Turn one long video into short clips, ranked best first
Raw2Reel turns a long talking video into short clips for Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Upload a podcast, talk, webinar, interview or talking vlog longer than 3 minutes, and Raw2Reel picks 5 to 10 moments that work on their own, ranks them best first and edits each one: vertical 9:16, word by word captions, pauses and retakes cut, music and b-roll. The first clip is usually ready in about 2 minutes.

| Cutting clips by hand | Raw2Reel | |
|---|---|---|
| Finding the moments | Watch the whole recording and note the good parts | Picked from the transcript and ranked, with a one-line reason for each |
| Where a clip starts and ends | Trimmed by ear, often mid-sentence | Whole sentences, cut in the quiet between two words |
| Vertical format | Reframe every clip yourself | Every clip comes out 9:16 |
| Captions, music, b-roll | A separate edit for every clip | Already on every clip |
| Time | An afternoon for a long episode | A 44-minute podcast gave 10 clips in 3 min 23 s |
Times measured on 1 November 2026, from the end of the upload: a 44-minute podcast gave all 10 clips in 3 min 23 s, a 7-minute talk in Arabic all 5 in 5 min 22 s. Times depend on the video and on how busy the editor is.
What makes a good clip
Raw2Reel looks for moments that make sense to someone who never saw the rest of the recording: no "as I said before", no answer without its question. Each clip starts on a line that makes people stop scrolling, like a bold claim, a question or the first moment of a story, and ends on a complete thought. Clips never overlap, and when the whole recording is good, they are spread across it.
What you see for every clip
The clips come in a list, best first. Each one shows a short title in the language spoken in the video, its length, one line on why it works and a preview with the captions on. Save & download makes it in Full HD 1080p, ready to post. Edit opens it in the full editor, where you change the captions, the music or the cuts by tapping words or typing what you want.
How many clips you get
A recording of up to about 11 minutes gives 5 clips. Every 2 minutes more adds one, up to 10 clips from 20 minutes on. If a recording has fewer strong moments, you get fewer clips instead of weak ones.
Every clip gets the full edit
Each clip is edited like any Raw2Reel video: the pauses, ums and repeated takes are cut, captions appear word by word in your style and colour, music sits under the voice and b-roll covers the key lines, your own pictures first if you add them. It works in the 90+ languages Raw2Reel recognises, and Arabic captions are written right to left.
Or one long video
If you want the whole recording edited as one video, tap One long video. The full recording is edited with the pauses cut and the captions on, and your short clips stay where they are.
If you clip for someone else
Clippers who get paid per clip or per view care about two numbers: how fast an episode turns into clips and what each clip costs. The clippers page goes through both, with the measured times and the price per clip.
Price: a saved clip is one video
Saving a clip counts as one video, like any video on Raw2Reel, so your 3 free videos every month can be your 3 best clips. For more, take the monthly plan (15 videos for $15) or a pack. If you are not on the monthly plan and want every clip from one recording, one payment unlocks them all: $7 in the US, and a local price in other countries. Unlocked clips don't use your videos.
What it does not do yet
Videos where most of the sound is music or drama, and vlogs with little talking, get one edit of the whole video instead of clips. A landscape recording becomes 9:16 with the whole picture in the middle and a soft blurred copy of it above and below: Raw2Reel does not crop in to follow a face yet. It does not post for you either: you save the clips and post them yourself. If auto posting matters to you, Opus Clip and Vizard do it; our list of AI video editors compares them with Raw2Reel.

Questions
Can AI turn a long video into short clips?
Yes. Raw2Reel reads the transcript of your long talking video, picks 5 to 10 moments that work on their own, ranks them best first and edits each one into a vertical clip with captions, music and b-roll.
How long does my video need to be?
Longer than 3 minutes, and mostly talking. A shorter clip is edited into one finished video, as always.
How long are the clips?
About 20 to 75 seconds each, built on whole sentences, the length that works on Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
How long does it take?
The first clip is usually ready 1.5 to 2.5 minutes after the upload, and all of them in about 2 to 6 minutes. You can close the page while it works.
Is it free?
Each saved clip counts as one video, and every account gets 3 free videos every month with no card. After that, the monthly plan (15 videos for $15) or a pack, or one payment that unlocks every clip of that recording ($7 in the US).
Does it work with a podcast filmed in landscape?
Yes. Each clip comes out 9:16 with the whole picture in the middle and a blurred copy of it behind. It does not crop in on the speaker's face yet.
Can I get the whole recording as one video too?
Yes. Tap One long video and the full recording is edited as one video. Your short clips stay.
Is Raw2Reel an Opus Clip alternative?
For talking videos, yes. It picks and ranks clips from a long recording and edits each one, and you pay per clip you save instead of per minute you upload. Opus Clip has extras Raw2Reel lacks, like following the speaker's face in a landscape video and posting for you.
