Cut the best moments from any video

An hour of video already contains a week of shorts. The slow part is finding them — scrubbing the timeline, guessing where a moment starts, cropping, captioning, exporting. Paste a link and the AI reads the whole thing, scores every passage and hands back the ones worth cutting, already vertical.

You will create a free account to process the video — no credit card, and your link comes with you.

What it is looking for

Three things make a passage worth cutting

Every passage in the recording is measured against all three and ranked, so what comes back is a shortlist rather than a pile. You still decide.

Scored

Hook strength

How hard the opening seconds pull. A clip that starts mid-thought gets scrolled past however good the rest is.

The first line stops the scroll

Scored

Completeness

Whether the passage stands on its own — a point made and finished, rather than a fragment that needs the hour around it.

Starts and ends on a thought

Scored

Pace

Whether it keeps moving. A strong idea with thirty seconds of throat-clearing in the middle is not a short.

No dead air in the middle

How it works

Link in, clips out, in 4 steps

  1. Paste the link

    The tool checks the video and shows you the title and thumbnail so you know it found the right one.

  2. Create a free account

    Clipping needs storage and credits, so it runs inside your free Splicora workspace. The link is carried across.

  3. Pick your clips

    The AI lists the best moments with a virality score. Keep the ones you like or let Auto-Generate choose.

  4. Download or schedule

    Export the MP4s or publish them to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and six more platforms.

Before you paste

This page finds the video; the workspace cuts it

Worth knowing which half you are in, because the first half needs nothing from you and the second needs an account.

Here, no account

Finding the video

Paste the link and the tool checks it, then shows you the title and the thumbnail so you know it found the right one. Nothing is stored.

Cutting the clips

Transcribing an hour of video, scoring it, reframing to 9:16 and burning captions needs storage and processing credits, so it runs in your free workspace. No credit card, and your link comes with you.

Where they go next

The clip is not the end of it

How the YouTube clip maker works

Manual clipping means scrubbing a timeline, guessing where a good moment starts, cropping to vertical, adding captions and exporting — for every clip. Splicora replaces the guessing. Its AI transcribes the video, scores each passage for hook strength, completeness and pace, and returns a ranked list of candidate clips with start and end times already set. Each one is reframed to 9:16 with the speaker tracked and captioned with word-level timing.

The AI clip generator page explains the scoring in detail; this tool is the shortest path into it.

What kinds of YouTube videos clip well

  • Podcasts and interviews — the classic source; a one-hour episode yields eight to twelve strong clips.
  • Tutorials and explainers — each tip becomes a standalone short.
  • Webinars and talks — the "wait, really?" moments and the best audience questions.
  • Livestream replays — hours of material with the highlights found for you.
  • Your own back catalogue — old long-form videos are full of Shorts nobody has cut yet.

Clips are only the beginning

Once the clips exist, the hook generator writes the opening line, the B-roll generator adds cutaways, and the scheduler publishes each clip natively to ten platforms with its own caption. The same transcript also becomes a blog post and a newsletter. One link in, a week of content out.

Clip length, by platform

  • YouTube Shorts — under 60 seconds; the Shorts maker trims to the range that gets recommended.
  • TikTok — short and finished; 20 to 45 seconds is the sweet spot for a repurposed clip.
  • Instagram Reels — similar to TikTok, with a cover frame chosen for the grid; see the Reels generator.
  • LinkedIn and X — a single clear point, often under 30 seconds, with a caption that reads before the fold.

Splicora suggests a length per clip and lets you extend or shorten any of them before export.

Questions

The things people ask

Can I clip any YouTube video?

You can process any public video you have the rights to use — your own uploads, or content you have permission to repurpose.

Do I need to download the video first?

No. Paste the link and Splicora fetches it.

Are the clips vertical?

Yes, by default: 9:16 with AI face tracking, and 1:1 or 4:5 on request.

Is it free?

Splicora's Free plan includes a monthly credit pool for clipping, captions and the editor, with no credit card required.

One link, a week of posts

Stop scrubbing the timeline

The clips are the first step: hooks, B-roll, thumbnails, captions and publishing to ten platforms all run from the same link. Free plan, no card.
