Clips AI

Clips AI is a Python library for cutting long videos into short clips. Developers install it and call it from their own code, so it fits into existing pipelines rather than living in a separate editor.

The Clips AI clipping tool is an AI video editor aimed at content marketing teams who want social posts without scrubbing through hours of footage.

Its clipping algorithm reads a video's transcript and picks out segments to turn into clips.

That approach suits audio-centric, narrative-based material such as podcasts, interviews, speeches and sermons.

Webinars and vlogs are also fair game.

Footage that depends mostly on visuals, with little speech, is a poor match, since the transcript drives everything.

A second algorithm handles resizing.

It reframes the video to follow whoever is speaking at the moment and exports it in different aspect ratios, which helps when the same recording has to work on several social platforms.

The library is listed among open source AI models and speech-to-text tools.

You need to be comfortable writing Python, because Clips AI is a code package rather than a point-and-click app.
