Short-form video content is dominating platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. But trimming long videos down into shareable clips can be time-consuming—especially if you’re doing it manually. Rewatching footage, guessing what might perform well, and cutting it down into clips can eat up hours of your workflow.

That’s where AI Studios’ Video Highlights tool comes in. Built for speed and simplicity, this feature uses AI to automatically scan your long-form content and extract the most engaging moments—so you can turn webinars, tutorials, interviews, and internal videos into high-impact clips in minutes.

Whether you’re a creator, marketer, educator, or business team, here’s how you can use AI to save time and increase your video output.

What Is AI Studios’ Video Highlights?

Video Highlights is an AI-powered feature inside the AI Studios platform that identifies the most engaging parts of a long video and automatically generates short clips from it. These clips are ideal for:

  • TikTok and Instagram Reels
  • YouTube Shorts
  • Email marketing teasers
  • Social media previews
  • Training video recaps

Instead of guessing what to cut, the AI does the work—analyzing your video’s audio, pacing, keywords, and structure to find the most watchable moments. You’re left with short, polished segments that are ready to post.

Why Use AI for Short Clip Creation?

Creating short-form content manually takes time, especially when you’re starting with a 30-minute or hour-long video. You either need to sit through the footage or pay someone else to do it. With AI-powered highlighting, you:

  • Save hours of editing
  • Publish more content, faster
  • Increase your reach across platforms
  • Repurpose existing content without starting from scratch
  • Get consistent, platform-ready clips that perform

It’s an easy way to double or triple your video output without creating anything new.

How to Use AI Studios’ Video Highlights Tool

Here’s how you can go from long-form to scroll-stopping clips in five simple steps.

1. Open the Video Highlights Tool

Log in to your AI Studios account and navigate to the Video Highlights tool from your dashboard. No editing skills or setup needed—just click and go.

2. Upload Your Long-Form Video

Upload the video you want to turn into short clips. This can be anything:

  • A recorded webinar
  • A screen-recorded demo
  • A talking-head YouTube video
  • A video made inside AI Studios
  • Even a Zoom recording or internal training session

3. Let the AI Automatically Generate Highlights

Once uploaded, the AI gets to work. You don’t have to mark timestamps or select scenes manually. The platform analyzes the video’s pacing, voice cues, keywords, and energy shifts to automatically select the most engaging moments.

4. Review Your Clips

AI Studios will generate multiple highlight clips from your video. You can preview them right away. If you like what the AI has chosen, you’re good to go. If you want to fine-tune the selection or remove a clip, you can easily do that too.

5. Export and Share

Export your clips in the right format for your platform. Whether it’s vertical for TikTok and Reels or square for social feeds, AI Studios has you covered. You can download your clips immediately and publish them anywhere you want.

Use Cases for AI Video Highlighting

This feature is especially powerful if you create:

  • Webinars that can be broken into short educational reels
  • Product demos with bite-sized takeaways
  • Expert interviews with standout quotes
  • Tutorials that can be split into how-to tips
  • Internal training content you want to repackage for teams

It’s also a great way to extend the life of your content. One long video can become 5, 10, or even 20 shorter clips—each giving you another chance to reach and engage your audience.
