How does the AI pick the clips?

The full transcript is analyzed for self-contained moments with a hook — strong claims, stories, emotional peaks, punchlines, surprising facts. Boundaries snap to sentence starts and ends so clips never begin mid-thought.

What kind of videos work best?

Talking content: podcasts, interviews, streams, lectures, vlogs. The picker is transcript-driven, so videos without speech aren't suitable — for music or b-roll, use our resize and caption tools directly.

How is the video cropped to vertical?

Center-cropped to 9:16 at 1080×1920. Framing that keeps the speaker near the middle of the shot (as most talking-head content does) crops cleanly.

Can I turn the captions off?

Yes — toggle them off before processing. On is recommended: most short-form viewing happens muted, and burned captions are the single biggest watch-time lever.

How long can the input video be?

Up to your plan's upload limit. Longer videos take proportionally longer to transcribe and render; a 30-minute podcast typically finishes in a few minutes.
