AI Clip Maker

Describe what you need — get video clips instantly

Get Clips

Describe the clips you want — skip hours of manual editing

Any topic, any length, any aspect ratio. Just tell AI what you want.

Identify and edit clips with full creative control

Say goodbye to cutting, splitting, and manually arranging clips — creating clips is as easy as asking a chatbot.

Kapwing's AI Clip Maker scans your footage and pulls out exactly what you need, whether it's the best moments from one long video or specific segments across multiple files.

The AI stitches relevant sections together, trimming out the rest. Want a 30-second clip in 16:9 for YouTube? Just say so. Need five different highlights from a 2-hour recording? Done in minutes, not hours.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.

As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.

As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features

[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.

[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)

●Just the FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.

Can you try the AI Clip Maker for free?

Yes, Kapwing's AI Clip Maker is available to try for free. There are some limitations around features and video length for users of the Free plan, and a small watermark is applied.

Is there a watermark on exports?

If you are using Kapwing on a Free plan then all exports — including from the AI Clip Maker — will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro plan the watermark will be completely removed from your creations.

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 the 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 types of videos can I use with the 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.

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 is a chatbot, allowing you to generate specific clips based on the prompt you enter. After this, you can edit the suggested clips in Kapwing's studio if needed.

What video and audio files is Kapwing compatible with?

Kapwing's video editor works with all popular file types for video (MP4, AVI, MOV, FLV, and more) and audio (MP3, M4A, FLAC, WAV, WMA, AAC, OGG).

Can I use AI to make Instagram Reels?

Yes, you can use AI to either repurpose video as Instagram Reels or generate them from scratch. Kapwing's AI Reel Generator, for instance, quickly churns out Reels using an AI text-to-video generator. If you want to repurpose your from-scratch video content for Reels, this AI video cutter speeds up the process by pulling short clips and resizing them into the Instagram Reels aspect ratio.
