Prompt- and mode-based AI clipper that cuts long video into short, captioned clips tuned to the content type.

AI Video Cut is an AI video-clipping tool that takes a long-form video — a match, a stream, a podcast, a product demo — and cuts it into short, captioned clips sized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. It is made by a company of the same name based in Zug, Switzerland. You upload a file or paste a YouTube link, pick how you want it cut, and it returns a set of ready-to-post vertical clips with transcripts and caption styling.
What makes it different from a generic clipper is that the cutting is driven by intent, not just a single "find the good bits" pass. You can steer it with text prompts, and in July 2026 the company shipped eight purpose-built modes — Sports Highlights, Viral Clips, Show Highlights, Funny Moments, Product Review, Trailer, Music Highlights, and Gaming Highlights — each with its own editorial logic. The Sports Highlights mode, for instance, is calibrated for goals, finishes, and key plays rather than treating a football match like a podcast excerpt. Most modes return up to 10 clips per upload; the Trailer mode instead builds a single three-part narrative (intro, hook, finale).
Practically, the workflow leans on a few reliable pieces: automatic speaker face detection that keeps the subject in frame, multi-language transcription (roughly 100 languages), editable transcripts so you can trim moments out, several caption styles, aspect-ratio export in 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, or the original, and hashtag suggestions. There is a free tier that adds a watermark and caps upload minutes, with low-cost paid plans (starting around $10/month billed yearly) that remove the watermark and raise the length and storage limits — check the live pricing page, as tiers change.
The honest scope: AI Video Cut is a clipper. It repurposes footage you already have — it does not film for you, generate net-new talking-head or avatar video from a script, or write blogs and newsletters, and it publishes to a narrower set of destinations than a full distribution engine. Its edge is the mode system: picking the right editorial logic for the kind of video you fed it.
AI Video Cut is a smart front end for one input: video you already recorded. Its mode system means the cut you get back is genuinely shaped for the content — a sports clip that lands on the goal, a gaming clip that lands on the win. But a clip is a single asset, and the reach of AI Video Cut stops at export plus a short list of social destinations. Kompozy is where one clip becomes a content unit and reaches everywhere. Take the best clip AI Video Cut hands you and run it through Kompozy to fan that one moment into a carousel that breaks the play down slide by slide, a quote graphic of the line or stat that mattered, a blog recap for search, a newsletter section, and platform-native text posts — every one written in your voice through the Persona Brief, then scheduled and published across nine platforms plus email and blog, not just three.
The other half is what AI Video Cut structurally cannot do: generate content on a week you didn't film. Because it only repurposes existing footage, a slow week leaves it with nothing to cut. Kompozy generates net-new video AI Video Cut can't — HeyGen persona and avatar shorts from a script, brand-exact HyperFrames compositions, VFX hooks — all driven by a consistent AI Influencer persona, so your feed keeps shipping between uploads. Use AI Video Cut to mine your archive into sharp, mode-matched clips; use Kompozy to turn each clip into branded multi-format content and to fill the gaps when the archive runs dry.

It clips existing footage. AI Video Cut analyzes a video you upload and cuts the best segments from it — it does not generate net-new avatar or talking-head video from a script. For generated persona or avatar shorts, you need a generation engine like Kompozy.
It has a free tier that adds a watermark and caps upload minutes, plus low-cost paid plans starting around $10/month billed yearly that remove the watermark and raise the video-length and storage limits. Because tiers change, confirm current numbers on the official pricing page before subscribing.
AI Video Cut exports clips and publishes to a limited set of destinations. To reach all nine platforms and turn one clip into multiple formats, bring the export into Kompozy — it adds branded captions, fans the clip into carousels, quote cards, blogs, and posts in your voice, and schedules and publishes across TikTok, Reels, Shorts, LinkedIn, X, and more.
