Repurpose Long Videos into Engaging Short Clips with AI video clipping
Pull out the best parts of any video and turn them into clips people actually watch—fast, clean, and easy.
Turn Hours of Footage into Shareable Highlights—Effortlessly
You’ve got hours of valuable video content. Webinars, interviews, keynotes, trainings. But let’s be honest—most people don’t sit through the whole thing. And you probably don’t have time to rewatch, trim, and cut it all down by hand.
That’s where clipping helps. With PlayPlay AI video clipping, you can quickly pull out the moments that matter most—those insightful quotes, standout reactions, or key takeaways—and turn them into short, watchable clips. No need to scroll through the whole timeline or mess around with editing software. The tool helps you spot the highlights and share them fast with the AI clip feature.
How to Use AI Video Clipping in PlayPlay

Import your webinar, interview, or event recording—no manual trimming needed.
2
Let AI Detect Key Moments
PlayPlay’s AI scans your video and suggests the most engaging highlights automatically for your clip.

Customize Your Clips
Use the online editor tool to adjust the selection, trim clip, and cut unnecessary parts. Add text, branding, or subtitles for a polished look so you can share it on social media.
4
Export & Share Instantly
Download your clips in the perfect format for social media, internal comms, or marketing campaigns and share it online.
Get More Mileage from Every Video
Long-form videos are full of great material—you just need a way to reuse it without starting from scratch. With AI Clipping, you can repurpose one recording into multiple pieces of content. A single webinar might give you five or six strong moments to share on LinkedIn or use in a newsletter. These shorter clips help you extend the life of your content and get it in front of more people—wherever they are.
Let the Tool Do the First Pass
Finding the best parts of a long video takes time. That’s why the clipping tool automatically scans the footage and suggests the moments most likely to stand out—based on speech, pauses, and content flow. It won’t replace your voice or your eye for what matters—but it gives you a head start. You can still review, tweak, and make it your own. But the heavy lifting? That’s already done for you.
Resize for Any Platform in Seconds
Once your clips are ready, it’s easy to get them formatted for wherever they’re going. Need a square version for Instagram? Vertical for TikTok? Landscape for YouTube? You can resize your video right inside PlayPlay—no re-editing, no starting over. It’s a small thing that makes a big difference when you’re trying to get content out quickly—and still want it to look good on every screen.
Repurpose Your Videos with AI-Powered Clipping
Stop wasting time on manual editing. Let AI cut, trim, and edit your content to get the best moments from your videos in minutes.
