Create YouTube Shorts from Existing Video in Seconds using AI: A Step-by-Step Guide
After months of toiling and putting together this feature, it's finally live! I'm announcing the videos to shorts feature that will turn full videos into smaller short videos that have the potential to go viral. This feature, called the AI video clipper, uses AI to clip the short videos from the entire video without the need for any video editing software.
For a typical 9-minute video, the AI video clipper can identify 3 to 5 viral short videos. Currently, it's in beta and already live on Snappy. It supports up to 30 minutes of video, and soon it will be scaled to 60 minutes.
How to Use the AI Video Clipper
To use the AI video clipper, follow these simple steps:
- Upload your video file. Ensure your subject is in the middle of the screen for optimal results.
- Select the appropriate settings for low or high background noise.
- Choose the caption position and add a watermark if desired.
- Click on "Process Video" to start the AI clipping process.
Once the processing is complete, the AI video clipper will automatically edit the video, identify top viral sections, add subtitles, face crop if necessary, and more. Processing time may vary based on the length of the video, but a video around 18 minutes long typically takes around 15 minutes and generates around 10 viral shots.
What to Expect from the AI Video Clipper
The number of viral shots generated depends on the actual content of the video. If the video contains significant viral content, more shots will be generated. The AI video clipper ensures that the most important bits of the short videos are cropped and added, along with auto-generated subtitles and watermarks.
Let's take a look at some examples of videos processed using the AI video clipper. In the first example, Mr. Beast visited the Jogan podcast. The initial video took around 20 minutes to generate 6 shots, while the second video took around 21-22 minutes to generate 5 shots.
Video Examples
Here are some of the shots generated from the initial video:
- Shot 1: 33 seconds long, with a watermark, auto subtitles, and cropped content
- Shot 2: 52 seconds long, with a watermark, auto subtitles, and cropped content
- Shot 3: 1 minute long, with a watermark, auto subtitles, and cropped content
Similar shots were generated for the second video as well. The AI video clipper makes it easy to create YouTube shorts without the need for extensive editing. Simply upload your video, select the desired settings, and let the AI do the rest.
Conclusion
Creating YouTube shorts from existing videos has never been easier thanks to the AI video clipper. With its ability to automatically edit and extract the most viral shots from a video, content creators can save time and effort while maximizing the potential for their videos to go viral. Try it out and see the results for yourself!
