Find the best clips
Clipping picks the strongest moments for you. For the best picks, paste the transcript: on YouTube, click …more under the video, then Show transcript, and copy it all. For an uploaded video you can leave this empty and Clipping listens for the liveliest moments instead.
Finds the best moments and makes each one into a ready-to-post video. Each clip plays through once while it records, so 5 clips of ~45 seconds take ~4 minutes. Keep this tab open.
⬇ makes a real video file of a clip, in the shape selected under the player (16:9, 9:16 or 1:1). It works for uploaded videos and plays the clip through once while it records.
AI video maker

Works best with a clear, front-facing face, like a cute 3D animal. You can make one for free with an AI image maker such as Microsoft Designer or Meta AI.
Upload a picture and Clipping finds the eyes and mouth by itself.
Boxes in the wrong place? Fix them
Pick one, then drag a box over it on the picture.
