AI Clip Maker for Long Videos
Drop in a podcast, livestream, webinar or class. The Pixtale Edits AI clip maker finds the moments worth posting and turns them into vertical clips for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok, then lets you finish each one on a real timeline.
How the AI clip maker works
- Add your long video. Open an MP4, MOV or WEBM file. It stays in your browser; nothing is uploaded to our servers.
- AI finds the moments. The audio energy of the whole recording is measured, then AI reviews the picture to choose, name and rank the best stretches, with a short reason for each. You can also type a moment you remember, such as “the part about pricing”, and jump to it.
- Pick a layout. Vertical 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, plus split and trio layouts for two or three speakers.
- Polish the clip. Trim on the timeline, add auto captions, music, sound effects and your logo, and adjust framing with keyframes.
- Export. Download the finished clip, made on your own device.
Try the AI clip maker on your own video
Use every tool free on videos up to 15 minutes, with a watermarked preview. No credit card needed.
Start freeWhat makes it different
- A real editor, not just a list of clips. Many AI clipping tools hand you finished clips and little control. Here every clip opens on a timeline with per-part framing, keyframes, layers, masks, music and sound effects.
- Layouts for conversations. Split and trio layouts keep each speaker in frame when the conversation moves between hosts and guests.
- Unlimited clips per video. A long video counts once against your monthly minutes, however many clips you cut from it.
- Your video stays on your device. Editing and export happen in the browser, so you don’t wait for an upload and your raw footage isn’t stored by us.
- Auto captions. Generate captions, edit any line, and style them for short-form video.
Who it is for
- Podcasters turning one episode into a week of Reels and Shorts.
- Streamers and gamers cutting highlights from long sessions.
- Coaches, teachers and course creators sharing short lessons from classes and webinars.
- Agencies and social media managers repurposing client videos into short clips (Studio includes 3 team seats).

FAQ
What is an AI clip maker?
An AI clip maker watches a long video for you, picks the stretches worth posting and turns them into short clips. Pixtale Edits does this and then gives you a full timeline editor to finish each clip.
Is this AI clip maker free?
You can use the full editor free on videos up to 15 minutes, with a watermarked preview. Exporting clips without a watermark starts with the Creator plan at $12 a month.
How does the AI pick the clips?
It measures the energy of the audio across the whole video, then AI looks at frames to choose, name and explain the best clips. You can also describe a moment, and AI will look for it.
How many clips can I make from one video?
As many as you like. Each long video counts once against your monthly minutes, and clips cut from it are unlimited.
Do I have to upload my video to a server?
No. Your video is opened and edited inside your browser, and exports are made on your own device. For auto captions, only the audio is sent to an AI speech-to-text service.
Which video files work?
MP4, MOV and WEBM. Landscape (16:9) recordings give the most framing options, and MP4 with H.264 is the most compatible.
Can it make clips for two or three speakers?
Yes. Split and trio layouts keep each speaker in frame, and you can change the framing for each part of a clip.
