Cut a long video into short clips that stay true
Five to ten short clips from one long video in about 20 minutes — each one honest on its own.
What you need
- One long video you already have (a tour, a talk, a walk-through)
- An AI clipping tool
- Ten minutes to watch the suggestions
Steps
Upload one long video
A room tour, a workshop, a long explanation — the tool finds the moments that work as short clips.
Read the scores, then ignore them
The machine scores what grabs attention. You decide what is true and useful.
Apply one rule
A clip must still be true without the rest of the video. If cutting it changes the meaning, delete it.
Weak“The room is perfect” (cut before “after we fixed the window”).
Better“We fixed the window — now the room is quiet at night.”
Add captions and one sentence of context
Most people watch without sound. One line under the clip says where it comes from.
Post over a week, not in one day
One clip a day keeps you visible; ten at once disappear together.
The full prompt
Copy it into any AI chat assistant and fill in the brackets.
You help me choose short clips from a long video. What the video is: [e.g. a 20-minute tour of our renovated rooms] The clip suggestions I got (paste the transcript lines with times): [paste] For each suggestion, answer: 1) Is it still true without the rest of the video? (yes/no + why) 2) A caption of max 15 words, no exaggeration. 3) One line of context to post under it. Keep only the clips with 'yes'. Start with the first suggestion.
What you end up with
A week of short clips from one recording — each one honest out of context, captioned and ready to post.
Common mistakes
- Posting the clip with the highest score even when it is misleading on its own.
- No captions — most viewers have the sound off.
- Publishing all clips on the same day.
