How it works

One long video in, several publishable shorts out.

1

Upload your video

Drop in an MP4, MOV or WebM up to 500MB — a podcast episode, an interview, a stream recording, a long-form upload.

2

Review suggested clips

The audio is transcribed and analysed for self-contained moments. You get segments with timestamps and can adjust the trim points.

3

Render and publish

Pick the shape, caption style and audio, then render. Clips come back captioned and watermark-free.

The best part of your video is buried in it

A forty-minute podcast usually contains three or four genuinely great sixty-second moments. The problem is finding them. Scrubbing back through your own footage hunting for the good bit is slow, and it's the reason most long-form creators never get around to posting shorts at all.

VdoZen's clipper does the hunting. Upload the video and the speech is transcribed, then analysed for moments that stand on their own — a clean hook, a complete thought, a line that lands without needing the previous ten minutes of context. You get those back as suggested clips with timestamps.

You stay in control of the cut. The suggestions are a starting point. You can move the trim points, skip the ones that don't work, and render only what you actually want. Nothing is published automatically and nothing is decided for you.

Built for vertical from the start

Cutting a horizontal video into a vertical short usually means either black bars or a badly cropped frame with someone's head cut off. Clips are reframed to the shape you pick rather than naively centre-cropped, so the subject stays in frame when the aspect ratio changes.

Every clip can carry captions burned directly into the video, chosen from 29 styles — the same caption engine the rest of VdoZen uses. That matters for shorts specifically, where most viewing happens on mute and an uncaptioned clip gets scrolled past.

When your footage has little speech

Transcript-based detection needs dialogue to work with. If your video is mostly music, gameplay or b-roll, there's no speech to analyse and the suggestions get thin. Two options for that case:

  • Analyse the frames instead — for a small extra token cost, the visual content is examined directly rather than the transcript.
  • Guide it yourself — describe what you're looking for and steer the selection manually, at no extra cost.

You're told which situation you're in before spending anything, rather than paying for an analysis that was never going to find much.

Upload-only, on purpose

The clipper works from video files you upload. It doesn't fetch videos from links to other platforms — that's a deliberate choice, not a missing feature. Pulling down arbitrary third-party videos puts both you and us on the wrong side of platform terms and copyright, and we'd rather not build a tool whose main use is taking other people's work.

Upload footage you own or have the rights to use, and the clipper will find what's good in it.

What you get for free

Every new account starts with 100 tokens — no credit card, no trial timer. That's enough to generate a short video, caption a clip, or run a batch of voiceovers and see the real output quality before spending anything.

You also get a referral code you can share. When someone redeems it, you both get the Starter tier with 400 tokens — more voice actors, more caption styles, and the higher-quality generation modes. It's a genuine two-way reward, not a discount code.

Tokens are shared across every tool, so the same balance covers video generation, captions, clipping, voiceovers and SEO. Nothing you export carries a watermark on any plan, free included.

Frequently asked questions

Is the video clipper free?

Yes — new accounts get 100 free tokens with no credit card. Analysing a video and rendering a clip costs a small number of tokens, so you can run a full clip and judge the output before spending anything.

Do the clips have a watermark?

No. Clips you export have no watermark on any plan, including the free tier — what you download is ready to publish.

How does it choose the clips?

Your video's audio is transcribed, then the transcript is analysed for self-contained moments — a strong hook, a complete thought, a punchline. You get suggested segments with timestamps, and you decide which ones to actually render.

Can I adjust the suggested clips?

Yes. The suggestions are a starting point, not a final cut. You can shift the trim points before rendering, and you choose the output shape, caption style and whether to keep the original audio.

What if my video has very little speech?

Transcript-based detection needs speech to work with. For sparse-dialogue footage you can pay a small extra cost to analyse the actual frames instead, or describe what you're looking for and guide the selection yourself at no extra cost.

What videos can I upload?

MP4, MOV and WebM files up to 500MB. Upload footage you own or have the rights to use — the clipper works from files you provide, not from links to other people's videos.
