How it works
1
Upload your interview recording
Upload any MP4 interview — one-on-one conversations, panel formats, Q&A sessions, or longer-form conversations. Up to 10 minutes and 500 MB per file.
2
AI finds the strongest answers and quotable moments
Whisper transcribes the full conversation. GPT reads the complete transcript and identifies the moments with the highest standalone value: strong direct answers, emotional peaks, surprising statements, and clearly quotable lines.
3
Review clips with titles and reasons
Each clip comes with a title, a quality score, and the AI's explanation for why it selected that moment — so you can understand the reasoning and decide whether each clip works for your use case.
4
Export for any platform
Download in original aspect ratio for YouTube and LinkedIn, or vertical 9:16 for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok. Add burned-in captions for mobile-first platforms where many viewers watch without sound.
Interviews contain some of the richest short-form content available — but finding the best moments requires listening to the whole thing, which most editors don't have time to do for every recording. A 45-minute guest interview typically has three to five moments that could stand alone as clips: a surprising answer, a strong opinion, a personal story with a clear arc, or a genuinely quotable line. The problem is not that those moments are rare — it's that finding them requires attention at a scale that doesn't fit most content workflows.
AI Clip Maker shortcircuits that process. It transcribes the interview and has the AI read the full conversation to find the moments where the content density is highest — where a guest says something specific, self-contained, and strong enough to hold attention without needing the surrounding context. It does not look for moments that are technically interesting; it looks for moments that communicate something clearly on their own.
Interview clips work across every major platform: on LinkedIn as thought leadership, on YouTube Shorts as discovery content, on TikTok as educational or personal brand content, and on Instagram Reels as expert positioning. A single interview can produce clips for all four platforms from one upload — original format for desktop-first platforms, vertical 9:16 with captions for mobile-first ones.
Frequently asked questions
What interview formats work best?
One-on-one interviews, panel discussions, founder stories, creator Q&As, customer testimonials — any MP4 recording where people are talking works well. Clearer audio produces better transcripts and better clips.
Can I choose which answers get clipped?
The AI selects automatically based on what it reads in the transcript. You can use the manual recut controls to adjust timing, and regenerate once to get a different selection from the same interview.
Does it work for long-form interview recordings?
Yes — up to 10 minutes per upload. The AI reads the full transcript and selects the moments most likely to perform as short-form clips without you needing to skim the recording first.
What if the interview has background noise or crosstalk?
Whisper transcription handles most real-world interview recordings well, including some background noise and overlapping speech. Clips from sections with clearer audio will have more accurate transcripts.
Can I use this for recorded customer testimonial interviews?
Yes — customer testimonials often contain strong, specific, quotable moments. Upload the recording and the AI will find the most compelling sections. Do not upload recordings with sensitive personal information.
