at upload: auto, under 30 s, 30 to 59 s, 60 to 89 s or 90 s to 3 min
- Plain-text instructions like “only the parts about money” or “the moments where the guest tells their own story”
Clip it yourself, word by word
Sometimes the moment you want is not on the list. Open the transcript, select the first and last word of the clip, and you are done. You can also start from a hook, a marked emotion or a scene in the script. Trimming happens in the text, so you read exactly what you will hear instead of scrubbing the playhead for the right frame. If a name is misspelled, fix it in the transcript and the clip's captions pick up the correction. To tighten the delivery, remove pauses and filler words before you download.
- Start from the transcript, a hook, an emotion or a script scene (hooks and scripts on Studio and Agency)
- Drop a word or a repeated phrase with one click
- Remove pauses at three levels: light, balanced or strong
- Hesitations like “um” and “uh” are on the default list, and you can add your own filler words
Vertical 9:16 clips, captioned and watermark-free
Every clip comes out in the shape of the platform it is headed for: 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, 1:1 or 4:5 for the feed, 16:9 for YouTube, or the original frame. In vertical, the frame follows whoever is speaking. Captions go on in the style you choose, and 48 ready-made templates handle the look in one click, with the clip title built into the design. Downloads keep the quality of your source. Paid plans have no watermark; trial clips end with a FilmScribe card.
- 48 templates across social post, conversation, news, podcast, ranking, comparison, story, gamer and minimalist
- 235 caption styles and 54 fonts, with word-by-word highlight
- Clip length: up to 15 min on Pro; no limit on Studio and Agency, capped at 25 min with captions
| Format | Where it goes |
|---|---|
| 9:16 | Reels, Shorts, TikTok and Stories |
| 4:5 | Instagram and Facebook feed |
| 1:1 | Square feed posts and ads |
| 16:9 | YouTube and the lobby screen |
| Original | Keeps the frame you recorded |

Frequently asked questions
How many clips does FilmScribe suggest per video?
Between 4 and 60 clips per video, each with a score from 0 to 100 and a moment type such as hook, story, teaching or humor. You steer the search with the length range you pick at upload and a plain-text instruction, and you only post the ones you approve. If a moment is missing, make a manual clip from the transcript.
What should I look for in an AI clipping tool?
Check three things: whether you can steer it (length range, plain-text instructions), whether you can fix a clip word by word instead of starting over, and what happens after the cut (vertical reframe, captions, templates, no watermark). FilmScribe does all of that in one place, and you can try it on your own video before adding a card.
Can I make clips from a YouTube link?
Yes. Paste a regular video, Short, clip, youtu.be or livestream link. There is nothing to download first. We fetch the video, transcribe it and suggest clips, and you can download them at up to 1440p source quality on Pro or up to 4K on Studio and Agency.
How are the best moments chosen?
We analyze the whole video and pull out the moments that make sense on their own. Each one gets a 0 to 100 score and a type, such as hook, story or teaching. You steer the search with a length range and a plain-text instruction, and you always make the final call.
Can I clip a YouTube livestream?
Yes. Paste the livestream link and we process it once the replay is available on YouTube. For long streams, select just the part you need before processing, like the sermon without the worship set. Only that range is processed and counted against your monthly hours.
Which clip length ranges can I choose?
Five: auto, under 30 s, 30 to 59 s, 60 to 89 s and 90 s to 3 min. You pick one at upload and can try more than one on the same video. Hooks and humor tend to work short, while stories and teaching need room for the idea to land. Not sure? Leave it on auto and compare the scores.
Is there a watermark?
Not on paid plans. Pro, Studio and Agency export clean clips. During the trial, which lasts 3 days or 1 hour of material, clips end with a FilmScribe card so you can judge the results on your own footage before you subscribe.
