Clip a long video into shorts

Turn a webinar, talk or podcast into vertical clips with captions, then dub one or package the video for YouTube.

  1. Start clipping

    tracee clips create --url https://youtu.be/<video_id> --caption-style hormozi

    --url takes a video page on YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Loom and more, a Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or Box share link, or a direct file link. Or pass --media-id for a video in your library. Up to 2 hours and 1 GB. The answer has a job_id at once.

  2. Wait for the clips

    tracee clips get <job_id>

    Each call waits up to about 45 seconds. Once done, you get up to 12 clips, best first, each with clip_id, media_id, a viral score, a hook line, the transcript and ready-made copy for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts.

  3. Post one

    tracee posts create --body "<the clip's copy>" --channel tiktok --media <media_id>
