Auto Clip Extractor - Find Viral Moments in Any Video | Fairmont AI

Upload any video or paste a URL. AI analyzes content and automatically creates short clips optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

The Auto Clip Extractor is an AI-powered tool that automatically finds the most engaging moments inside any long-form video and turns them into short, shareable clips — no editing skills required. Paste a YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or X video URL up to 1 hour long, and the AI transcribes the audio, reads the full context, and surfaces the three to five segments most likely to stop the scroll. Optionally dub the extracted clips into French using ElevenLabs AI voices. You preview each clip before selecting it, then download the ones you want as clean MP4 files. New accounts receive 15 free credits — enough to analyze several videos right away.

How to Extract Viral Clips from Any Video

  1. Copy the video URL: Find any long-form video on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or X. Copy its URL from the address bar or the share button.
  2. Paste it into the tool: Paste the URL into the input field above and click 'Find Best Clips'. The tool downloads the video and begins AI analysis.
  3. AI transcribes and analyzes: The audio is transcribed in full. GPT then reads the transcript and identifies the most engaging, informative, or emotionally resonant segments.
  4. Preview and select your clips: Each suggested clip shows a thumbnail, timestamp, title, and a one-line reason. Click the play button on any card to watch the segment before selecting it.
  5. Download as MP4: Select the clips you want and click Extract. Each clip is cut to exact timestamps and saved as a standalone MP4 file ready to post.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an alternative to Opus.pro?

Yes. This tool provides the same core functionality as Opus.pro — AI-powered viral moment detection and short-clip extraction from long videos. It uses a credit system instead of a monthly subscription: video analysis costs 5 credits and each clip extraction costs 1 credit. New accounts receive 15 free credits to get started.

What video platforms does it support?

It supports YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), TikTok, Vimeo, and hundreds of other platforms via yt-dlp. If yt-dlp can download the video, this tool can analyze it.

How does the AI decide which moments to extract?

The audio is first transcribed using Whisper-class speech recognition. The full transcript is then analyzed by GPT, which identifies segments with strong hooks, emotional resonance, surprising information, or high shareability. Each suggested clip includes a title and a plain-language reason for why it was selected.

How long can the source video be?

Videos up to 1 hour long are supported. For best results, use videos with clear speech and a single primary speaker.

Do the clips have watermarks or captions burned in?

No. The output is a clean MP4 file with no overlays, logos, or watermarks. Captions are not added by default, giving you a clean base to edit, caption, or brand yourself.

How is my privacy protected?

Videos are downloaded and processed temporarily on our server. All job files — including the source video and any extracted clips — are automatically deleted within one hour of processing. We do not store, sell, or analyze your content beyond the immediate job.

What format are the extracted clips in?

All clips are exported as standard H.264 MP4 files with AAC audio, which is compatible with TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, X, and every major video platform.

Can I use this for commercial content?

The tool itself is free to use commercially. However, you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to use the source video and that your use complies with the original platform's terms of service and applicable copyright law.
