Turn long videos into short clips and publish them automatically

Automatically turns a long video into short clips and posts them to social media once they're ready.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats recheck processing status; runs once per each generated clip.

The problem it solves

Turning a long video into short, shareable clips for social media is slow work. You have to watch back the full video, pick the best moments, cut and export each clip, then post them one by one across platforms.

Who it fits

Content creators and social media managers who repurpose long-form video into short clips.

How it works

  1. A new long-form video is added to your Google Sheets tracker
  2. The system sends it to Klap AI to find the best moments and generate short clips
  3. It waits for the clips to finish processing and exports them
  4. The status is updated in Google Sheets
  5. The finished clips are published to your social media platforms
What you get

Clips published across platforms without you touching them

You get your long videos turned into short clips and published straight to your social platforms automatically.

What you get

A set of short video clips published to your social platforms and tracked in a spreadsheet.

What you need

A Klap AI account and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
