How clipping works

  1. Add the long video

    Upload a file or paste a YouTube link: a podcast, webinar, interview, talk or stream.

  2. Looptake finds the moments

    It reads the transcript and picks the parts with a strong opening line, a clear point and a clean ending.

  3. Clips are cut and styled

    Each moment becomes a 9:16 clip with word-timed captions, a hook title and your brand kit.

  4. Review, score, post

    Every clip gets a viral score. Keep the best, edit the rest, and schedule them all at once.

More than a cut

Every clip is finished like a generated video.

  • Hook titles

    A short on-screen title over the first seconds, written to stop the scroll.

  • Captions that move

    Word-timed, animated captions in your caption style. Edit any word.

  • B-roll on top

    Add AI visuals or stock over talking parts when a clip needs more motion.

  • One batch, one calendar

    Spread a week of clips across TikTok, Reels and Shorts in one step.

Clipping questions

What kind of long video works best?

Talk-led video: podcasts, interviews, webinars and talks. Clear speech and strong opinions make the best clips.

How does Looptake pick the clips?

It reads the transcript, scores each candidate moment for its opening line, payoff and length, and keeps the strongest. You can add or drop any clip.

Can I add my own hook or captions?

Yes. Change the hook title, edit captions word by word, or trim the start and end in the scene editor.

Does clipping use credits?

Cutting, captions, editing and posting are free. Credits pay only for AI media you add, such as generated B-roll or a voiceover. See pricing.

How is this different from a clipping-only tool?

Clips land in the same place as your generated videos: one calendar, one viral score, one set of analytics, and auto-post to all three platforms.
