Upload a podcast, interview, or webinar — Clips AI finds the best moments, crops to speaker, adds captions, and renders vertical/horizontal/square clips ready to publish across every platform.

​
Pipeline

1

Upload or import

Upload via multipart (large files) or paste a public URL. Autoposting downloads, normalizes, and extracts duration metadata.
2

AI detection

Audio is transcribed with word-level timestamps. AI scores segments for virality, hook strength, and retention. Face detection builds per-speaker crop keyframes.
3

Review candidates

AI-ranked clip candidates appear with scores for hook, retention, clarity, and visual. Select a candidate and choose a layout.
4

Render

Dispatch a render job. Track progress via GET /clips/:id. Credits are deducted only on successful completion.
5

Publish

Download the rendered clip or create a post draft pre-filled with the video for direct platform publishing.

​
Import via URL

curl -X POST https://app.autoposting.ai/api-proxy/clips/import-url \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "brandSlug": "brand_slug",
    "url": "https://example.com/episode-42.mp4",
    "title": "Episode 42"
  }'
Poll GET /clips/:id for processing status — the status field moves from processing to ready when candidates are generated.

​
Layouts

LayoutBest For
FocusSingle or dominant speaker — dynamic reframe
SplitTwo-person conversations — speakers stacked top/bottom
Split + Caption BarHeavy dialogue — dedicated caption bar below split
CinemaB-roll, demos, wide shots — full source frame
AutoLet AI pick based on face count and scene analysis
Split layout requires at least 5 qualifying two-face frames spanning more than 3 seconds. If splitEligible: false, Split options are disabled and render falls back to Focus.
