We've revamped the clip selection algorithm that powers Video Clipper. Long-form to Shorts clipping now uses the best AI models for the job—so you get smarter, more engaging clip candidates with less manual sifting. Same simple workflow: paste a YouTube URL, get Shorts-ready clips ranked by quality.
What changed
Our clip selection pipeline has been rebuilt from the ground up. We still transcribe your video and detect the best moments, but we now use state-of-the-art AI models tuned for short-form virality: better at spotting hooks, punchlines, and shareable moments in long-form content. The result is a higher hit rate of clips you'll actually want to publish as YouTube Shorts.
Best AI models for the job
Not every task needs the same model. We now route each step—transcription, segment detection, scoring, and ranking—to the best-in-class AI for that job. That means more accurate transcripts, sharper clip boundaries, and rankings that reflect what actually performs well on Shorts. You get the same one-credit-per-minute pricing; we absorb the upgrade so your clips get better over time.
Same workflow, better clips
Nothing changes on your side. Paste a long-form YouTube URL, click "Get AI Clips," and we return Shorts-ready segments sorted by quality. The revamped algorithm simply surfaces more of the moments that deserve to become Shorts—so you spend less time trimming and more time publishing.
