Select Tutorial as the video type for step-focused moment detection
20–40 seconds works for quick tips; 40–60 seconds suits step-by-step explanations
Screen recordings with voiceover work well — the AI reads the narration
Original format works best for YouTube desktop; switch to vertical for Shorts
Clip individual steps or tips rather than trying to summarize a full walkthrough

Works with tutorials, walkthroughs, screen recordings, and lessons
AI finds actionable steps, tips, and clear explanations
Cut 3 clips per tutorial — free
Share as standalone tips on Shorts, Reels, or TikTok
Manual recut to capture exactly the right teaching moment
What it’s used for
Software tutorial creator clipping the most actionable steps as standalone tips

How it works
1
Upload your tutorial MP4
Any recorded walkthrough, screen recording with voiceover, or instructional video up to 10 minutes and 500 MB.
2
AI finds the clearest steps and tips
Whisper transcribes the narration. GPT identifies moments where you explain a step clearly, share a useful tip, or demonstrate a specific technique — content that stands alone.
3
Get 3 clip suggestions
Each clip comes with a title, timestamp, and reason for selection. Review them and decide which to keep.
4
Download or recut
Download MP4 files ready to post. Use manual recut controls to adjust clip boundaries. Regenerate once to get a different selection from the same transcript.
Tutorial content has a natural advantage for short-form clips: it's structured around discrete steps, and each step tends to be self-contained. A viewer who watches a 30-second clip explaining one technique gets complete value without watching the full tutorial. That's why tutorial clips tend to perform well — they're inherently useful without surrounding context.
AI Clip Maker focuses on the spoken narration, not the visual content. That means it works well for screen recordings, slide presentations with voiceover, and talking-head tutorials where you explain while doing. The AI reads the transcript and finds moments where an explanation is clear, concise, and complete — skipping preamble, transitions, and filler.
The most effective tutorial clips on social platforms are 20–40 seconds for quick tips and 40–60 seconds for full technique demonstrations. Clips that open with the technique name or outcome — rather than "In this video, I'll show you..." — tend to hook viewers faster and hold attention longer on Shorts and Reels.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with screen recording tutorials?
Yes. The AI clips from the spoken narration, so screen recordings with voiceover work well.
My tutorial is very long — will it still work?
Up to 10 minutes is supported. For very long tutorials, consider splitting into logical sections and uploading each separately for the best clip selection.
Can I use this for coding tutorials?
Yes — the AI finds the clearest explanations and most useful tips in the narration, which works well for technical tutorials.
What clip length is best for tutorial clips?
20–40 seconds works well for quick tips. 40–60 seconds suits step-by-step explanations that need a little more room.
