AI clipping is most useful when it reduces review time without taking editorial control away. ClipLab creates ranked suggestions from a real transcript, then lets you refine the cut and captions.

Upload the original recording

Use the highest-quality master you have. Clear dialogue improves transcription, caption timing and the quality of suggested hooks.

Rank moments from the transcript

ClipLab scores candidate sections for hook strength, clarity, standalone value and likely retention. A ranked suggestion is a starting point—not a promise of virality.

Create virtual camera changes

For wide podcast footage, AI-assisted reframing can alternate crop positions and punch-ins around speaker turns and pauses. The result feels closer to a multi-camera edit while remaining derived from the original frame.

Edit captions before export

Correct names and specialist terms, split long caption blocks, select a readable style and keep text inside platform-safe areas. Export the chosen moment through the same MP4 pipeline as Motion Studio.
