// GLOSSARY · VIRAL CLIP DETECTION

Viral clip detection

An algorithm that scans a long-form video and predicts which short segments are most likely to perform as standalone shorts.

Viral clip detection analyzes a source video (podcast, webinar, long-form YouTube) and scores segments on signals like speaker energy, topic novelty, quotable lines, question-answer structure, and audience engagement cues. The output is a ranked list of 30–90 second clip candidates.
