Cliphi watches the whole video, groups its best moments by theme, and stitches each theme into a supercut you can post as-is. ## How it works 1. **Paste your video link** A YouTube video, livestream VOD, or podcast of five minutes or more. Longer videos give the AI more moments to choose from. 2. **AI curates the moments** It reads the full transcript, scores every beat, and groups the winners into themed ideas: the funniest moments, the sharpest takes, the story highlights. 3. **Pick, customize, render** Choose the idea you like, restyle the captions and look to match your brand, and render a finished compilation ready for any platform. ## Why Cliphi - **Themed, not random** A good compilation has a spine. Cliphi groups moments that belong together, so you get 'every time the guest broke character', not a shuffle of unrelated clips. - **The whole video, actually watched** No skimming. The AI reads every minute of the transcript before choosing, which is how it finds the quiet gem at minute 47 that a human editor skips past. - **Yours to shape** Every supercut is a starting point. Swap moments in or out, trim the cuts, restyle captions, and render when it feels right. Nothing posts until you say so. ## Compilations are the highest-leverage format you're not making Compilation channels built entire audiences on other people's streams for one reason: a well-cut sequence of best moments out-performs almost any single clip. The format works because it keeps paying off; every fifteen seconds the viewer gets another peak, so retention stays high from the first moment to the last. The reason most creators never make them is purely cost. Finding eight great moments in a two-hour video means watching the two hours, and stitching them means an editing session. Cliphi does the watching and the stitching, and hands you the editorial call. You get several themed ideas per video, each already assembled in order. The AI's job is the search; your job is taste. Approve the idea that fits your channel, cut anything that drags, and render. ## One long video, many shapes A supercut is the wide-format sibling of the vertical clip. The same livestream that yields a highlight compilation for YouTube also holds a dozen vertical moments for Shorts and TikTok, and Cliphi cuts both from a single processing run. Turn the stream into short clips with the \[YouTube livestream converter\]\(/tools/youtube-livestream-to-tiktok\), caption them with the \[auto subtitle generator\]\(/tools/auto-subtitle-generator\), and let the supercut carry the long-form side. Podcasters get particular mileage here: an episode's best exchanges, compiled, is the trailer your next episode wants. And because your video stays processed, coming back next week for a differently themed cut takes minutes, not another editing night. One practical note on length: give the AI at least five minutes of source video, and ideally much more. Compilations live off abundance. A two-hour stream might yield three strong themed cuts plus a dozen leftover moments worth posting on their own, while a six-minute video usually holds exactly one good sequence. If your library skews long, supercuts are the fastest way to finally make that back catalog earn its keep. ## FAQ ### How long does the source video need to be? At least five minutes. Compilations need a pool of moments to choose from, and shorter videos simply don't have enough peaks to compile. ### How does the AI decide what makes the cut? It reads the full transcript and scores moments for energy, payoff, and how well they stand alone, then groups the winners by theme so each supercut tells one coherent story. ### Can I change what's in the compilation? Yes. Each supercut idea shows its moments before anything renders. Swap moments, trim their edges, reorder them, and restyle the captions until it's yours. ### What formats can I render? Vertical for Shorts, TikTok, and Reels, square for feeds, or widescreen for YouTube. Captions, titles, and your brand style apply in every format. ### What does it cost? Processing uses credits based on video length, and rendering the finished supercut is billed by the second, the same as any Cliphi clip.
