Turning long videos into short, shareable content used to take hours, sometimes even days. Whether you're working with a 2 hour podcast or a long form interview, the process of watching, selecting, and editing clips is tedious and time consuming. Plus, you might miss key moments buried deep in the footage.
That’s exactly why I built Magic Clips an AI-powered tool designed to find the best moments in your long videos and turn them into short, vertical clips, ready for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
Why Repurposing Long Videos is So Hard
(Without AI)
Let’s be real. Manually clipping content is exhausting:
- 👀 You have to watch the entire video to find highlights.
- 💪 You might miss powerful moments buried deep in the footage.
- 🕜 The editing process takes hours or even days.
- 🙂 You have to constantly center faces or split and stack them for multi-speaker videos.
- 🤷♂️ And after all that work, the results still might not be optimized for social media.
Now imagine all that replaced with one upload and under 10 minutes of processing time.
Meet Magic Clips: AI-Powered Video Repurposing
Magic Clips is an AI tool that automates the entire process of clipping your long videos. Just upload your full length video, and Magic Clips will:
- Analyze the content for high impact moments.

This isn’t just fast, it’s intelligent. The AI is trained to identify emotional beats, speaker emphasis, viewer engagement signals, and even scene changes.
