Using Smart Shorts to Create Viral Clips

Mode 1: Viral Moments Analysis

Go to Smart Shorts from the sidebar. Paste a video link and click Analyze Video. The AI identifies viral-worthy moments with timestamps, titles, and virality scores displayed as colored badges with visual bars.

Generating Individual Clips

Each clip card has a toolbar with buttons: Preview, Generate Clip, Captions, Translate, and Narrate. Select a clip, choose your caption style, and click Generate Clip. The clip is created with burned-in captions in a TikTok/Reels style. Download the finished MP4 when ready, or use Export All to download everything at once.

Mode 2: Auto-Generate Shorts

Click the Auto-Generate tool card (the lightning-bolt icon) in the premium tools grid. This lets you create multiple shorts from one long video automatically — similar to Opus Clip.

• Paste a video link
• Choose how many shorts you want (1 to 20) using the slider
• Select duration for each short: 30s, 45s, 60s, 90s, or Custom
• Configure clip style, captions, and language
• Click Generate Shorts and watch real-time progress
• Download individual clips or Download All as ZIP
