Turn a long video into a short video, automatically
An hour-long talk, a recorded podcast, a two-hour livestream: the content is good, but almost nobody watches it to the end. The missing work is always the same — finding the five minutes worth watching and dropping the rest. It takes hours, and it is exactly what AI video montage does for you.
The tool listens to the entire video, spots the passages that actually carry something, then stitches them back together in order as one condensed video. You do not get a list of moments to assemble: you get a finished edit, ready to publish.
What the tool produces
How to turn a long video into a short video in 3 steps
Import the long video
Drop your file, or paste the link of an online video. Talk, recorded podcast, livestream, webinar: the longer the source, the more the edit has to work with.
Choose the length you want
Leave it on Auto for a length that fits your video, or aim for 1, 2 or 5 minutes depending on where it will be published.
Get the finished edit
You get a single video, already assembled and ready to publish — and you can still reframe or caption it afterwards.
Why edit your video with AI
The cuts are decided by AI
AI follows what is being said from start to finish, spots the passages that carry information or emotion, and drops the padding, the repeats and the dead air.
The assembly is done for you
The selected passages are stitched back together in order, with clean cuts. You get a finished video, not a list of timestamps to edit yourself.
You decide the length
Auto fits your source; otherwise you set a target length and the edit stays as close to it as possible, without ever cutting mid-sentence.
Your original format is kept
The video keeps its aspect ratio and its resolution. Need a vertical or captioned version? Chain into the next tool without re-uploading the file.
When to condense a long video
A conference or webinar replay
An hour of presentation is rarely watched in full. The edit turns it into the short version that actually circulates — the one shared internally or featured on a page.
A recorded podcast or an interview
Keep the best answers and cut the follow-ups, the hesitations and the off-topic stretches. To go further, AI Clips splits the same source into several vertical excerpts.
A livestream or a gaming session
Hours of live footage become a few minutes of best-of: this is the format that brings people back to the channel between two streams.
A recorded course or tutorial
The condensed version works as a recap: the essentials without rewatching the full walkthrough. Then add animated subtitles to make it readable with the sound off.

AI video montage — frequently asked questions
How do I turn a long video into a short video?
Import the video, choose the length you want, then start the edit: AI selects the passages worth keeping and assembles them into one short video, with nothing to do on your side.
How does the AI choose what to keep?
It analyses what is said across the whole runtime and keeps what moves the point forward: strong answers, key explanations, turning points. Silences, digressions and repeats are dropped.
How long will the final video be?
On Auto, roughly a tenth of the original runtime — long enough to keep the thread, short enough to be watched to the end. You can also aim for 1, 2 or 5 minutes.
Does the edit keep the original order?
Yes. The kept excerpts stay in chronological order, so the argument still makes sense and nothing feels rearranged.
Can I then reframe the result for TikTok or Reels?
Yes. The edit comes out in your original aspect ratio; from the result screen you can send it in one click to vertical reframing or to animated subtitles, without re-uploading the file.
How long a video can I import?
This tool is built for long videos — that is its raw material. If your file goes beyond your plan's limit, the screen tells you before processing starts, never after.
Which video formats are supported?
MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV and WebM as input. The edit is rendered as MP4, which plays everywhere.
