How to convert a long video to a short video with AI
Frequently asked questions
Any video editor can be used to split a long video into multiple short clips. With AI, however, the process is significantly easier and faster. Instead of manually watching hours of footage, flagging potential parts that can be repurposed, and trying to decide the best way to cut the original file can be difficult work, especially when you have multiple projects or lengthy videos (or both).
AI can automatically sort through the footage, evaluate its contents, and trim the clip according to what it deems is the highlight of the original video or into multiple segments.
- AI identifies key moments in a long video using a combination of techniques from computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning.
Use a video editor that will render your videos in their original quality or a good resolution.
Many free video editors reduce the quality of your output when sharing or downloading, especially to maintain a lower file size. Look for a video editor that keeps the resolution of the original clip or saves your work in high-quality (at least 1080p, minimum).
