Identify clips using AI and experience instant video editing
Kapwing's AI Clip Maker simplifies video editing by automatically scanning your footage and identifying the best moments to turn into short highlights.

Our AI stitches related sections together and removes irrelevant content, transforming long videos into concise 15-second to 3-minute clips.
With additional capabilities like editing video by editing text, creating studio-quality clips is both easy and accessible — no manual editing or prior video experience is needed. Just provide the AI with a few simple prompts about your desired topics and it will generate multiple short clips, transforming one video into a collection of fresh new angles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does an AI clip maker work?
AI clip makers are smart content repurposing tools that analyze long-form video transcripts, find key moments, and extract short, social-ready video clips. Kapwing's AI Clip Maker allows you to take the suggested clips and edit them in-studio with cleaner cuts, enhanced audio, custom subtitles, and more.
What types of videos can I use with Kapwing's AI Clip Maker?
Our AI Clip Maker gives the best results with long-form videos over 10 minutes. This feature was built with video podcasts, online webinars, and virtual interviews in mind. That said, feel free to use the tool with any type of video you have.
Can I edit my clips after they’ve been generated?
Definitely. Unlike other online AI clip generators, Kapwing's clip-making feature is just one part of a full video editing suite. If you’re not satisfied with your generated clips, edit them directly in-studio to trim video, add text overlays, or clean up the audio with the background noise remover.
Can I use Kapwing's AI Clip Maker for audio-only projects?
Yes, Kapwing's AI clip generator is built to repurpose video and audio projects. Create audiograms for your podcasts with eye-catching images, background music, and audio waveforms. Giving more visual elements and a stage for your audio to shine helps break through the noise of social content.
How do I resize a video clip?
Kapwing automatically resizes video clips to any size format you select. Alternatively, resize the clip manually by clicking and dragging the ends of the canvas, or enter custom dimensions for more precise control. Kapwing also has preset sizes for other social media platforms you can apply easily in one click.
Is there an AI tool that automatically extracts the best parts of a long video?
There are a range of AI tools online that can automatically extract the best parts of long videos. Kapwing's AI Clip Maker skillfully detects highlights in a long video and pulls out the best parts for you. Unlike other AI video cutters, Kapwing provides a full video editing suite to edit your short clips after selecting the ones you want to save.

What video files is Kapwing compatible with?
Kapwing's AI Clip Maker is compatible with all popular file types for video (MP4, AVI, MOV, etc.). Note that video exports in Kapwing will always be MP4 and audio files will always be MP3. We feel these files represent the best tradeoff between file size and quality.
Can I use AI to make Instagram Reels?
