Clip modes & sources
Three ways to cut a video, and every way to get one in.
The three modes
| Mode | Best for | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Topics | Podcasts, interviews, commentary | Transcribes the video, finds self-contained discussion moments, scores them for shareability, and renders vertical clips with word-timed captions plus drafted titles, descriptions and hashtags. |
| Moments | Gameplay, streams, fast reactions | The classic cut - detects high-energy moments and renders them fast. Renders without captions; use Topics (or restyle in OmniCut) when you want burned-in captions. |
| Clip anything | Music, b-roll, visual content, mixed media | Doesn't rely on speech: finds visually strong segments in any footage. When there is speech it captions it; silent footage renders clean. |
Sources
- YouTube links - paste a normal video URL.
- Playlists - paste a
youtube.com/playlistURL and it fans out into one job per video (up to 25), grouped as a single batch project with per-video progress and a pooled clip rail. - Stream VODs - paste the VOD link once the stream has ended.
- Uploads - MP4, MKV, WebM or MOV straight from disk. Audio files (MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, Opus) are accepted in Transcribe mode.
Channel pages and
@handle links aren't
supported - the pipeline needs a specific video or playlist. If a link is
rejected, open the video itself and copy that URL.Clip length
A dual-handle slider in the composer sets the minimum and maximum clip length, from short punchy cuts up to 15-minute segments. The AI picks natural start and end points inside your range, so clips end on a complete thought instead of mid-sentence.
