Video to Shorts — Turn Any Long Video Into Viral Clips

One Long Video = Weeks of Content

You already create great long-form content — podcasts, interviews, courses, live streams, YouTube videos. Now multiply its reach by turning every video into short-form clips that perform on every social platform.

How It Works

Why Creators Use Klypse to Make Shorts

YouTube to Shorts

Long-form YouTube videos are a goldmine of short-form content, but most creators never tap into it because the editing takes too long. Klypse changes that. Paste any public YouTube URL and the AI transcribes the full video, scores every potential clip for hook strength and engagement, then delivers a set of vertical shorts — cropped, captioned, and ready to post on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or Reels.

Whether you're repurposing vlogs, tutorials, product reviews, or commentary videos, each clip is framed with face tracking so you're always in the center of the screen. Captions are word-synced and placed in a safe zone that doesn't overlap your face — exactly how a professional editor would do it.

• ✓Paste any YouTube URL — no need to download first
• ✓Face tracking keeps you centered in every clip
• ✓Hook scoring surfaces the moments most likely to go viral
• ✓Auto captions synced word-by-word to the audio

Podcast to Shorts

Podcasts are packed with quotable moments, hot takes, and stories that deserve a bigger audience. The problem is finding those moments in a 2-hour episode. Klypse solves this by transcribing the entire episode, then using AI to identify the segments with the strongest hooks — a surprising stat, a bold opinion, an emotional story.

For video podcasts, the AI tracks each speaker's face and dynamically reframes the shot so the active speaker is always centered. For audio-only podcasts uploaded with a static image, Klypse generates animated caption overlays that keep the viewer engaged. Either way, you get a set of 30–90 second clips that drive listeners back to the full episode.

Podcast growth strategies like clip-first distribution work best when you can produce clips consistently. Klypse makes that effortless — process every episode right after recording and have a week's worth of social content ready in minutes.

• ✓Multi-speaker detection frames the active speaker
• ✓Transcript-based clipping finds the most quotable moments
• ✓Animated captions for audio-only episodes
• ✓Clips sized for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Reels

Interview Clips

Interviews — whether for a podcast, a documentary, a news segment, or an internal team meeting — contain dozens of stand-alone moments that work as short-form content. A compelling answer, a surprising revelation, or a memorable quote can drive thousands of impressions when clipped and posted.

Klypse handles multi-speaker framing automatically. The AI detects who is speaking, tracks their face, and reframes the crop in real time — just like a virtual camera operator. No split screens needed. When the conversation shifts, the framing follows.

Interview clips are especially effective on LinkedIn, where professional audiences engage deeply with expert commentary. Upload your interview, let Klypse identify the highlights, and distribute clips across LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Reels.

• ✓Smart framing follows the active speaker
• ✓AI highlights the most quotable answers
• ✓Great for LinkedIn, YouTube, and social media

Course Clips

Online course creators sit on hours of high-value educational content that works perfectly as short-form previews. A 90-second clip showing a key insight or an actionable tip can drive more enrollments than a paid ad — because it demonstrates your expertise directly.

Klypse handles screen recordings, slide presentations, and talking- head lectures equally well. When the video contains slides or a screen share, the AI preserves the full screen layout instead of aggressively cropping. When you're on camera, face tracking keeps you centered. The result: teaser clips that look polished and professional.

• ✓Screen recording support — slides and UI stay readable
• ✓Talking-head framing with face tracking
• ✓AI picks the most insightful teaching moments
• ✓Captions make clips accessible and boost watch time

Live Stream Clips

Live streams are some of the longest content creators produce — 3, 4, even 8-hour sessions — and they're loaded with moments that audiences will never see because almost nobody watches a full VOD. Klypse processes the recording after the stream ends, identifies the highest-energy moments, and creates clips you can post the same day.

For gaming streamers, the AI detects high-action segments, clutch plays, and audience-reaction moments. For IRL streamers and event broadcasters, it focuses on conversation highlights and key announcements. Every clip is captioned and cropped to 9:16 so it's instantly ready for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or Instagram Reels.

• ✓Processes VODs up to 4 hours long
• ✓Detects high-energy and audience-reaction moments
• ✓Post clips the same day you streamed
• ✓Works for gaming, IRL, events, and webinars
