AI YouTube Clipper: Auto Create Short YT Clips

A YouTube clipper is a digital tool that adopts artificial intelligence technology to automatically identify and extract specific parts of a YouTube video based on your requirements, such as highlights, key moments and more. Then, it will create one or several YouTube short clips for you.

The main difference between an AI YouTube clipper and a YouTube clipper is that the former boasts an automatic workflow that needs little manual editing, while the latter requires manual clip finding, extraction and editing.

An AI YouTube clipper, like Fotor, usually analyzes video content to identify relevant moments, suggest clip boundaries and create short-form videos. Besides, Fotor’s AI YouTube clip maker can also generate captions, reframe the video for vertical viewing and let you refine the result through an AI video editor.

A good YouTube clip grabs viewers' attention in the first few seconds and keeps them watching with engaging, relevant content. It should focus on the following metrics:

Complete Context: The core information should be included to help viewers understand your points without watching the full video.

Clear Payoff: A clear conclusion or result should be shown to the viewers.

Natural Pacing: No awkward cuts should be presented in the short clip.

Good Framing: The main subject needs to be clearly shown on the screen if you want to reframe the video into a vertical one.

Accurate Captions: The captions should be consistent with the conversations or audio.

Some AI clipping tools generate captions and automatically reframe horizontal footage for vertical formats. The results should still be reviewed to check subtitle accuracy, text placement, and whether the important subjects remain visible.

You can clip all kinds of YouTube videos with Fotor, including podcasts, interviews, tutorials, commentary, livestreams, gaming videos, product ads, UGC videos and more.

For input formats, Fotor supports MP4, WEBM, MOV, AVI, MKV, FLV and more.

Usually, no. Unless you have the copyright to these YouTube videos or get written consent from the creators, you may face several legal consequences for monetizing or reposting clips made from other YouTube videos.

It is strongly advised not to do that, even if you include the creator’s information and the original video link, since you might still violate local intellectual property laws. So, please refer to the relevant laws and regulations carefully before doing so.
