Announced July 3, 2026, the update gives the AI clipper eight content-type modes — sports, gaming, music, comedy, and more — each with its own editorial logic, so a match no longer gets cut like a podcast.

AI Video Cut, an AI video-clipping tool made by a company of the same name in Zug, Switzerland, launched eight purpose-built modes on July 3, 2026. Each mode applies its own editorial logic to the same core job — cutting a long video into short, captioned vertical clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts — so the tool cuts differently depending on the kind of footage you feed it.
The eight modes are Sports Highlights (calibrated for goals, finishes, and key plays), Viral Clips (high-energy short-form), Show Highlights (emotional beats and memorable exchanges), Funny Moments (jokes, reactions, comedic timing), Product Review (features, comparisons, key takeaways), Trailer (a three-part intro-hook-finale narrative), Music Highlights (best fragments of a performance), and Gaming Highlights (epic wins, fails, and tense moments). Most modes return up to 10 clips per upload; the Trailer mode instead assembles a single structured edit.
The timing is deliberate: the Sports Highlights mode went live in the middle of the football World Cup, when demand for match clips is at its peak. In the announcement, co-founder Alex Miller framed the problem the modes are meant to solve — that the difference between a clip that performs and one that gets scrolled past is usually about what the tool was optimizing for. Generic clippers treat every video the same, so a football match comes back looking like a podcast excerpt.
The modes sit on top of AI Video Cut's existing feature set: prompt-based cutting, automatic speaker face detection, editable transcripts, multi-language transcription, selectable caption styles, and export in 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, or original ratio. The tool is aimed at social agencies, brand content teams, social media managers, and creators working with third-party footage. It remains a clipper — it repurposes video you already have rather than generating net-new footage — and the modes are available now at aivideocut.com.
There are two ways to act on this today. First, ride the World Cup window itself. If you have match footage or reaction video, run it through AI Video Cut's Sports Highlights mode to get a clean, moment-accurate clip — then bring that clip into Kompozy to turn one cut into the whole content wave. Kompozy is a generation-and-publishing engine: it fans a single clip into a carousel that breaks the play down slide by slide, a quote graphic of the stat or the line that mattered, a blog recap for search, a newsletter section, and platform-native text posts, each written in your voice through the Persona Brief, then scheduled and published across nine platforms plus email and blog — not the short list a clipper reaches. AI Video Cut picks the right cut; Kompozy makes that cut land everywhere, in every format, on brand.
Second, treat the launch as its own content moment. Drop "AI Video Cut shipped eight content-type clipping modes" into Kompozy and fan it into a fast news explainer for your feeds — a thread, a quote graphic, a captioned Short, and a blog post — all governed by one Persona Brief so it sounds like you, published while the story is fresh. And on the weeks you have no match or stream to clip, Kompozy generates net-new HeyGen persona and avatar video from a script, so your feed keeps shipping when the archive runs dry. The clipper handles the highlight; Kompozy handles the rest of the calendar.
On July 3, 2026, AI Video Cut launched eight purpose-built clipping modes — Sports Highlights, Viral Clips, Show Highlights, Funny Moments, Product Review, Trailer, Music Highlights, and Gaming Highlights — each with its own editorial logic so the tool cuts differently depending on the type of footage.
It is a clipping mode calibrated for goals, finishes, and key plays rather than talking-head moments. AI Video Cut launched it during the football World Cup, when demand for match clips is highest, so creators posting highlights have a purpose-built cut for that footage.
It clips existing footage. AI Video Cut cuts a video you upload (or a YouTube link) into short clips shaped by the mode you pick — it does not generate net-new avatar or talking-head video from a script. For generated video plus images, carousels, blogs, and newsletters from the same source, you pair it with a generation engine like Kompozy.
