The AI video clipping & editing tool
SpikeReel turns one long video into a week of scroll-stopping vertical shorts. It transcribes, finds the best moments, reframes to 9:16, and burns animated captions, automatically, in minutes instead of hours.
Everything a clip needs, done for you
A clipping tool should do more than chop a video in half. SpikeReel runs the whole edit, the parts that usually eat your afternoon.
Auto clip detection
AI reads the transcript and pulls the hooks, punchlines and key moments worth posting, no scrubbing the timeline.
Reframe to 9:16
Every clip is recomposed for vertical so the subject stays centered on phone screens.
Animated captions
Word-by-word captions that lift retention, in every language, right-to-left and non-Latin scripts included.
Designed cover per clip
Every clip comes with a designed cover with the title on it, ready to use as a thumbnail.
Virality scoring
Each moment is scored so you post the clips most likely to spike first.
Edit & schedule
Fine-tune wording, framing and captions in the studio, then line clips up to post.
Why manual clipping doesn't scale
Cutting one usable clip by hand means scrubbing the timeline for a hook, trimming it, cropping to vertical, and typing captions word-by-word, often 20 to 40 minutes per clip before you've even picked a title. A single hour-long episode can hold six or seven clips worth posting, that's most of a workday spent editing before anything goes out.
SpikeReel runs that whole pass automatically: it transcribes the footage, ranks every moment by how likely it is to hold attention, and hands you clips already reframed, captioned and titled, so the only decision left is which ones to post. Each clip also comes edited like a pro cut it: punch-in zooms on the key beats, speaker switching on two-person shows, filler words removed, and a seamless loop when the footage allows it.

AI video clipping, answered
＋ － What is an AI video clipping tool?
It's software that takes a long video, a podcast, interview, stream, webinar or talking-head recording, and automatically turns it into short, vertical, captioned clips ready for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts. SpikeReel transcribes the video, finds the strongest moments, reframes them to 9:16, and adds animated captions, so you skip the manual scrubbing-and-cutting.
＋ － Is SpikeReel free to use?
Yes, you can start free with no credit card. The free tier lets you process video and export real clips so you can see the quality before you pay. Paid plans and minute packs unlock more processing minutes.
＋ － How is it different from editing clips by hand?
Hand-editing a single clip means transcribing, finding the hook, cropping to vertical, and timing captions word-by-word, often 20-40 minutes per clip. SpikeReel does that pass automatically in minutes, then hands you an editor to tweak the wording, framing and captions before you post.
＋ － Does it caption other languages?
Yes, SpikeReel works in every language. Captions render correctly in right-to-left and non-Latin scripts too, with the right fonts built in, so the text doesn't break or show empty boxes the way many English-first tools do.
＋ － What kind of video should I upload?
Anything where someone is talking: podcasts, interviews, vlogs, webinars, lectures and livestream recordings. SpikeReel works from what is said, so music-only or stock footage has nothing to clip.
＋ － What can I upload?
Upload a file directly or paste a link. SpikeReel handles long-form talking content best, podcasts, interviews, webinars, streams, course lessons and vlogs.
