Cutting a 90-minute podcast into clips by hand takes ages. That's the job the Shorts Generator in ClapClip AI is for. I'm Chris, I build it, and here's what it does and, just as important, what it sends where.
What it does
Give it a long video: a podcast, interview, stream or webinar. ClapClip transcribes the speech, scores each stretch for hook, flow, value and trend, and returns a ranked shortlist of clip candidates. You preview them and export the ones you want, as 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 clips with burned-in captions. It also suggests captions and hashtags for posting.
Where the data goes
Transcription and rendering run on your Windows PC, so the video itself isn't uploaded. The clip-selection step sends the transcript text to an AI service. If you're not allowed to share a transcript with a third party, don't run that step on it.
Scores are guesses
A score says which moments look strongest on paper. It can't promise views. Watch every clip, check that it makes sense out of context, and fix captions before you post.
Captions
Captions are word-highlighted (karaoke style) with emoji and keyword emphasis, burned into the video so they look the same on TikTok, Shorts and Reels. The text is editable before export.
There's no cap on how long the source video can be. Windows 10/11 only, free to install; some features use in-app purchases, so check in the app. clapclip.net/shorts
