Long Form to Short Form Video Automation with Clipr
Clipr automates the conversion of long-form videos into short, vertical clips ready for social platforms. Upload a sermon, podcast, or lecture, and Clipr's AI identifies the most engaging moments, reformats them to 9:16, adds captions, and exports them for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.
How the Automation Works
Upload your long-form video to Clipr. The app's AI scans the entire video and detects moments likely to engage viewers: key statements, emotional beats, compelling visuals. Rather than manually marking timestamps, Clipr identifies these automatically. Once moments are found, the app crops them to vertical 9:16 format, syncs captions to speech, applies consistent branding, and generates multiple clip variations from a single source video. The entire process runs without manual intervention, turning a one-hour sermon or podcast into a library of ready-to-post clips in minutes.
Built for Long-Form Content Creators
Clipr started in the faith content space, where pastors and church social media teams face a common problem: how to repurpose Sunday sermons across social channels without spending hours on editing. The same automation works equally well for podcasters, lecturers, and other creators working with extended content. If you produce videos longer than 15 minutes and want to multiply their reach through short-form platforms, this workflow cuts editing time dramatically.
AI Moment Detection and Formatting
Traditional short-form creation means watching footage, selecting clips, reframing them, and adding captions. Clipr's AI handles the selection and framing in one step. The app automatically detects where the content peaks, crops to the vertical format that social platforms prefer, and syncs captions with timestamps. You're not waiting for the AI to process one clip at a time. Instead, you upload once and receive multiple variations, each ready to publish or refine further.
Direct Export and Customisation
Once Clipr generates clips, you can export them directly to TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts. Captions come with customisable styling, so clips align with your brand voice. The free tier includes a monthly clip allowance; the Pro plan unlocks unlimited clips and 4K export quality. Most creators find the automation saves 5 to 10 hours per week of manual editing work, freeing time for strategy and audience engagement instead.
When Automation Reaches Its Limits
Clipr excels at detecting high-energy moments and spoken content where emotional tone is clear. It's not a universal solution for every editing task. Highly stylised content, rapid-cut sequences, or videos where the best clips depend on narrative context may still benefit from a human eye. Many creators use Clipr to generate candidates, then curate or refine the top 5-10 clips for their channel. The automation handles the volume problem; you keep creative control.
