Magic Clips - AI Auto-Clipping for Long to Short Videos

AI auto-clipping is the process of using artificial intelligence to automatically extract short, engaging clips from long-form videos. Instead of manually scrubbing through hours of footage to find the best moments, an AI auto-clipper analyzes your content and identifies the most viral-worthy segments automatically.

Magic Clips is Bytecap's AI auto-clipper built into our AI video editor. It analyzes every frame of your video and uses multiple detection methods to identify highlights:

• Scene detection: Identifies camera cuts, transitions, and visual changes
• Face detection & tracking: Keeps speakers centered during auto-framing for short-form platforms
• Highlight extraction: Uses engagement signals (emotion, intensity, visual interest) to find viral moments
• Silence detection: Works on silent video or videos with only background audio—no dialogue required

Magic Clips automatically resizes clips to 9:16 vertical format for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. You can extract 10 short clips from a single long video in minutes.

Manual video clipping is one of the most time-consuming editing tasks. To extract clips from a 60-minute podcast or stream, you need to: watch the entire video, identify interesting moments (takes 30-40 minutes), scrub to exact timestamps, cut the clip, add captions, resize to vertical format, and export separately. A single 60-minute video produces 5-10 clips in 4-6 hours of work.

Creators with large content libraries (podcasters posting weekly, streamers uploading daily) can't manually clip everything. Either they skip clipping entirely (missing 80% of potential audience), or they hire editors ($500-2000+ per project) to do clipping manually. Both options are unsustainable.

Magic Clips solves this by automating the entire clipping workflow. Upload a long video, select your genre/niche, and the AI automatically extracts 10 clips in minutes. Face detection keeps speakers centered. Auto-resizing handles vertical formatting. Captions are added automatically. You review and publish—that's it.
