How it works

Step 1

Paste the video link

Add the URL of the YouTube video you want to clip. It needs captions or auto-generated subtitles.

Step 2

Get a list of clips

AI reads the transcript and returns up to 8 clips with start and end timestamps, a title and a hook.

Step 3

Play each clip

Preview any clip on the page. It plays only that time range of the original YouTube video.

Step 4

Cut it in Bitcut

Open the app on iPhone to trim the clip, crop it to vertical, add subtitles and export.

Clip a YouTube video without scrubbing

Long videos hide their best parts. A two-hour podcast may hold five minutes you would want to share, and finding them means watching everything. This YouTube clipper reads the captions, scores the segments that work on their own and gives you the timestamps of each one.

You see the start, the end, a title and a hook for every clip, plus a player that jumps straight to that range. The video itself is never downloaded.

How to make clips from YouTube videos

Start with the video link, check the suggested clips in the preview, and note the ones worth keeping. Then open Bitcut on iPhone to cut each clip, crop it to 9:16, add animated word-by-word subtitles and export it.

The tool is free, handles videos up to 3 hours and allows 12 runs per hour and 50 per day, with up to 8 clips returned each time.
