Turn Long Videos into Viral Short Clips with AI

A.R.C. Freshness Analysis

Tool Stack

1. 1
   AI clip selection from long video

   Upload your long-form video to Opus Pro. It analyzes the content for engagement signals and auto-generates 8–15 clip suggestions with virality scores. Review the AI picks and select your best 5. Each clip will already have auto-generated captions and speaker tracking applied.
2. 2
   Style captions, add overlays, and format for virality

   Import each clip into Captions and run the full polish pass in one tool: apply your caption style (bold, high-contrast, word-by-word highlight), adjust timing on any rushed captions, add your logo or handle watermark, and layer in on-screen text overlays for the hook in the first 2 seconds. Captions handles everything that previously required a separate B-roll tool.
3. 3
   Schedule across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts with Buffer

   Upload all 5 clips to Buffer. Write unique captions per platform — TikTok captions should be conversational, YouTube Shorts keyword-rich, Instagram hashtag-heavy. Schedule one clip per day across 5 days to extend the reach of a single source video all week.
