Clip my long video: highlight clips from a podcast, talk or webinar

Turn a long video you own into 3, 5 or 8 vertical or square clips, each framed on the speaker, with word-by-word captions and a hook title.

Give ViralDub a long video of people talking (a podcast, a talk, an interview or a webinar recording) and it cuts the moments that work on their own into short clips for TikTok, Reels, Shorts or a feed.

How to start

  • In the Studio, choose Create, then "Clip my long video".
  • Paste a link to the video (YouTube, for example) or upload the file (MP4 or MOV, up to 600 MB).
  • If you like, say what the clips should be about, for example "the pricing discussion" or "advice for first-time founders".
  • Choose how many clips (3, 5 or 8), how long each one should be (30 seconds to a minute and a half, or a custom length up to 3 minutes), and the shape: vertical for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or square for a feed.
  • Check the cost and the time, then press Make clips. You can close the page: the clips wait in your Library and we email you when they're ready.

What ViralDub does

  • Listens to every word: the speech is transcribed on our servers, word by word, in the language spoken in the video.
  • Chooses the moments: each clip opens on a strong line, makes sense without the rest of the video and ends on a payoff, never mid-sentence. Clips don't overlap, and they come from across the whole video.
  • Frames the speaker: a landscape video is cropped to the clip's shape around the person speaking.
  • Adds captions: two or three words at a time, with the word being spoken highlighted, and a short hook title for the first seconds.
  • Sets the sound: each clip's loudness is set to the level social platforms play at.

What you get

A page with every clip: a player, its title, why it was chosen, where it comes from in the original, and a download button for each one.

Good to know

  • Clipping is included on paid plans.
  • Use only videos you own or have the right to use, such as your own podcast, talk or webinar.
  • The video needs clear speech. A video with only music, or very little talking, can't be clipped.
  • From a link, the first 90 minutes of the video are used.
  • You pay for the minutes of clips you get. If ViralDub finds fewer moments that stand on their own than you asked for, the clips it couldn't make aren't charged (apart from the job's minimum). If no clip can be made, all your credits come back.
